Pearl Has Zero Credibility Now

a little over the edge dont you think??? i seriously dont think its going to overshadow his accomplishments.. he has done great things for this university and the program you have to look at the big picture... accomplishments outweigh this mistake by quiet a bit

I have a feeling this is just going to get worse. I respect your opinion, but I think this is going to define Pearl's tenure at Tennessee. I honestly hope that's not the case.
 
Pretty sure it's a safe bet that the NCAA will have their say in this matter with Pearl....while they will appreciate the effort by the UT admistration, in no way will this ease their pain for Pearl's lies to the NCAA during their inquiries.

Gonna be a load of hurt applied on top of the self imposed scantions...IMHO.
 
I was and saw it. At least Failmer wasn't getting us drilled with NCAA violations. That's about the only positive thing I can say about him. Also, nice to see a fellow Scott Countian on here.

maybe, not violations but it's not called the "Fulmer Cup" for nothing
 
Yes it sucks we got caught. There is a huge difference between making extra phone calls and giving a kid cash and committing academic fraud. Yes Pearl screwed up, but your a loon if you think he should be fired over this.

This incident is along the lines of what Kelvin Sampson did. It got him fired and banned from coaching NCAA ball for 5 years or so. This is a bigger deal than most people's orange sunglasses are allowing them to see.

Sampson also did this multiple years
 
A thought....it would be a shame if the AA comes back and says, well, while we are concerned about the coaches actions, we were going to just give him a stern warning....but hey, we can accept the self imposed scantions set by UT...harsh but we will go with those.

Ouch!
 
The very nature of this thread is laughable in every sense of the word, the OP doesn't have a clue what he is talking about.

To act as if Pearl is leading the University into the sh%tter is moronic.

I guess he ( and anyone else who shares his line of thinking ) thinks that there are a bunch of choir boys walking around. Recruiting is a nasty business and everyone toes the line and everyone steps across it.

Now with that said, what Pearl and his staff did is dumb, they should have been upfront when asked about it.

But to pretend like he is the scum of the Earth for it is crazy, an obvious agenda.

No chance, probably more to come.
 
Bruce Pearl and his staff have no credibility whatsoever. The accomplishments that they attained, though great, have now been completely overshadowed by this recent event. As an alum, it makes me sick to think about how he has disgraced our University, our Athletic department, and the athletes he has on this current team.

All of you that ***** and whine about Calipari can now shut up. The fact is, we were cheating and trying to cover it up. This makes Pearl no better than anything anyone has accused Cal of doing.

In my opinion, Pearl should be on very, very shaky ground. Any misstep now should result in his termination. And I wouldn't be too upset if he was terminated as a result of this. This is truly sickening and sad day for UT athletics.

Very well stated. I think the honorable thing would be for Pearl to step aside if Hamilton doesn't have the ***** to fire him. While he's at it, perhaps Hamilton should also step aside. Thanks to his decisions, both the basketball and football programs are now in shambles.

My wife swears that MIDOL is fantastic during that time of the month (SERIOUS)
 
not a big fan of the new self-righteousness on this board.

Did someone really say this was 'sickening'? And then did someone quote that just to put 'very'?

Nothing worse than hyperbole mixed with moral indignation.

That is dangerous thinking around here...I could not agree more.
 
I'm not a Pearl fan, never have been since I worked with him in Milwaukee. You can check my old post and see that I've said he was a snake since the beginning, so I don't want to hear that I'm jumping on the bash Pearl bandwagon. However, I can't take away from the winning and excitement he's brought to TN bball. Sometimes you get what you pay for and Hammy hired Kiffin and Pearl and both have the NCAA peeking in our windows and knocking on our doors, so I say off with Hamilton's head and keep close tabs on Bruce. I would dare say that the majority of coaches make "illegal" phone calls, but lying to the NCAA is gonna come back and bite us hard.......both the fball and bball programs are on shaky ground and for good reason.

This about sums up my thoughts.

Yup.

That was me, the very part anyway. And I for years have sworn we were better than Bama football and UK bball fans. Turns out we aren't. As long as you win, who cares, right?

Sorry. I find that sickening. Very sickening actually.

Personally I don't think there's anything worse than lying to cover your tracks, but that's just me. And it's followed seconds by idiots who speak without being for sure about what they are talking about.

I gave up that notion a long time. Some of the reactions on here just proves how much alike we are.

I'm not a Pearlite by any stretch but a lot of coaches that have violated NCAA rules still have credibility or regain it once the air has had time to clear.

I at least hoped somewhere deep down that we weren't even though I knew otherwise. This has pretty much proven it.

It's more a less a said indicator of society that every school would be like this.
 
Hey guys, all you goofballs talking about how Pearl is disgracing the university, the lane train left for usc last year, I think you missed your trip.

Oh. If you think this looks awful you should root for someone else. Very original and equally well reasoned.
