We absolutely need to fire this coaching staff and start over again. That's the way to have an elite program. Change coaching staffs every 3-4 years. It's the coaching staffs fault we have been destroyed by injuries. Despite all the praise the Shoop hire received, he is obviously a terrible D.C.

With the offensive line play today, no offense would work. Injuries and playing a great front seven was the problem today. You can't run or throw if you can't block anyone.

When I go to this weeks picks, I can only get last weeks picks. Also, I was listed with 8 correct last week when I actually got 9 correct.

Shocking that he was fired from a mid-major when he was soo close to being great at UT. If he had just had one more year, he had great recruits coming in.:)

I certainly hope he's too busy coaching this team to have time to keep up with media discussion regarding his job security.

We haven't been this much better than any team we've played. Give the team credit for turning things around. I don't know how we will do in the tournament, but they have played great basketball the last three games. Continue with this level of play and we can absolutely beat Florida.

5k will be more like it.:)

Interesting question. I don't think any of the previous staff could return. Who he could hire should be a matter of discussion if UT was actually having a discussion with him about returning.

Would you expect him to say anything different?

Yes I did and you have absolutely no proof of any wrong doing with Smith.

Is it a valuable enough lesson to result in a re-hiring of Pearl.? I hope so, but doubt it.

Ramar Smith was not part of the conversation and Ramar Smith was not part of the investigation or allegation of cheating. Changing the subject is a good tactic when you are losing an argument.

I consider cheating to win as buying players, altering transcripts to get them in school, changing grades to keep them eligible, etc. All the BBQ was was a minor infraction that likely occurs at most all schools. That, alone, would have not resulted in a whimper by the NCAA and it is now legal.

Having some kids at a BBQ is not exactly my idea of an effort to cheat to win.

I agree. The NCAA wanted Pearl fired and UT was so afraid of possible sanctions that they obliged.
