I live in the heart of BBN, unfortunately. I can count on one hand the total amount of Vol fans I know, the rest are UK fans. Family, friends, co-workers, etc...So I'm going to give you my perspective and tell you the things I'm hearing. Two question I always hear are...
1. Who is your coach?" I hear this so many times because they honestly never heard of who our coach is. These are common fans btw. When CBP was here I never heard this question once. Why? Because he let the nation know about the big orange and he promoted us.
2. "Is UT going to be any good this year and will they make the tourney? Again I'd never hear this back when CBP was coaching because UK fans already knew that the Vols were going to be battling head to head to win the East and knew that the Vols were going to be in the tourney.
So I have asked around my friends and family and even posted the question on Facebook...Would it be crazy for UT to hire back Pearl.
"No, he was a good coach for sure"
"No, I honestly liked Pearl"
"I'd love to see him back he's hard to dislike"
"I want someone else to be competitive in the SEC again besides Florida so if UT doesn't I hope someone else in the SEC does"
"He's a likeable villain to the Cats and always had them ranked, but we (UK) did own him, so I'd like to see him back coaching for Tennessee"
"He's a sleeze ball lair, but a good coach"
(I simply said look at your coach lol)
"It's a no brainer, why wouldn't they hire him back?"
All of these quotes are from UK fans I know. I will edit this post and post more quotes when I get them from the Facebook question I asked.
