I want to say first that I am aware you are paying thousands upon thousands of dollars in buyouts. I also am aware that firing a coach at this point in the season is usually not idea. Even with those things in mind here is why it would be in the best interest of our basketball program to cut ties with coach martin now:

-We have missed the tournament 2 years in a row after being there 6 strait times. Not to mention losing in the first round of the NIT.

- With our play up to this point there is no basketball mind that would tell you Tennessee can continue to play at this level and make the tourney field this season.

- We have IMO the most talented team that we have had on the floor since we went to the elite 8 and it is being wasted. If we change coaches at the end of the season it would take them at least 3 years to get the talent level on the floor back to where it is now.

-By bringing in a new coach we give this team a chance to do something in march. It would not be an easy situation but I am still 100% confident that a coach could make the transition and have our team playing much more consistent and at a higher level pretty quickly.

- Yes I would love to see Bruce Pearl back but at this point I would love to see anyone with a decent track record have a chance with this talent.

I still believe having Bruce back is just a wishful pipe dream...his rehiring after sanctions against him would almost be unprecedented...never been done. Whoever considers CBP will have the burden of the NCAA watchdog...and I am not sure any reputable school wants that baggage. I have said if anyone hires him it will be ETSU...and with Bartow in obvious hot water and with Phil there as AD that could very well happen.

Yeah CBP is going to leave ESPN for ETSU lmao. He'll land somewhere bigger than ETSU. I'm still thinking Boston College.
