Look at our past man! Tennessee is not a basketball school. Bruce came in and has built Tennessee to a respectable program. He got T. Harris to come here out of Syracuse country. He got Hopson to come here from Kentucky. It's not easy to get players to come here in a football dominated school. We've went deeper in the NCAA tourney with Bruce than ever before. What's wrong with using JC point guards? I bet you thought Bruce was awesome back when we beat Pitt and Nova.
lol. Hilarious. I can't stop laughing.
And Kentucky gave us Scotty Hopson btw without fight - but you probably don't pay attention to basketball outside of game days to actually know that.
Good point. Ohio St. and Texas are doing just awful in basketball right now.
And they do it every year too don't they. Wasn't Tennessee like one shot away last year from being in the final four? C'mon guys, we can't win all the time. If we have two years in a row where we just stink it up and totally suck then yeah get rid of him.
Even Jerry Green went to four straight NCAA tourneys at UT.k:I know right now is not the best time, because we just lost a game that in all honesty we should have won. However, for all you calling for coach Pearl's head I think you have forgotten our past and really our present. Think of where we were before he arrived and better yet think of who would replace him. Do you really think we will get anyone better? I love the Vols but the fact is were not a basketball destination for top coaches. Are there better coaches than CBP? Sure there are, but how many of them are going to come here? Just something to think about.

You made the point that we are a football school and can't succeed in basketball because of that fact to which I countered with two schools who are primarily football schools yet have had and are having great success in basketball. Your argument is extremely weak.
I never said we couldn't succeed. I just made the point that historically we are known as a football school. I was trying to point out that we don't have great tradition like Kentucky, Duke, UNC, or so many others. Looking at the time that Bruce has been here our record has been better in that stretch than most would have thought possible. It's hard to argue with you don't read carefully.
