I Call Foul

OP, sounds right. Tix for players go through an office and if,the chain of command for drug testing begins and ends with the coach, it's a failed policy. That wasn't why the coach was fired, this is just some trumped up junk to throw out to put the coaching staff in more of a bad light. The coach shoulda been fired/suspended in September, or in November. The AD should go now, or soon.

Enjoy the defense of the media going on here, all the threads about Hyams and writer 32, 'sup?

If anybody doesn't think Pearl was fired because he didn't report the bump violation...then (as I usually say) I don't know what to tell you.

So, when AD Mikey found out about the bump, why did he keep him around? Why the need to bolster the case with some stuff the 'AA could care less about?

Well, he didn't know about till mid-November, and it was already during the season. Might as well give him the rest of the year.

OP, sadly you put in a lot of work for nothing. The situation sucks, but you immediately jumped to a conclusion that the administration at UT is corrupted, in a sense. If you think Pearl was wrongfully fired, then you have some serious thinking to do. The people that work in the administration know a lot more about the situation than the general public will probably ever know.

Bruce Peal lied to the NCAA. He made his bed. I loved Bruce Pearl as TN's basketball coach but he is not bigger than the University of TN. Please support the direction the university must go and quit complaining. I'm sure their are many more positive ways you can contribute to our beloved university than to be so negative. Call foul all you want but crying over Bruce Pearl and his situation is not going to benefit the University of TN at all.

If Pearl was fired in September, patrick would have to just complain about Pearl being gone. If you think that Pearl was fired over anything other than a 10.1 violation, you have no grasp over what happened.

C'mon.

OK. If I say that no coach could survive what this AD knew in Nov. and he would be fired sooner or later. Could you give me that any AD who's top 3 programs were under investigation and the top 2 would be at the penalty phase as we speak, should he be fired?

Actually it matters alot. It explains alot. This AD throws players under the bus and leaves town without answering for it.

In closing, I CALL FOUL!!!

I Cry Foul on Bruce Pearl. He is not an honest man. We must look beyond the image to the real person.


He is a snake oil saleman that has sold us a bill of goods.

He cheated [not well by the way], he lied to the NCAA, He instructed his coaches to lie, he conspired a cover up with the Crafts [that did not work].

Instead of pointing fingers at people who are doing thier jobs, look at the one who commited the crime that cost him his job. [And rightfully so] Then, Pearl did not have the decency to resign.

The University of Tennessee Campus is not a cleaner more honest place now that Pearl is gone.

There was a time that I loved Pearl being our coach. But reality is reality. He did wrong and He was punished, it is not the media, the AD, of Mr. Cheek's fault!

P.S. Take off the Pearl Colored glasses and breath the free air.

Somebody has way too much time on their hands, and the OP must not have a job to right such a long post, so therefore the OP must be Bruce Pearl posting.

I call foul(s) on Bruce Pearl. The man and the truth are distant strangers.

Another very gray area imo. I guess it boils down to 30 seconds vs. 3 minutes and different non-lawyers opinions of and interpretations of what is and what isn't a bump.

Even if it was for three minutes -- this will be reduced to a secondary violation or dismissed entirely imo.

The unspoken one at SC tried to get at least one secondary every week and the administration did nothing to him.

Thank you, Patrick, for a well written and reasoned post. I did not read your post as a "Keep Bruce" post, but rather one about an administration that prefers to use half truths and innuendos to support its actions at any cost even if it harms other people. And to be honest, I don't understand many of the post which attack you and the post or call it irrelevant. I think it is probably because many of them have enjoyed using the same diatribe themselves to further their flaming of BP. I agree, BP is gone and Vol fans need to let that go. But the ones who put this last round of half truths and violation of policy needlessly in the public domain (are you listening MH and Cheek?) are still with us and should be held accountable for that. Why did they feel the need to add the additional statements to the firing of BP? And who leaked the info about the failed drug test to the press? These are relevant and important issues for UT going forward.
