I like Bruce Pearl, he is a dang good coach. I never said he wasn’t better than Barnes. What I said though was he has the same amount of FF appearances and never brought one to TN. Nor will he ever since he screwed that pooch by getting a show cause while here.
Like it or not, Pearl did more harm than good to this program. Brought us to the limelight, then right back to darkness. Rock bottom was Tyndall. Barnes at least has us back in the right direction. Maybe when he retires this admin will get us a coach that is top tier.
