Whether its Tennessee or somewhere else, Pearl will come back stronger than ever.

I think CarrytheFight will be the first user I use the ignore button on. He makes me want to punch a baby in the face or kick a kitten.

There's a pretty standard template for the way that shame usually plays out in American sports. First the disgraced person disappears for a year. Then he shows up on ESPN for awhile. Then he takes a low-level job for awhile, has some success, and only THEN is he considered rehabilitated enough for a high-profile job again. I can completely see Auburn or somebody being willing to hire him, but he's going to have to go through the shame cycle first.

Pearl's about to turn 51. If he can't figure out a way to keep this Tennessee job, he's going to lose a giant chunk of the decent working years he has left while in exile. By the time he works his way back up to an Auburn-type job, he'd be 57 or 58. I can easily see him getting very comfortable in an ESPN-type gig (where he'd be very good, obviously) and just settling into that instead.

Given how's it played out recently, he'll wind up at a CUSA school in 6-8 years.

Yet only one conference title.

So now we expect our basketball coach to win the SEC 1/3 of the time or more? Surely not. He certainly hasn't been here long enough to start complaining about the lack of conference titles. 1 is certainly a reasonable amount at this point in his tenure. If that is the central point of your argument as to why he isn't a good coach, you FAIL.

If you can find where I said BP isn't a good coach I'll give you $200.

One of them doesn't constitute a coach being considered elite. There's a list of shoddy coaches with an Elite Eight in their resume.

I dont care if they fire him or not but to say that he is a marginal coach is just ignorant.
