"I thought over the weekend that Pearl was going to make it and he very well may. There are plenty of people that count who want Pearl to remain the basketball coach, but there's also some that count who in my opinion aren't as sure about wanting him to return. So I don't know what's going to happen. And so instead of going back and forth, what I'm saying at this point is simply that I don't know what's going to happen with Pearl." - Brent Hubbs

"The charges are known, yes, but penalties are not and that could influence UT's decision. I was leaning hard towards him making as of last week, now I think it's much more of a 50/50 proposition. I think the revelation of the 'bump' at Oak Hill--as we've all discussed--has had a really negative impact on his chances. Not trying to dodge, but there's no way to make a definitive statement right now IMO, but I don't think there's any question that his status is in jeopardy." - Rob Lewis

Seems the "bump" violation might be the dagger.

Theres nothing fans can do except wait for the penalties. The only people who may know right now are BP and MH. If the University knew he was to be fired I dont think they could do it until after the season, because the staff is quilty as well.

As down as I am on Pearl right now, I think that getting worked up over that "bump" violation is idiotic.

"the one surprise in the letter was the fact that four days after the press conference in september announcing the self-imposed penalties on the basketball program. Head coach bruce pearl and tony jones committed a recruiting violation in talking to a 2012 prospect briefly at oak hill academy.

There was nothing illegal about the trip to the school and you can say "hi" to a 2012 prospect, but you couldn't at that time of the recruiting calendar stop and have a conversation with him. There's no secret that in recruiting, violations of the "bump" rule are commonplace. In fact, it’s so common that no school ever turns in another school for violating the bump rule. The problem is that at the time pearl violated the rule, he was under tremendous scrutiny.

The decision to keep pearl on the road for two weeks after announcing the self-imposed penalties was not received well by some, and we have heard from several sources that the ncaa made ‘follow-up’ visits to some of the schools pearl visited in the two weeks between the press conference and when his off-campus recruiting ban began.

The now ‘infamous bump,’ that occurred between pearl and jordan adams at oak hill academy was listed as a ‘major violation’ in the ncaa’s letter this week. Certainly no one on tennessee’s campus is being ‘cocky’ in regards to the allegations, but there is a feeling among some that we’ve spoken to this week that there’s a high likelihood of that charge being reduced or thrown out altogether."

That's really weird. Hubbs always has a definitive take on every subject, a solid opinion no matter what the situation is, never riding the fence, but now he says he's not sure what will happen? Next thing you know Chris "My BMI is not" Low will be saying that he's not sure either.

I don't think its so much the violation itself, but the fact it occurred four days after his public display of "remorse."

IMO, most thought BP was covering up something bigger because his lie was so stupid, and thought the ncaa would find more, larger, issues as they dug. Nothing else came out, except this. He may still go, but I was relieved with the noi.

If in fact it is only a random bump and not a coordinated bump, it doesn't matter IMO. But, when you add this bump to the pile, it may be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Me too. I mean big deal that he got coaches to lie for him, they all lied to the NCAA and he tried to influence a parent to lie for him.

You have a reading comprehension issue and it can be fixed if you focus. Nothing bigger came out in the noi that would further damage UT, and that was a relief for many.

Pearl's fiasco is a real shame. The man has generated a reservoir of good will, with exciting seasons and charitable works. He seems like a very good man, flawed with a proclivity for deception. Coach tried to coverup something that wasn't even worth lying about. Truth be told, the lies worth investigating were told by officials from the SEC and NCAA, about Cam Newton.

And I agree with you, but remember it is not allowed to bring up other liars when discussing Pearl. The pollyanna mindset doesn't care for that.

And I have my opinion, what's the difference? What claim did I make? I simply said I disagree that he's a "good man."

You are free to give your opinion as is everyone else problem is you are not helping the poster who ezpressed his opinion. You simply disagreed without supplying him with information as to why you disagree.

He probably thought that you were capable of understanding that "good men" don't end up with unethical charges against them and cause embarrassment to their profession and employer. Guess that is just too difficult for you to understand.

Helping him what? Has stuff in Bruce's personal and professional life not been detailed enough?

like it or not CBP has done some things in the last 5 years that could give someone reason to doubt him (both personally and professionally). It's not really hating on Bruce to point these out
