Pearl is NOT coming back.

I loved him too but it's not going to happen.

 

[MattR11]

Oh well

 

[Sandvol]

Martin's deal pays out $1.3 million annually and runs through the 2015-16 season. The second-year UT coach earns a $325,000 base salary, $425,000 for broadcast responsibilities, $325,000 for shoe and apparel contracts, and $325,000 for endorsements.

Numerous incentives include $100,000 for winning the SEC regular-season title and $50,0000 for an NCAA tournament berth. Like the salary, the deal's incentives remain unchanged from those in the MOU.

If Martin jumps ship during the next two seasons, he'll owe the university $2.6 million. If he accepts an outside job offer over the final two years of the deal, that number drops to $1.3 million.

The slow starts the past 3 seasons rest on the coach and no one else.

 

[calban]

Can we make the NIT?

 

[BigOrangeD]

Man can we fire Zo and hire another coach already? The people who are calling to hire Bruce pearl back is really making our fan base IQ look low

Yeah. He has a 3 year show cause. We have to wait until the end of the season and then get the Pearl.

 

[Freak]

yes 1.3 mill base... worth it???

Tennessee hired a budget coach. Last I remember, there are only a two or three coaches in the SEC who make less.

To be fair it isn't all coaching. Stokes jacks a shot at the top of the key down by 5. I would like to think you shouldn't have to be told thats a bad shot with 20 seconds on the shot clock.

The coach allows them to continue to make bad decisions and a good example was when Warren took a bad shot Godfrey put him on the bench. CM has to get there and earn the players respect.

The people saying that CCM can coach make our fan base IQ look lower than low.

 

[volinreallife]

I don't believe that's accurate, but maybe I've missed something along the way.

What i find funny is that BTO was in here in the off season saying he deserved a raise.

 

[jp1]

And recruiting

Talent is actually not the probem IMO.

Thanks. So it's $1.3, or $1.45 if he earns the incentives.

:good!:

 

[UTCVol]

Agreed. He's too stubborn to play the style best suited to his personnel. My question is if he wasn't going to change, why did he recruit these types of players?

 

[volatil]

So it's 1.3 there's no incentive this year

 

[volatil]

Hot Seat

budget coach budget results!!!!

NO NCAA tourney appearances

U simpy dont hire someone who has never been there when u went there for 6 years in a row.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Thanks. So it's $1.3, or $1.45 if he earns the incentives.

I want a refund.

 

[jjay2518]

That's what I thought too. I thought with a NCAA tourney appearance he could make $2 mil. He'll never make $2 mil.

Ha, well played.

 

[OrangeAllDay]

Thanks. So it's $1.3, or $1.45 if he earns the incentives.

Definitely not getting his incentives this year

My Grandfather always said...

Pay $#!t, get $#!t

lol

and where is he now

where is his defense of ccm

 

[InVOLuntary]

Well excuse me..(Steve Martin style). Regardless he ain't worth his base. His coaching is pathetic.

 

[kw7pd4]

Will really be interesting to hear what CCM says in the post game. If I can hear him that is.
