Why do people not understand Pearl is damaged goods now? He'd be the easiest negative recruiting target in the country. That alone will keep him from ever again getting a job half as good as the one he screwed himself out of because he thought he could pull a fast one on the NCAA.

Who cares about the negative recruiting. Pearl will still be able to sell energy, passion, and a family atmosphere (to include BBQs at the Pearl Place).

But in all honesty, that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Look at USC. Surely Kiffin and his boyfriend Eddie O have to answer questions about how dirty they are, at every home they enter. But they still bring in top talent.

When have Kiffin and O ever been hit with a show-cause?

They were one of the examples that lead the NCAA to start levying penalties against coaches, not just teams. Because of the outrage of many, on how Kiffin raked up a billion violations and then hit the road.

To act like people don't negative recruit USC about the number of violations and overall unethical conduct of Kiffin and O, is insane.

Do you all think the selection committee would have put us in if CBP had coached this team to the same record but the BBQ had never happened? Everyone loved Pearl....Even the selection committee. What do you all think?

Face it guys.. Fans will not stop begging for Pearl back until we either have decent success with CCM, or he gets another coaching job. Even then fans will still want him back, so you better get used to the Pearl buzz.

To the fans that want Pearl back it is because he is like the hot girl that broke up with them over the phone and not in person. They didn't want it to end and they can't realize the ship has sailed. Sad really!!

They want him back because the majority are Pearl fans first, basketball bandwagoner second. It was impossible for us to keep Pearl. It's impossible for us to ever hire Pearl again. If you can't understand that then you should probably stick to talking about football.

I've long since gotten used to being in a fanbase in which 80% of the constituents are idiots.

We phoned it in the last half of the MSU game. Nessler and Dykes even commented how that didn't bode well for our game against bama. Lo and behold - except for the first 7-8 minutes, we didn't muster much intensity for arguably our biggest game of the season.

Is it idiocy to reminisce about 6 for 6, championships, rankings, and a climb to #1? Then count me in as a dim-bulb who appreciated the fun times under BP and is frustated with some aspects of his successor's current tenure. And if avoiding any semblance of frustration over CCM's body of work makes you smart...well, we know who the smart fellers are. heh

Yup. Possible Pastner replacement if he bolts for USC?

What I want to know is, how long is Texas gonna keep rolling with Rick Barnes? Vol fans IMO have too high of expectations for their programs. But Texas has been relevant before. Look at how long of a leash this guy has had.
