People want to pretend that Slive had it out for Pearl, but the reality is that Slive and Pearl are old associates from their pre SEC days.

Slive tried to save Pearl. He went to bat for Pearl in Atlanta at the SEC tourney. Slive wouldn't have blocked anyone from pursuing Pearl including Tennessee.

If Cuonzo is lured away from TBA (for money, for the petition, whatever floats your boat) is the $5M buyout for Bruce Pearl the best money Hart could spend at this time?

Here's the rub though: paying the Auburn buyout would simultaneously be the best move the AD could make if Cuonzo finds greener pastures and also demonstrate his colossal incompetence (for those not already aware).

I think it highly likely Hart never approached BP with a "Don't be too quick to take something; you're in our thoughts. See how it plays out first." If Hart keeps his options open, if he defies Jimmy the Cheek, if he was working to advance UT athletics, it is possible we could have Bruce Pearl ready to fill the (potential) void.

Dave "sit on hands" Hart though has, once again, sat on his hands. If Cuonzo leaves, Hart has already failed (again).

No it would be the most stupid thing a AD has ever done. If he wants to give up 5 million he needs to go out and get a coach that has actually won something

Dave Hart was NEVER going to hire Pearl back. Cheek is going to do everything he can to force Hart into living on the cheap If CCM was to leave. Cheek hates sports and has robbed the AD of millions since he has been here and will continue to do so as long as they leave him in place.

Pearl, that lying carnival clown who tried to get a kid and his family to lie for him, who included his staff in the lie, will NEVER EVER coach at Tennessee again. He brought shame, not just on himself, but on those around him, on the university, and on the state.

This is a really stupid thread, and those who keep harping BBB or whatever are just jumping on a crazy train.

No, Bruce Pearl will not ever be a Volunteer basketball coach again.

What proof do you have that Cheek hates sports? If any.
