Pearl-ites have to be crushed that their boy will not be returning to the Vols now with Martin sneaking his way into the NCAA (assumed). Even if he does not make the NCAA tourney, he will be back next year based on how they closed the year. I sit back and laugh at the wasted energy promoting this cheat and trying to rally support via some Facebook social media drivel. And it will be even funnier next year watching the circus again! If Pearl isn't hired that is somewhere else.
Screw Bruce Pearl 'sudden impact'. He can go wherever the wind leads him. He can suck hind teet while he's at it.
This thread is probably in the state it needs to be at the moment, passive aggressive. Why bring on unneeded drama, just support the team, deal with the coach at season's end. Not now.
People hear and interpret conversations that best support their wants. Right now is not the time....but there will be a time to determine whether to crank the petition up or let it die.
I do not agree with the above. I don't care if ccm makes the tourney , we should still bbb. Here is why, who is the better coach cbp or ccm. If you have the chance to upgrade you upgrade. Even the ccm supporters would have a hard time pointing at facts and saying that pearl is not a better coach. I see them stating he has earned more time, but I have not seen many actually say that ccm is a better coach. Keep the petition going!
Okay..so what about the coaches who are better than bruce. Why would you bring him back before hiring any of them?
Makes no sense.
Which ones? I have not seen any coaches better than pearl that have shown interest. So, just hypothetically and not comparing Jackson to pearl, but if Phil Jackson wanted to come coach at tn, you would not upgrade given the chance?
Furthermore ccm has proven that he can take talent and create decent teams with them sometimes. Sorry, I did not know that the goal of our program was to MAKE the tourney and not compete for championships. Do any of you ccm supporters truly believe that he can actually coach us to a final four? I don't!
