How can he not be fired or suspended?

His success the only thing keeping the incompetent egghead in the AD's chair employed. Hamilton can't fire him without walking out behind him.

This, that and the fact that most coaches likely do the same, but don't get caught. I don't believe in integrity in college sports any longer.

This sounds completely uncredible.

May sound uncredible -- but read it on here and it was a survey by some credible news source regarding the 10 out of 10 coaches who thought they had violated the call rule in some form. I don't have the time to re -source it but it was done by the news media. Call Hyams tomorrow and let them research it for you.

I read today that CBP -- called and told the parents that if they came by it would be a violation. You can speculate on whether he said --- please come on by --- please don't come by---you can decide if you guys want to stop by---whatever etc. etc. etc.

I think that it was not orchestrated --because he was just having either a house warming party at his new house or a party for one of his kids birthdays or something. Those guys were in town on an unofficial and the rest is history. I am not going to speculate but Shelby or the kids dad likely took the picture.

If I was an interested party --I would be curious how long the kids were at the party. If they just stopped by --- grabbed a burger off the grill and met everyone and then headed out it would be more innocent than if there was some hardcore recruiting going on. I am sure the NCAA has asked these and many more probitive questions and we will get to read all about it in Feb or March.

UT should ban ESPN from covering UT athletics.
just for Freak

I disagree: you're posts are lacking logical thought. It is nonsensical to think that espn would try to push down a university who appears on their network football coverage. The idea that espn has any feelings, good or bad, towards ut is comical. It's a business. As for Bruce-what other infractions would you agree merit his firing? If you cannot think of any, then it's a good sign that you are too biased to have a competent opinion on the matter.

Don't worry about significant sanctions by the NCAA. MHF has made it clear that this is a lot of insignificant stuff and nothing will come of it. He has an unparalleled record of making correct predictions and he knows more than most any one on this board. Sooo....actually nothing to worry about and folks who think this is significant are just Pearl bashers.

How after reading the entire letter and the context it was put in can you say that this is insignificant?

it pains me to say it because I've been a fan of Pearl and the job he has done here, but the facts that he knowingly committed violations, told recruits he knew it was a violations (incredibly dumb and arrogant), and then lied about it... he has to go. Unfortunately, I have zero confidence in Hamilton to get any hire right given his piss poor track record. I feel like the one bright spot in UT men's athletics is going to go down the toilet, too.

Can't DiPietro just fire both of them? He has to know this is going to be a disaster if we don't.

He's taken Sampson's excessive calls -- the Tennessee staff has been accused of making 96 extra calls, including 34 by Pearl himself -- and raised them two years' worth of deceit.

Dana is stirring the pot and she is a liar or she is incredibly ignorant of the Sampson case.

If Pearl lies to the NCAA ever again he is toast. That is what Sampson did.

And 32 calls is not the hundreds Sampson did.

Personally, I'd rather have a coach where I didn't have defend him against these types of allegations. Does it really matter how many phone calls? Bruce Pearl and MH have done well enough stirring the pot on their own! Your position, that the sportswriter is a liar, is beyond ironic and just stupid. She's not saying anything that isn't true. If you don't like the way MH administers and BP coaches, time for a new MH and BP.

PMC, read more about Sampson.

I can guarantee that Pearl will not get anything like the penalty Sampson got. Dana almost certainly knows that and is seeking to heighten the drama here. That is why this is BS.

One of the many reasons I can't stand ESPN's opinions towards anything that involves UT athletics.

I hate ESPN and won't be watching it any tonight.

Why am I not shocked that you're one of the ESPN conspiracy nuts?

And back to obscurity!! :eek:lol::eek:lol: Yeah thats what we need to do!! Better get the black curtains back out!!!
I love alleged "true fans" like you who have so little faith in the program that there's only one coach who could every win here. Since you're into name changes, why don't you try SmokeyPearlSuck or SteveForbes'*****?

Who is a true fan and who is a "true fan?"

True fan=Believes the program is bigger than any one person.
"True fan"=A cult of personality who thinks the only way to win at UT is body paint and a trash system.

Count me in the first option of true fan. This program is FAR bigger than Bruce Pearl. We could get a pretty good coach if he were to be canned.

Damn that state law that says UT can only hire Wade Houston, Jerry Green, or Buzz Peterson if Pearl leaves.
It's even tougher than that. If Pearl is fired, Peterson has to coach wearing one of Jerry Green's suits and Wade Houston's mini-fro.
