Pearls replacement

I think we'd have a hard time hiring a proven coach if Pearl is let go....Mike Anderson it a top candidate IMO

I don't think we could get him but Jay Wright would be a good pick

We definitely have a program now. Unlike Kiffy, he would be leaving the program in like a billion times better. I hope to God his mistakes are limited but having those recruits at his home then lying about it doesn't look good. I think he needed to come forward with every single thing he knew about even if it meant a serious violation. Now, it looks like he's going to have to have another one of those tearful press conferences. You only get one in your career so we'll see if we grant him another. I really believe there's a chance he's gone after all of this. Back in the day, after violations like this, the coach could stick around. I just don't see it these days.

Also, it would a decline of epic proportions. I mean the guy can coach. He really doesn't need those 5-star guys to win. He's winning with what we have and UT fans are thrilled. But to risk career, probation not to mention $1.5 mil, that's just plain stupid. Where am i going with this you may ask?

I think there is a chance he's gone before the season starts.

How about Jon Gruden? His wife is from Knoxville and he played a little BB in high school.

Unless the NCAA finds something else of major proportions, Pearl isn't going anywhere. Lots of overreaction. I don't want to undermine the gravity of the situation, but Pearl won't be going anywhere with the violations found so far.

Some of you mental midgets need to get through your head that discussing the possiblity of having to get a new coach is just that, a possiblity, and quit with the idiotic "BRUCE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE,YOUR NOT REEL FANS!" crap.

So UGa struck out, Memph struck out, Bama struck out, and Oregon struck out with CMA.

What makes anyone think that UT is what the man has been waiting for all this time??

No reason to think that. But Tennessee >>>>>>>> UGA/Bama/Oregon and still an edge over Memphis.

The only quality job you listed was Memphis. Who wants to live in Memphis or coach in CUSA?

Forget that Oregon has Nike's CEO on their side. Oregon, Georgia and Alabama are crap jobs when it comes to basketball.

Tennessee has become a quality job since Pearl has arrived. Improved facilities and a slew of talent on roster.

Actually, Memphis was left with no talent until Pastner reloaded. There was no guarantee for Anderson he'd pull in that type of talent. Tennessee's roster is a goldmine compared to all of those offers at the time.

But, your forgetting one thing. And please don't crucify me for this because I love both schools, but Mizzou is a better basketball job than UT.

Basketball will always be second fiddle in Knoxville, whereas the two programs are on equal footing in Columbia. Neither program has made the final four, but MU has much more of a history of "almost making it."

CMA loves Columbia too, and his daughter plays in the Big 12.

but he is a great bb coach and deserves a second chance. He has already been flogged and we need to stand up for the man assuming there is nothing further.

LOL at all these top name successful coaches being named. If Bruce is fired we're getting Buzz 2.0. Some guy who will play by the rules and lead us to the 2nd round of the SEC tourney ever year, followed by trips to the NIT. Tyler Summitt will be our starting PF.

We might have to stoop so low to hire a coach from UWm if bruce leaves. We've never had to do that before. Oh wait....

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Brad Stevens turn down a position to a major program with bball history? Wasn't it like Wake Forest or something like that?

On no....they ALL knew Pearl was awesome before he got here. And no one ever finds a second great coach. It just doesn't happen.
