Have you seen all of the posts speculating on making the NCAAT yet Bruce is working on a 5-game winning streak and crushing our party for the third straight year?

my plan is for Barnes to be here 4 more years give or take, and then to re-hire a more seasoned, NCAA experience Bruce Pearl back into the fold after a long stint at Auburn

That was a fantastic message, btw. And, I don't mean just for young people -- we should all think about what he said.

You have to be kidding right? After the FBI was sniffing around Auburn the past few years? Lol.

oh really. do tell what exactly Pearl did that he could still have a job there?

Pearl "has never been implicated in anything as it pertains to this specific case other than that he employed someone who broke NCAA rules for his own personal benefit "

His assistant "Person...accepted money from an outsider. But the allegations there are not that he used the estimated $91,000 to lure anybody to Auburn's campus. Instead, the allegations are that he used the money to create influence over players already on campus so that he could theoretically steer them to a certain financial adviser whenever they became professionals. In other words, Pearl did not obviously benefit from Person's violations the way Miller allegedly benefitted from Richardson's violations -- which is why it's not unreasonable to believe Pearl really might not have known what Person was allegedly doing. "

so yes, he has run a clean program which is why he recently got an extension. Innuendo and defamation about someone who hasnt been charged with any wrong doing has no place here, sir.

We may not win, and I love Bruce, but we're gonna make him SWEAT for the W. TBA will be lively...at least worth 7-10 points, in my opinion. If we win, think it will be a full team effort, lead by Fulk and JJJ, with a couple crunch time 3's from Vescovi.

I do not expect barnes to coach here 10 more years in the slightest. I expect he finishes out this latest contract and that will be it. He's already 65, so that gets him to 70, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he retires before that. I agree with your candidates though. We have some pretty solid options.

Biden and Sanders are 77 and 78 respectively.

What is silly about hiring a top coaching candidate with Final Four experience, a love of Tennessee, and recent history of running a clean program?

That you have to ask is concerning enough, but here goes...

Bruce Pearl broke the same rule at Tennessee that he had previously broken at UW-Milwaukee. He then lied about it, and asked the parent of the recruit in question to lie about it, as well. His sudden attack of conscience was only brought on by the revelation that the NCAA already had all the proof they needed to nail him as a repeat offender. After that, he continued his cavalier approach to the NCAA rulebook by impermissably contacting another recruit.

For all of this, he was fired, and he took an enormous dump on his assistant coaches behind closed doors as he negotiated his own $1 million buyout, and did nothing for his assistants who put their careers on the line in an attempt to cover up his mess. The NCAA gave him a 3-yr show-cause penalty.

Auburn hires him, and after some lean years, he makes a breakthrough toward unprecedented success, but amidst that newfound success, he also has to answer questions for the shady character and misdeeds of one of his assistants within the FBI probe, in which, Pearl initially refused to cooperate.

Now, you, the poster and fan, may be able to justify to yourself and explain away his entire career of shady behavior, but if Tennessee's administration were foolish enough to rehire Pearl, and he hasn't learned from his mistakes, well the NCAA isn't going to be so kind to a school administration who was fleeced twice by the same guy who frankly just took a "piss on your rules" approach to the NCAA.

There is just too much coaching talent out there to risk your program's future and livlihood on the back of man who has knowingly screwed Tennessee before and apparently has no concept of the phrase, "If you lie with dogs, you're bound to get fleas." If not willfully reckless, he has certainly shown himself to be grossly negligent and careless with regard to the NCAA rulebook and with the behavior of his assistants.

Simply put, Tennessee cannot afford to stake its reputation on his shady character. They don't need him.

You can't be serious. I loved Bruce.

But...Pearl has had NCAA issues at every stop. The violation that ultimately got the NCAA to investigate UT was also committed at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The very same thing. He then lied and got the show cause. Then, the FBI sting happened with Person. You can try to claim that "he didn't know" but his history of issues does not help him one bit.

To say that he has run a "clean program" is just nonsense...because you don't know that. In fact, Gary Parish always says that he will never tell people that any coach is clean. No one knows, and many times, you will never know that.

well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Pearl got fired from UT and given a harsh sentence for lying. Yeah, it was dumb for him to do. You guys realize there has been a major scandal in the NCAA of paying players, and having other students take classes and forging class results to keep students eligible, all the while, the NCAA refuses to hold schools like UNC accountable for these egregious acts. But yeah, let's not re-hire a brilliant coach who loves UT because of his past and his assistant getting in trouble for his own personal gain and not even the schools.

How do you guys feel about Calipari? Sean Peyton?

One of the most reasonable and informative responses I’ve read on here in a while.

I agree 100%.
