We need to get behind Coach Pearl now more than ever! Let's be real fans for once, people!

The team is lost. No clue. No fight. Low energy.....all the signs the leadership is missing....both in the staff and on the court.

It ain't gonna fix itself, change is needed. The 8 game break may be a good thing, it will again provide another test for the team....do they have any fight left in them.

When you cash the big checks you should understand that you will get criticized when you lose multiple games you should win with ease. When you add the ethical stuff on top, you should absolutely expect skepticism.

I'm beginning to wonder if the Vols will be competitive in the SEC after such a horrible non-conference start. Some people were wonderinf if the Vols could win 30 this season. Hmmm? Guess you'd better re-look at that and wonder if they'll win 20 or more. Is the problem coaching or is it leadership on the team. This team had better get their heads on straight and decide where they want to be in March and how far they want to go, otherwise there will be some blowouts by the opponents. Can the Vols beat Vandy, Florida, Kentucky (I wonder) and lose to some SEC teams that we should beat twice? Bruce should tell them their play is unacceptable and ask them where they want to be by mid March or even make the NCAA tourney.Telll them that if they don't play up to their potential or he'll find someone one the bench who will play better and help the team move on. He needs MOTIVATION and NOW!

We miss W.Chism's leadership & fire on the court. Nobody has stepped up to fill this huge gap...Hopson is incapable of such, going into lapses & funks when shots don't fall. Pearl haters, give it a rest. He revived UT basketball. If he's fired, then many of us will never again follow UT bb.

If this is true, you weren't a UT basketball fan anyway. You are obviously only a Pearl fan. UT basketball doesn't need you. The program is always more important than any coach. You sir, are the one that needs to give it a rest and stay off the basketball forum.

It has nothing to do with doom and gloom. There has been a lot made about people claiming to take the "realist" stance here over the last few years, but this time that is absolutely the case. The reality of the situation is this, This team is not getting better. In fact, they seem to be doing the exact obvious. That is flat out unacceptable going into conference play, and whether any of you like it or not, the coaches deserve every bit as much of the blame as anyone

Finally, a little sensibility in the basketball forum.

Then you're pathetic. Go root for Tiger High or UK.
