Pearl to Iowa??

Wow, the who ya gunna get, huh?

I'm pretty sure if Iowa offered Pearl close to 3 Mil we could find a coach at that price that could get an SEC Title every five years and make a few Sweet 16 appearances.

Wow, the you're a jerk huh?

I'm pretty sure Tennessee would pay 3 million for an unproven coach at a smaller school. Kind of like they did the first time when they got Pearl from UWM. Georgia and Bama dished out some money. Look who they got. That's not to say those coaches won't be good because it looks like they are on the right track but if you think Tennessee is luring a proven coach from a basketball school... pass the joint.
 
Lickliter is gone. Not officially, but it's a done deal. There was a report yesterday from an Iowa radio station that said he was resigning due to health reasons. Then, after they got beat down by Michigan yesterday, he said his health is fine and it's up to the athletic director.

He won't resign because he wants his buyout. But he will be fired soon. Barta met with each player individually last week. It could happen this weekend but probably not until Tuesday. It won't happen Monday because that is when the women's NCAA tourney selection is announced. The Iowa women will make it so that would be a poor PR move by Barta.
 
Pearl has been coaching against Cal yearly for five seasons now. How many times has he gone deeper into the NCAA Tournament? The amount of blind faith you people have in Pearl is North Korean in its delusion. You and your ilk continue to act as if wins in January and February are the barometer of success. It's the same mentality the orange overall crowd had about "10 win seasons" that kept Fulmer antiquated ass employed three seasons past any usefulness.

What do you mean? We're a number one seed because we beat Kansas and Kentucky in January/February :crazy:
 
Who?

Homes and land may down in market value but coaches and athletes are sky high right now. I'm not much of a gambler. I don't want to let Pearl walk for someone else who might not pan out. Pearl has done a lot of damage in the SEC. Good enough for me.
I'm glad to see one of the Pearl Slurpers finally admit their mentality. "It doesn't matter what we do in games everyone in college basketball knows are the ones that matter, as long as we win some games we can jump up and down about in January and February, we're thrilled. We have no expectatio of actual success."

Yep. Watching kids play sports isn't my life so that makes me a horrible or crappy fan. Either or works. I'll be that loser. The one that isn't completely bitter based on the short comings of college kids playing a game. Tough bullet to swallow but I think I'll manage.

Why would UT have to pay an unproven coach 3 Mil? They paid Bruce nowhere close to 3 Mil when he came to UT.

Bama and Georgia got very,very good coaches.

UT has proven over five years that fans will support a winner, we have as good of an arena as there is and we are not rebuilding... give Pearl credit for raising the profile of the job.

If Bruce left for Iowa it would have to be for something in the 3 Mil range; UT would have no problem finding a coach who could get to the Sweet 16 for 3 million.

I doubt it. Given the quality of both the reasoning and the writing of your posts, I'd guess the rest of us will be paying for your upkeep at some point.

Jerry Green wants to know why UT wasn't paying 3 mil for Sweet 16s in his day.

Yeah, Iowa would be lucky to hire an obese, charisma free slob who isn't even the best of Tennessee's three nothing happening assistants. That's a recipe for success.

Rip on the head coach, rip on the players, might as well go after the assistants now. Hey, Iowa could hire you? Oh never mind the State has already filled its quota of immature douchebags.

You've made it pretty clear how limited your knowledge is of the coaching staff at UT, I'm sorry they won't let you in the door but time to buck up and deal with it instead of attacking anonymously.

Chism is the only real recruit to play 4 years under Pearl.. I believe. Most coaches can't recruit as well as Pearl let alone overcome all of the losses. Ramar and Duke would change a lot if they were on the court. They'd be seniors. That's just two people based off potential. This team would be even more scary with Tyler Smith still on the roster. It's hard to base what Pearl has done when you look at all the losses.

I am fully expecting a speech or argument against Bruce Pearl saying he recruited the kids now. Key word, kids.

Yeah, my knowledge is really limited. All the big time jobs Superfly, Fat Bastard, and Shaymale have had show what hot commodities they are. Good to see I struck a nerve Now I know which piece oof garbage you are really here shilling for.

Given the self satisfaction you gain from doing nothing on this message board 24/7, I'd guess you'll end up alone in a retirement home.

What door are you talking about? I've never made any attempt to associate with that staff and I never will. I keep much better company than the likes of them.

Hat can defend himself, but you really don't know what you are talking about.

I don't understand what that has to do with what we are talking about.

There are many, many coaches out there who can recruit better PG's than Pearl.

Pearl has done a good job, but he's not worth 3 Mil.
 
Hat can defend himself, but you really don't know what you are talking about.

Oh believe me, I most certainly do. I would be willing to bet with 100% certainty I know more of what's going on with that staff than the child that posts here.
 
Thus continuing your streak of awful guesses.

Right or wrong, I don't care about your life. This wouldn't even be a part of the discussion if you weren't so quick to attack other peoples lives first. Starting to think there is something wrong with you mentally. You're like the biggest nerd ever in school and now you're out to attack people behind a computer. I'm glad you think that makes you special though. You're truly special. I'll be the first to admit.

Pearl has done a good job, but he's not worth 3 Mil.

Ramar Smith has a lot to do with it. He was a 5* recruit that played point guard. He'd be a senior now. Tennessee is working with two juco point guards because of it.
 
Well, I'm off to watch the game. I'm sure I'll miss out on some witty responses.... I'm just a loser running away.

Enjoy the game.

Hat, for the most part, has laid out who he is on here and what he does. He's not hidden much.

All I know about you is you are a guy who loves Pearl and for the most part has an ego the size of Texas.

Lay it out who you are if you are such an insider. There's a whole lot of people who pretend to be what you say you are.

Since you're obviously President of the Steve Forbes Fan Club, I'd hope so. You're like most of the people stupid enough to believe in those charlatians. If they say it, it must be true. You'd have made a great Nazi.
