Yes, that year was eerily similar to Pearl's 3rd year. Remember getting run out of the gym by Auburn and Ole Miss? Remember in 2000 when Green beat the defending National Champion, UCONN, to make it into the Sweet 16?

Only to totally get outcoached and blow a large lead in the final minutes and lose to a mediocre North Carolina team.

Classic Uncle Jed.

By the way, if this is true, we are screwed in a big way for at least the present time. This will throw a potentially promising season into disarray, plus it's October and possibly losing a coach. $2 million or not, we're not getting anyone of note now and would have to hire an interim coach or a lower level guy for the time being. Furthermore, I'm not sure who that interim would be if the assistants are all implicated.

If Pearl is fired, it would leave this entire athletic program at the lowest point I can ever remember in my life, just an utter and complete mess.

I don't think Green was that good either. The point is, Pearl's resume compared to his at UT is only separated by winning one game in the 'AAs. Other people can win here besides Pearl.

I honestly have no clue who the interim could be.

Of course, this is assuming that Pearl's assistants are done as well.

100% The Truth. To state otherwise is to posit your mental deficiency for everyone else to see.

Per TOS

Bruce Pearl, 4 loads of cops, three large trash bags and illegal black market bronzer.

You put the pieces together.

No, it's quite a bit more than one game. In fact, I still think that Green had more talent than Pearl did and did considerably less with it.

Pearl has a better winning percentage. As far as accomplishments, there's very little difference. And yes, undoubtedly, Pearl is the better coach. The point I'm making is that it's possible for someone not named Bruce Pearl to win here.

Do you think we will actually be able to get a winner here fast? I'm a bit weary after the hiring of Dooley....IDK.

And none of this is Pearl's own fault. We are victims!

Fast, as in a week from now? Not a chance in Hell.

Fast, as in the next offseason? Sure, it's possible. You've got an entire year to see who's going to be available and who you can and want to offer the job to.

Well, I still disagree with the Green point, but I do agree with the other coaches part. However, no one else has been winning here for roughly two decades, so it's certainly reasonable for people to be apprehensive about losing the one who has brought this program success. And, that success won't come anytime soon if we're firing a coach in October because of coming NCAA violations.
