I agree with your list but how many of those realistically would come to UT? If they wouldn't come the list means nothing.

Sean miller and stevens arent even close to as good as pearl. and pearl is beating the above coaches (cept knight) for players like tobias harris, hopson, kenny hall, and other top recruits.

And the other coaches arent coming to tennessee, so keep dreaming fella. Izzo isnt wearing orange anytime soon. none of them would even consider tennessee.

if we got a new coach itd be like the coaches georgia, bama, and SC got recently. just mid major coaches hoping to break in.

Pearl always plays 12 you know that. Even if they arent a good 12, like steven, theyre playing! FRESH LEGS BABY!

Maybe those fresh legs were why the backboard was cracked from some of our shot attempts.

This thread is embarrassing. Bruce Pearl has us consistantly in the Top 20, when we used to only dream of it. Now we want to bury him because of an horrible effort on the west coast? Give me a break. Sometimes I wonder if many of you are teenagers, or Kentucky fans working undercover.

UT played horrible today against USC. Let's fire Bruce Pearl!! Well North Carolina has gotten smoked by Texas and Syacuse, and also lost to Kentucky freshmen. Let's fire Roy Williams!! Lousville got embarrassed by both WESTERN CAROLINA & UNC-CHARLOTTE. Let's fire Rick Pittino!! Florida got smoked by Syracuse, and lost to RICHMOND. Let's fire Billy Donovan!! I could go on... but what's the point. You just don't bring negativity to a program after each loss. Especially a program that is still getting accustomed to annually high expectations, and a Top 10 recruiting class on it's way. Wanna talk about what UT needs to improve? Fine. Wanna talk about firing our coach. No way. :nono:

Merry Christmas bandwagoners.

You know what this basketball team needs?? a big pile of ROD WILKS. The man who gargles peanut butter...

If you don't think a good coach would come here for the $2.6 million we're paying Pearl, YOU are the one out of your mind.

Not a coach better than pearl!

GIVE IT UP! pitino, roy williams, Tom Crean, etc arent coming anytime soon.

Indiana, one of the most storied and successful programs, wish they could have a NCAA tournament team, and their coach is always paid rather closely to what pearls getting. Even with Eric Gordon, they didnt make it to the sweet 16. They havent been there in a long time. They couldnt attract a GREAT coach like pitino, calipari, calhoun, boeheim or self. What makes you think we could?!

Yeah - some people can build programs fast (like Pearl - and quickly reach their max) - while other styles of play require time. KO's style certainly needed more time than he was given... and he didn't inherit Jajuan Smith, CJ Watson, and Chris Lofton.

IF you remember, lofton and jawaun werent all that great before CBP. the stadium had 1500 fans in it... no tourney... then who showed up and turned this average team to a 2 seed? You are so ungrateful!

Speaking of realism, Bruce is a successful coach but he ain't in the same class with the guys you mention.
