Okay I was 10 when Devoe resigned, so I don't remember how great we were than. So I did some research. Here's what I found. He inhereted a talented team and went to the NCAA. Then he went to four more NCAA tourneys, for the most part using players he inherited. His teams never went past the Sweet sixteen. In the end he coached 11 years going to 6 NCAA playoffs, one sec title and a few trips to the NIT. So know being lo i don't remember much about him, but he doesn't seem to impressive to me. Keep trying.

He accomplished more in his first 5 years than Pearl. Yet you seem impressed with Pearl and not him.

You guys do love to knob slobber on hatvol.
Devoe stats are comparible maybe even a little better than Pearls. But didn't he coach in the late 70's early 80's? That was almost 30 years ago and look at the roller coaster TN bball has been on since. We are finally again considered a top tier program. I still think the Pearl haters are will never be happy unless we are in the final four every year.

I love how you and those of your ilk love to scream about personal attacks and a good percentage of your posts start with the words in bold of something similar. Grow up or grow balls.

We will probably make it to the second round, but I think had Tyler not screwed up we would be doing much better.
Second question. Yes Deveo inherited a young but talented team. Google it. Thats all I did and three articles talked about the great young talent that he inherited. After Pearl goes to the tourney this year yes he will have been more successful.

A. Like Pearl
B. Sounds like Pearl again.
C. Wait, is this Pearl or DeVoe?
D. Take your own advice. Pearl is no better than DeVoe or Green, yet somehow we can't get better?

I don't have to Google it, I was there for the games. The bottom line is simple. People fall all over themselves to praise Pearl. The fact of the matter is he inherited a team that had a better record the previous season than DeVoe did. Period.

Hey thanks for the history lesson. Go to work tomorrow, so have fun. Love a good discussion and regardless of any of it I love the Vols. Many of you made good points, but at the end of the day Pearl will be our coach for the next few years and I for one am glad.
Peace!

I guess he thinks we win the SEC tourney this year and go far in the NCAA tourney.

DeVoe's first five had five NCAA bids, an SEC Tournament title, an SEC regular season title, a Sweet 16 appearance, and zero first round NCAA Tournament losses. He took over a team that was 11-16 the season prior to his arrival.

Because there's no way we could have a basketball program without Bruce Pearl.

it was always awful before. you can really tell who's only been self-aware for 5 years or less on this board. anyone who was a vol ball fan in the '80's and '90's knows CBP IS the best thing that ever happened to UT bball. hope he stays.

It's a good thing that the bad opinion of CBP is limited to a certain few here at Volnation. People have a very short memory, and just don't realize it. CBP has turned this program into a perennial top 25 program. Who would come here it CBP left. We have onee of the top football programs in the nation, and even though I feel we ended up with a good hire, we couldn't beg coaches to come here.

you also realize the 64-team format was not put in place until 1985 (for example, there were 40 teams in the 79 tourney)

Go back and read all the posts.

In short, though, for $2 million the list lengthens.

The "we can't get people here" garbage needs to be put to an end. For the money we can pay and the facilities, why in the Hell couldn't we get a great coach?

people who think he is not the greatest coach UT has ever had (or will ever have) are not necessarily anti-Pearl. Sometimes it seems that way because some say he can do no wrong. Pointing out deficiencies in his coaching is not the same as saying you wish him fired. It's just frustrating to watch certain scenarios play out every year/game.

I understand the frustration...I want them to win all the games, be in the final four evry year, and so on...but I also realize where this program has been, being a fan for almost 30 years. Look at Williams over at Chapel hill...supposedly the best of the best, compared this season to Haiti...got a bench loaded with Mcdonald's AA..bet he wishes he had CBP's record this year.
I just get tired of all the negativity on here about CBP, ridiculous to me.
