If they offer him a lot more money, he will consider it. Which they will if they offer him the job.
All the more reason he should make more then Fulmer and Pat Summit.
I have no problems with him making more than fulmer. IMO fulmer doesnt deserve what he is making now.
Pat summit though is another story. She has more wins than any other basketball coach mens or womens. Her teams win and often win big. I do realize that mens basketball brings in more revenue than womens so pearl will likely get paid more. However if we are just talking about who deserves it thats different.
You never know..we all might get tired of making it to the sweet sixteen and losing.Lets just hope it never gets to that point.Pearl isn't going anywhere. He loves UT and the only place we have to worry about him going is BC.
I just hope we never get to the point we are at with Fulmer with Pearl. He is starting to set the standards higher and higher in basketball and like we always do as Vol fans we start to expect it rather than respect it.
IMO the market should drive coaches salaries. There are schools that will pay Pearl more then what he makes now at Tennessee, there aren't any that will pay Coach Summit what Tennessee pays her IMO.
From what I've read, women's BB doesn't make money for the Athletic Department. It's partly funded by the men's BB and FB programs.
