Pearl Has Zero Credibility Now

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.
There was so much thought put into this post that I just don't think anyone could logically respond to it.

I see you went with #3 on the Predictable Response list. Or check that...you actually combined #2 and #3.
 
Lying is the issue here MHF. We could all accept too many phone calls or text messages unless it was a wide-spread practice, but lying under oath to the NCAA is too much to simply write off as not serious. As a proclaimed attorney, you should be aware of this.

I suppose you are not an attorney so I should not laugh too hard...

Under oath...hahahhah....unlike Bill Clinton he was not under oath, and not guilty of perjury.

No I am not an attorney. However, an attorney that I have great respect for, having spent many years in the court system advised me today that individuals that respond to NCAA inquiry are, in fact, placed under oath to tell the truth. Like most every thing else, I'm sure you know more about the procedure than anyone.
 
I remain skeptical of this.
Are you skeptical that Fulmer never had to have a press conference and admit lying to the NCAA and never had an official inquiry of his program.* I, in no way am trying to defend Fulmer, but this every one does it is getting ridiculous.
 
More speculation from you... surprising.

Exactly how did he know the NCAA was going to say he was lying? Did he somehow ease in on a conversation?

Since we're speculating, I believe he realized that he made a minor problem that would've resulted in only a slap on the hand into a major problem by lying and thus admitted it.

Is it speculating that he said his conscience got to him after two years of knowing cheating, that he thinks was to give an advantage in recruiting and he suddenly was conscience stricken after two years. Give me a break. The official letter of inquiry let him know that his lies were not accepted by the NCAA and he suddenly decided to come clean to try to keep his job. After all, he loves UT and wants to coach there the rest of his life---not unlike anyone else would want him now.
 
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.

Drama queen.

Lawyers are the biggest snakes on the planet. I'm only assuming you are one.
 
Yes, it is clearly being a drama queen to state the facts of the situation. You folks that try to justify anything simply make me sick.

What's the difference between Bruce Pearl and a lawyer? Pearl admits it when he lies. :birgits_giggle:
 
Don't approve of what he did. Do approve of how he is handling it. He has no history of poor judgment at this level so how about a little grace and mercy. Let's see, The person without sin can cast the first stone...

Are you incompetent? Let me write it in all caps: HE CAME CLEAN BEFORE THE INQUIRY!!

So any judge, jury member, parent, teacher, or employer must be sinless (perfect) before having the right to enforce punishments for a transgression? :unsure:

Here is my problem with the fanbase as a whole. Posters will pick person A or person B and take the argument of whichever side it benefits. I have seen countless "Kiffin was going to get us in trouble with his doings" because they are still butthurt over leaving for his destination job yet the same people that yell cheater come to the defense of Pearl because he admitted he lied because he was backed into a corner? Really?

It just reeks of hypocrisy and playing favorites. It's ironic we call ESPN bias against us when we can't even step away from our orange glasses and give a unbiased view of a situation.Im not anti-Bruce, he messed up and has a chance to redeem himself, but this whole shoving it under the rug minutes after the fire alarm went off just makes alot of you look weaksauce.

Don't leave out the kiffin lovers and Bruce haters hypocrisy.

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.

Good points. Human nature (fallen) is reflected in the little ole lady at church who looks down here nose at the pregnant unwed teen, all while she and others know of her own sexual fantasies and promiscuity. Something frustrated deep within us gives cause to these dramatic outbursts of self-righteous shame. All MHO. :cray:

Wow. Now that's some reality.:good!:
 
i have never heard of coaches beig paid less money. and i am a fan of all our sports. just disappointed with this cheating. how can pat summit recruit top players for 30 yrs and not get busted or phil for 17 yrs. because they did it the old fashion right way. no razzle dazzle like kiffin and pearl. i am starting to believe only a home grown tennesean cn really sell a kid on the right reasons to come here. not just the con artist tactics of a young ounk and car sallesman crap of pearl. they went way overboard to fit in at first and now look. this makes me like dooley more. he just wants to do a great job and be himself.

Fulmer may have never got caught but trust me he had a lot of shady tactics whether you want to believe it or not.

Dude! Lighten the **** up!

To even mention Pearl and Calimari in the same breath is beyond the pale. Calimari is a con artist who stretches, pulls and bends every rule in the book. Two, count 'em, TWO universities with sanctions so bad they had to forfeit Final Fours. He's deep in the sheets with the scummiest bball pimps ("Phone call for World Wide Wes!"). He's so oily when planting $$$ in the eyes of these kids he makes the BP board of directors looks like Mormons. And, if you honestly believe he was an innocent bystander/victim when Derek "Pay no attention to that blond hair" Rose "took" his SAT, then, baby, do I have a land deal for you!!

Oh course, the icing on the Calimari cake is when he pulls a George Costanza and knocks women, children, etc. out of the way as he bolts out the door just before the NCAA delivers its special FTD bouquet.

Meanwhile ... Bruce and company -->> QUICK! Hide the children! -->> Made too many phone calls to some home run recruits he was trying to land.

Oh, the shame! The humiliation! How will we ever show our faces in public again?!!

Was he wrong? Yes. Was he unethical in lying about the phone calls to the NCAA? Of course. Punishment is certainly warranted.

BUT ... To equate PHONE CALLS with the sleazy crap Calimari pulls on a daily basis is ludicrous!

So ... To all the Bruce-haters, KY (jelly) fans, gloom 'n doomers, and everyone else who is screaming for Hamilton to line the doorway into Bruce's office with banana peels, I have a request so simple even you will understand it:

SHUT UP!

Do all of us a favor, draw the curtains in your glass houses, replace your heads in your :shaking2: where they typically reside, and log onto Ebay in the hope of buying yourself a life.

Bruce may have screwed the pooch on this one, but he admitted it publicly, and he's staying to accept his punishment like a man. He didn't jump ship, and in a relatively short time, he managed to tranfuse his blood for a grade that has a distinctly citrus hue.

And, when the alligator shoe drops at Rupp? (And, it will. It's just a matter of time.) Do yourself a favor and make sure you aren't standing anywhere near an exit door, 'cause the Calimari express will be a comin' through!
 
It just goes to show you that you can't turn a horrible program around instantly without cheating. unc football, ut basketball, etc. it takes at least 3 years of recruting to get that thing turned around.
