The idiots on the Enrichment Sports Source says no fan petition will have an effect in bringing Bruce back and it will only make it tougher to bring in a new coach if the AD does make a chance. This petition will only show potential coaches that the fans do not support the program. They were basically laughing at the petition.

I signed the petition. The sooner CCM is gone the better for the program.

And it's true, but nobody wants to hear that.

If a move is moved and for whatever reason Pearl isn't considered, good luck finding a quality candidate that's interested. They're gonna look at this situation and say, I'm just fine with where I am (Buzz Williams, Pitino Jr.).

Having the NCAA camped out in our backyard is just a saying coined by the Pearl haters because they have to remain absent malice or they can get their pants sued off. Pearl may have the show cause removed by then anyway since it was over penalized to begin with.

Any school hiring a coach before their show cause is up is asking for it. It doesn't have to be a Pearl hater to believe in that.

Bruce made me want to watch b-ball.

Question from the "cheap seats"..... Has anything like this happened... where a coach was re-hired after infraction?
Lets make Bruce a "VFL".. think it would get some attention?

Im not sure, but in 2011 Donnie Jones at the University of Central Florida was given a three year letter to show cause for violating NCAA rules when it was uncovered that they were making cash payments to recuits. UCF was give three years probation too. UCF didn't fire him, in fact he just got a raise and extension last summer.

I think the fact that a petition got started before a firing, alone with media coverage, and that it surpassed 10k before regular season's end got the Administration's attention.

As a result, This petition is hard to ignore and now at 20k and still growing, it has become something that cannot be just pushed aside.

I fear a stubborn pissing contest between the fans and potentially Cheek. With both elements flexing their muscles to prove who is in charge. Also, an organized Mattress Bon Fire in the making. Not because Pearl will not be hired, but because a change will not be made.

If Boogerman wants to get into a pissing contest. That might be the magic button that needs to be pushed to fire his gator loving azz. Wont hurt my feelings at all.

Begging for what?

If you want to have an actual discussion I'm all for it, but you don't seem capable.

All you say is...bring Pearl back, pearls the greatest, we love Pearl, TBA won't be big enough etc etc

Little 2 word responses about Pearl that literally have no basis to them, is that honestly all you can manage?

People kill me that say Bruce got fired for not being honest to the NCAA. The reality is, every coach at some point has lied to the NCAA. Some everytime they open their mouth. Pearl got punished and ultimately fired for telling the truth. In religeous terms, for repenting. For being honest. How many times do we see coaches simply deny even when faced with evidence and get no or little punishment? The NCAA knows theyre no being truthful and are powerless to do anything. Even with the picture evidence Bruce could have done the exact same thing and said it wasent his house. That his assistance misremembered. But instead he thought, you know what, being honest is the right thing to do and if I'm honest it wont be so bad. How many of us teach our children that? But no, the NCAA decided to take out all the frustration they had built up from being lied to and not having any power to dig up evidence on many many coaches over the years and so they slammed the one that was honest. #BBB

OMG that may be the Greatest Video I have ever seen. Except the start that is. Im pumped. Watching Josh Tabb painted up next to pearl reminds me. He couldn't get on the floor with Pearls team but he would be starting for Cuonzos teams.

Sure hope spring time gets here so 22,000+ warped fans can get out of the house once they realize they have ZERO say in any UT coaching decision. ZERO.

Bruce is not "coming home" except possibly to Sweet Home Alabama after the season is over. We'll see how the Love for Bruce holds out then.
