I've looked and looked after Hat mentioned Pearl not really being offered, and he's right. The only places where that was mentioned were in blogs and "rumor" sections of news outlets. Plus, both schools denied it. It clearly never happened.

I was in Memphis area over the weekend and it was actually kind of sad the newpeople dicscussing the Memphis coaching job vacancy. They gave the impression people were rejecting the job. I think going back they would have offered Cal more to stay.

What more could they offer him besides the key to King Willie's office?

Nobody wants that. The place is full of FBI agents.

You know, after I think about it, they probably did offer it to him and that was the deal breaker for Cal to pUKe.

...and felon bodyguards, Director of Operations, and baby mamas.

There's no way they should have let Cal go. Saying that, Cal wanted to cement his legacy and win a championship at one of the most prestigious schools in basketball.

I don't think the UofM had much choice in the matter.
