Paint the rock. It would be on ESPN like many other times before. It just so happens that our beloved Bruce works for ESPN, surely they would allow him to comment on it.

Yeah, my roofers brother in law twice removed on his mother's side knows a member of Pearl's family because they pick up the family laundry at the dry cleaners once a week says Pearl definitely wants to come back.

I had dinner with Coach Pearl recently. He has already accepted the coach in waiting job at Duke. Kentucky and Kansas. He isn't coming back. But he did tell me that Dooley might try his hand at basketball coaching. So there you go. The truth is out.

You spelled Gruden wrong

Not going to the games sends a message you are unhappy with CM, but does nothing to show support for Pearl.

The big money donors, the Haslam family (including the governor), and other power brokers need to be lobbied/convinced to bring back Pearl, assuming he would agree to return. If the power brokers are convinced, then Cheek and other barriers would have to fall in line; and pursue Pearl, once CM is fired, which is looking like the end of the regular season when he unfortunately fails again to make the NCAA tourney.

UT is one of the 10 wealthiest athletic departments in collegiate sports. They could afford it if they wanted. Plus, Haslam, Thornton and other boosters could stroke the necessary checks without blinking an eye. I am so tired of us shopping for Rolexes at Wal-Mart.

Problem is, Butt Cheek pissed off Thornton and Haslam is off destroying the Browns. We need to cut the head off the snake, and Booger Eater is the head.

Sorry no offense but you are a fair weather fan. You would try to hurt the team to push your agenda. That is sad.

Quite the opposite.

Supporting this swill that Cuonzo is putting on the floor nightly is far more detrimental to the program.

Make the tourney..don't make the tourney...it does not matter.

Three years in and with his best group of players it's obvious to most this program is going nowhere under Martin.

You misunderstood my point....I still cheer them on, but I also realize a change is inevitable. For me to drive 2 hrs is not feasible given the product I see. I cheer them on whenever I can, just won't pay to see em play. And I'm sure ALOT of other Vols fans can relate. Not to mention there's a lot who would rather they just lose to speed up the process...if and when the numbers start decreasing in terms of being profitable I would think the writing is already on the wall from those fans who generally put alit of time and money into our bball team. We are still very profitable (top 10 I believe). Hecl I believe we are more profitable than UK

Bruce has always been coming back!it was the plan all along!! Why do u all think he and his coaches have continued to live in and around knox! Coach martin has always been a filler coach until the show cause was over! It will play out in the next few months and a major push by donors and knox media to bring back Bruce!

Mods, please just merge all the Bruce threads into one, a la the Fulmer threads.

If you think that Slime or Cheek would allow Pearl back and rub ignorance all over their face after the threw him under the bus, you are dreaming

Why is Pearl gone forever? Sports for the university is all about butts in the seat and eyes on t.v. Pearl would bring that back, and if the boosters got behind Pearl you're kidding yourself if you think that couldn't happen. I wish the best for Martin but it's time we get our guy back at the helm! I will put his name out everywhere I can. Yeah I'm one fan I get it, but I can try to get Bruce back on as many message boards, e-mails, you tube, etc. as I can

I just feel like the AD is focusing so hard on fixing football, that even if cuonzo doesn't make the tournament he will finish out his contract.. I don't think it's necessarily the right thing to do. I just think that's how they feel.
