The cumulative Pearl thread

[gorockytop101]

I want him back. We'll see how he does after a couple of more years then re-evaluate.

This is the approach we took with Fulmer, and it set our program back 3-5 years.

I think Pearl has shown that he can't build a consistently elite program. Add this to the fact that he has already damaged our future, and I think the choice is easy.

Is it because of this incident or have you grown tired of him or have you always not wanted him?

I haven't liked Pearl for about 3 years now.

The incident.

I think it's easier for a coach to learn the NCAA rules then to learn how to coach and recruit. I think Pearl won't make these mistakes again if stays at UT. :twocents:

I was a Pearl supporter for the longest time. I still think he is a good coach and great salesman.

Before all of this 'AA mess he was a great ambassador for The University of Tennessee. Now he has brought shame to himself and the univeristy. He got caught in a lie and had a tearful presser where he came off a truly remorseful. I still supported and defended him.

When the redacted LOI came out and it revealed yet another violation, a mere 4 days after said press conference, is when he lost my support and sympathy. Completely.

Without the incident, I still would have had hope for the future.

I'd say there are plenty of 2 million dollar coaches who already know how to coach and recruit better than BP does.

Yea Pearl cant recruit:lolabove:

Both. Incident + replaceability. For 2 mil, we can get a coach that doesn't lie to the NCAA and won't be terrible at recruiting PGs or designing an offensive system.

When's the last time we had a good point guard?

Fixed.

The issue with Bruce is NOTHING like with Phillip. Phillip needed to be gone from a performance standpoint. Bruce's ethics are why he needs to step down

Maze came on at the end of the season and Ramar had his moments but we may go back to Bruce's first season to find a consistent one

 

[shortgameVol]

I voted no, but it's not because of any performance issues. If he had just told the NCAA, "yes", when asked the BBQ, this thread wouldn't exist.

The incident. I've had issues with his coaching but nothing that would rise to the level of wanting him terminated because of it.

You've been satisfied with the recruiting of Bruce and the performance of his teams?

Remind me how many of his recruits are in the Association right now.

He's certainly got some coaching flaws, but no one would be talking about him being terminated had it not been for this fiasco.

Not really, we just slowed the team down and he shot a lot of FTs. Ramar got replaced by a 6'7 scorer and none of these three people were particularly good passers at all.

If Pearl were coming back next year (without the sanctions), would we have a top-25 team?

That would depend on whether Hopson and Harris return.

So not sending players to league means he cannot recruit......:unsure:

 

[shortgameVol]

Not completely satisfied, but that doesn't mean he should be fired. It would have been almost impossible to fire him for performance issues.

Some quick advice for you from Bobby Knight: "When you start taking advice from the fans, you will soon be one of them" Fits a number of "expert" posters in this forum

Either way you spin it, it's not good for Pearl.

 

[Mullins2010]

If both hoson and harris came back and add jones to the mix..we for sure would be good
