Do you know what I find peculiar?

[QuickdrawMcVols]

Here is to hoping that you can pull that out next year. :hi:

Unlike you, I will be happy if Pearl wins a national title here. For you, it will be one thing less for you to b**** about.

But gosh darnit, the sun did come up today didnt it. At least you'll still have that to occupy your b******* time.

 

[VolDad]

Noone else ever has. Man you are a genius

Yeah, Tennessee’s outstanding history has plenty of guys who were able to do that.

Right. Because our only choices are Pearl or to rehire a previous coach.

Brilliant.

Someone teach him how to use the quote button.

I know how to use it. I choose not to. Obviously you understood that I was quoting someone. Why do you care?

33rd(and thats after pearls run) is bad to me. I dont know about you but im not proud of 33rd.

Yeah, 33rd out of 330 sucks...

 

[NashVol11]

Pearl got here i9n 2005 buddy, nice try though

Yeah and if we are still 26th in the decade then obviously it isn't his 5 years that help our historical ranking that much...

 

[VolDad]

Dont bother arguing with the brainless wonder. He needs to go back to grammar school

Thank you Quickshot. Don't you have some whining to do to the Mods?

 

[iuvol2012]

Don't inject facts into his ranting.

I'm taking a break. This thread is running in circles. I don't understand why some people think Pearl>Tennessee, Pearl=Tennessee, or Pearl made Tennessee.

No coach is greater than the program. I'm glad we have him and are having success. But he's not the program, and the program did exist without him.

Can you please point me to the posts that claim Pearl is bigger than the program? I missed them but I would enjoy a chuckle.

Freak, you have been spot on in this thread. Well done.

Everyone doesn't agree with me, but that's what message boards are for -- discussion. There are two sides and I'm just stating my opinion.

My biggest issue is people keep referencing posts that I've never seen as the basis for their argument. Not saying they don't exist, I just haven't seen them.

 

[iuvol2012]

I don't think many care that Pearl was a snitch. No one takes the 'AA seriously anyway. The fact that a coach has two vacated Final Fours and is still coaching at a major program is laughable.

If it weren't for WWW, Calipari wouldn't even have the UK job right now. Just my opinion.

It's a Tennessee site. Of course there is a double standard.

Touché.

Yet you Quickshot are the one that runs crying to the Mods. Ironic huh.

Not at all, my thread (which seems to occupy the majority of YOUR time on the board) has served its purpose. My old thread was re-instated, and as a bonus a board rule has been clarified.

2. Some of you may dislike certain coaches or former coaches. That's completely understandable. I'm of the belief that a school is bigger than any coach. However, I also believe it's in poor taste to take personal shots at Tennessee coaches or players. Nicknames like Phil are really not necessary and don't add anything to the discussion.

So to answer your question, nope... I'm happy shooting your baseless arguments to the ground.

Your wish...

Whatever. Just realize Pearl is UT as far as bball is concern. So I am comfortable with putting the man above the University of Tennessee. Regardless of what your idol Hatvol will tell you UT bball tradition was virtually nonexistent prior to Pearl. You still havent answered my question: How would you hire that is better than Pearl? That would actually come to UT?

Quickshot. What is my baseless argument that you are supposedly shooting to the ground?

If it is that you are a whiny poster; well I am sorry but there is too much evidence to the contrary.

 

[QuickdrawMcVols]

lol what would you do without this "whiny" thread? Raise your kids, maybe?

Actually, it's probably better that you're on here instead.

 

[Freak]

Your wish...

That is definitely over the top.

How does that work exactly... being bigger than the program? Does that mean if Pearl went to another school, Bballvol would be a bigger fan of Pearl's new team than Tennessee?

Good find. Any others?

 

[chavisut]

Bruce Pearl is not above the University of Tennessee.
Bruce Pearl has had great success at the University of Tennessee.
The University of Tennessee could find a coach as good or better than Bruce Pearl if need be.

But, would you fire Bruce Pearl right now and hire John Calipari just because he gets better talent and has a better history in the tourney?

Some on here would. After all, in their eyes it helps the PROGRAM. And that's the most important thing.

Uh, I would in a heart beat.

Unfortunately, that is a pipe-dream.

Besides BigOrangePassion1, who in their right mind wouldn't do this?

 

[QuickdrawMcVols]

You're telling me that if Calipari wanted the UT job, you would be in favor of firing Pearl to get him?
