Of Tennessee's Last 5 B-Ball Coaches, Which would you rather have....

Is the USC game here or there?

In LA.

It Tennessee loses to Southern Cal this year, it'll be an indication that UT is flat awful. SC will be lucky to win 10 games.

But watch mouth-breathers point to a down season for SC as "proof" of the superiority of Pearl.

Based on your biased views and many other O'Neill supporter's opinions, O'Neill could outcoach Pearl with a team full of mannequins.

Please don't start making excuses now just to cover your arse when they play.

And O'Neill had 4 years at Tennessee and finished up the same as when he got here. Horrible.

He finished at Northwestern with one of the worst seasons in Big Ten history. Mind-Blowing Horrible.

It would take some Cal-Like Cheating for O'Neill to have success anywhere.

Why would that surprise you since they're already comparing records at UT without any historical knowledge?

of course, if they are dumb enough to think that O'Neill is a bad coach because he inherited UT's program when it was in shambles, then they are dumb enough to continue to think the same thing when he coaches at USC.

If they point to that as proof of his superiority, does that mean I get to use John Brady's Final Four appearance and winning record against Pearl to show his dominance of Tanning Bed Bruce?

Thank you for illustrating my statement.

I respect Pearl bringing UT back, but I'm sure KO would have has success if Dickey wasn't the AD.

Mears tops the list for me personally.

 

[hatvol96]

Thank you for illustrating my statement.

I'm still wondering why there's no record of KO's fourth season at UT. Oh, that's right. There wasn't one. Just more flat out lies by the uninformed goofs who worship the Tanning Bed Kid. Thank God for the ignore function. It limits my seeing that idiocy to the rare occasion when someone quotes a member of the Star of David Bodypaint Brigade.

O'Neill and it isn't close.

:waveyearl and it is not even close.

 

[hatvol96]

I've come to realize I hate Pearl's sycophants worse than the Fulmerites. At least those mongoloids had a national title to brag about. Then again, it's not going to last long enough to really bother me. He'll keep recruiting the Marques Johnsons/Bobby Mazes/Melvin Goins of the world. Let's see where that gets him.

 

[Mannie]

Yeah.....are we talking about the same KO that hasn't nailed down a coaching job for more than 3 years since he left here. People that are so critical of HCBP and think that KO was better seriously have a warped perspective.

 

[IPorange]

Offensive possessions shouldn't feel awkward like a junior high prom. I don't know if I can bear another season of that... It's going to take some self-medicating to endure.

And then there's the defense...

If by warped perspective you mean one that extends past pep rallies and t-shirts...

Hey, those T-shirts are the foundation of the program. You can't win without free, crappy clothing for the students who only bother to show up occasionally.

Thank you for illustrating my statement.

I was about to tell you the same thing.

Please lend some credible evidence to back up your claim that O'Neill is a good coach worthy of all the jobs he has inherited. He has ONE good season at Marquette. ONE.

If you will actually read my posts - I'm comparing O'Neills past "success" in my arguments. Not his upcoming seasons at USC. I just was stating that the Anti-Orange colored glass wearers on the board will begin making excuses now because they know O'Neill will fail.

Try reading before Posting.

He had a pretty good season at Arizona, too, and the last time I checked bad college coaches don't generally get NBA jobs.

And failing in this sense is relative. Kevin O'Neill could take that team to the NIT and it would be a great success considering the state of USC's program.

This "defense" is really getting old.

I will gladly begin PMing all my posts to you.

IGNORE FUNCTION - A posters way of hiding from anyone who will Out-Argue him. Its the equivalent of running and hiding.

Pathetic.

By the way - the insults need some work. I've seen better.

Try looking at the circumstances of personnel when looking at records. Athletes matter a great deal. With this Rosetta stone in mind, perhaps you can decipher what the rest of us "anti-orange colored glass wearers" are talking about in regards to the condition of the UT program when O'Neill arrived versus when he left, as well as why the road will be difficult for him next year at USC.

I do read your posts, against my better judgement. It's kind of like how I check out the astrology page in the paper, even though I think all that stuff is crap.

And failing in this sense is very relative. Kevin O'Neill could take that team to the NIT and it would be a success considering the state of USC's program.

He Had a VERY Sub-Par season at Arizona. 19-15 overall and 8-10 in conference. Good for 7th in conference.
The NCAA gave him an invite over several other deserving schools solely to keep the streak of NCAA appearances active.

O'Neill continues to get jobs regardless of how bad he is. It makes no sense. He has a LOSING overall record. I don't get it.

And I agree with the USC - He has a huge mountain to climb.

Don't you know? It's not about the players, it's about the coach. Unless something bad happens and Bruce Pearl is the coach, then it's the players.

Get your tin foil hat out.

Wow, so a long-time head coach quits a team days before the season starts, a new guy takes over and is only able to lead them to the NCAA tournament and win one less game than the long time coach? That's sub-par right there.
