Hatvol96, I'm just curious, Who do you think would be a option for UT if we were to lose Pearl?

It would depend on when he leaves. It's hard to list candidates if you don't know when you're filling a vacancy. If he left tomorrow, Gregg Marshall and Mike Anderson would be the first names that would come to mind. Brian Gregory would also be on the list.

Hat, I saw your comment on Majerus in the Pembroke Post game Report and it made me think he might be worth looking into if Pearl left.... I had actually forgotten about him but he's done well wherever he's been.

Marshall would be a solid choice. Anderson is ok, but it doesn't seem that he can ever establish a consistent winning product.

Majerus is a fabulous coach. He would be an utterly awful fit at Tennessee.

Growing up as a Vols fan who is now thirty. Until now mens bball has been irrelevant. If your not a fan of Pearl you need a history lesson. Support CBP he's not going to win every game but is a damn good coach and an upgrade from anyone else who has coached during my lifetime.

The last thing I need is a "history lesson" from some fairweathered slackjaw who thinks UT just started playing basketball five years ago.

Dude, sorry to insult your intelligence. Lets compare who's bigger Vols fan? You hurt me by saying I'm fair weather. What are you 11. I grew up going to their games from the time I was about 3. My point was he is the best coach we've had in my lifetime. If i'm wrong tell me whose better. BTW just cause your able to spend all your time on this website doesn't make you a bigger fan.

With the class that Bruce has coming in next year he would be crazy to leave. And if he didn't leave for Memphis last year then I don't see him going to GT.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know beans about basketball from an X's & O's standpoint, but I don't understand the idea that if Pearl left Tennessee basketball just couldn't possibly ever be better than it is now. Am I happy with the job Pearl has done? Yeah.... as far as it goes. He has been an improvement over the last few coaches but quite honestly I think he's done as much as he'll ever be able to do here.... Sweet 16's are nice but if Tennessee ever wants to get to a final four I'm not sure I see Pearl getting us there.

CBP is the best thing for Tennessee basketball since well... since all the other jobbers came in and did not much. Like Buzz, O'Neil, and to a smaller extent Green. If Bruce leaves expect a decade pretty much like that until we again finally get something right. Now I'm not saying that Pearl is the world's best coach, he seemed to coach better at a smaller school, with scrappier guards who could play pressure defense, then here where we get all the slow 6'8 guys we can get, who also seem to have an incredibly hard time putting the ball through the basket (unless they happen to be standing right under it). But overall I think he's a good coach and has given UT BB an identity, something they've not had in a long time. I don't think he's going anywhere, if he was he would have taken Memphis or Indiana, not GT. He likes Tennessee (from what I've read in the papers) and I really believe he wants to retire here.

Again, how does one turn down jobs they were never considered for?

Scott Drew also joins in those discussions.

True.

Pitino might be the King, though.

His guys get caught sniffing around an NBA job and it's a plot to kill his recruiting class.

How sure are you that Pearl was never considered an option by the decision makers at Memphis?

Absolutely. They offered two guys the job before they decided to go with Pastner. The only people who considered Pearl a candidate were his sycophants Parrish and Calkins.
