Wonder what Bruce Pearl thinks of this?

[transammann]

Am I going to be treated like this after years and years of service..if I have one of the top winning percentage in the NCAA? And just won the East last year?

 

[hatvol96]

Bruce Pearl thinks that, if he goes 10 years without winning an SEC basketball title, he should be fired.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

Bruce knows this is a business.

I bet Pearl understands 10 years of mediocrity warrants dismissal.

I just saw him on Channel 10, and he said he knows his popularity will wax and wane depending on his up and down years..............he knows winning is important, and if he doesn't win as much in some years, he will be less popular. Sharp guy.

It is called commen sense! 10 years of piss poor results will get you no where!

Years and Years of service does not warrant blind devotion.

I doubt that he has any problem whatsoever with dismissing an incompetent coach, but if he does, then he should follow Fulmer and company out the door.

Phil???, John???

Nice try. Nice comparison. You're overlooking the fact that Bruce Pearl has resurrected a mediocre aspect of UT sports, and Fulmer has created one.

Thanks for stopping by.

I couldn't give a crap where we're ranked on that list. Hasn't translated into any freakin' banners or trophies.

Another nice try.

But check out his record against (a) SEC opponents, (b) SEC East opponents, (c) Top 10 opponents, (d) bowl record, and (e) -vs- Meyer, Richt, and Saban in that same span.

Hint: The percentage will be much, much lower.

If we're going to compete in the SEC, we need to win in the SEC. Use the right numbers to make your argument.

BINGO! :good!:

 

[transammann]

He is not my hero

Im just saying we could end up like Bama did

10+ years of this coach and that coach and I DONT WANT THAT!

 

[MphsBlues]

If we are able to retain Pearl for 10 years I'll thank my lucky stars.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Bama was a rare, rare, rare situation. They just got screwed on several occasions. That's not what normally happens.

You could get hit by a truck tomorrow. Will that risk keep you from going outside?

Well, you are defending him.

You posted your numbers, and we posted ours.

Hint II: If you have to defend your argument, perhaps it wasn't a good argument to start with.

go vols.

I guess Nebraska is rare also

The difference between Fulmer and Pearl are very clear. One can recruit, make changes during a game, challenge players to step it up, inforce desclipine, true grit and determination to be a winner. The other hangs is head on the sideline, claps his hand and pats the player who messed up then on Sundays say: We are going to work like heck to fix that dagnabbit. One is a coach the other is Elmer Fudd

 

[ZZ13]

Be sure and post your little list at the end of this season when '98 is replaced by '08 in the 10 year measure. See how that treats your hero.

Best case at 8-5, about 69% (17th-ish)
Worst case at 3-9, about 66% (22nd-ish)

Number of conference titles: 0% (tied for dead last)

 

[Bassmanbruno]

I guess Nebraska is rare also

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Not even close to the same circumstances. Good try though.

If the AD here is dumb enough to hire someone the likes of Bill Callahan then Tennessee deserves what it gets.
