No, but that is because my expectations were probably too unrealistic. I know nothing about the man other than what I have read in the last few hours. I have no idea if he will be a success, or an utter failure, either way he has my support. And by the way, just because someone votes no, does not mean they aren't a fan, or have only followed UT bball for the last 6 years. Plenty of people on this board were down on Pearl since day one, and although I disagreed with them (before the infractions of course) it did not make them any less of a fan than me. The reality of this hire is we just don't know how it will turn out, and to say otherwise is a bit naive. I feel pretty certain that a vast majority of us on this board are letting our emotions be dictated by a few heartwarming stories, coaching pedigree, and a few recent years of success. At the end of the day, all great coaches had to start somewhere similar. Here's to hoping ours turns out that way. Welcome CCM.
