Could you envision Pearl ever returning?

Sadly I agree with this thinking. Getting rid of him saves us a little trouble with the NCAA maybe. If his replacement doesnt pan out, I dont see why he wouldnt be considered. Unless your worried about more violations, but really who cares if our basketball program gets in a little trouble as long as we could go through another 6 years of exciting and winning basketball .

But thats the problem, if he's not cheating then he's not winning.

There is a precedent.

Ted Turner Fired Bobby Cox in 1981, then rehired him in 1985. When Cox was fired in 81, Turner indicated regret about it immediately. Things obviously worked out well the second time around.

I see a similarity. Most of us hate to see Pearl go (whether you think he had to go or not). I could definitely see a situation where he returns.

That's baseball. Were talking about a sports coach.

This is all hypothetical and please no flaming on this, but let's say whoever we bring in doesn't work out for us and we get rid of him 3-4 years down the road...does UT ever consider possibly bringing Pearl back after things blow over? If ESPN and other sports blogs think Pearl deserves another chance, then why not right back at UT?

Again, this is just a random thought that came across me today:crazy:

I think your avatar and your question share a lot in common.

I considered this too, when I believed that the reason for his dismissal was to avoid more punishment and because he was going to be suspended. But after the last few weeks, it's clear that the powers that be are just sick of his lies and shadiness. Pearl wore out his welcome, plain and simple.

Absolutely and unequivocally, no. PR nightmare for the university.

The year is 2015.

After 4 years with the title of Athletic Director Phillip Fulmer anoints himself head football coach of TN Football after Dooley wins the Sugar Bowl and leaves a treasure chest of young players and recruits for Fulmer since he is departing for a head coaching position in the NFL.

But before Fulmer leaves office, he names Bruce Pearl head coach of Tennessee Basketball.

Fulmer, Bruce and Pat reunited.
