Does the fact that the majority of Vols fans really like the hire of Bruce Pearl and the job he has done make you feel more confident they can do the same for the football team? Is it a non factor?
To be honest, Bruce Pearl probably lost some respect for the University. If a better offer comes along, he might take it. Taking the program to the highest level isn't good enough for this fan base if you have a couple of bad seasons later on. He knows that his good name and popularity is artificial and will be in danger as soon as we miss the NCAA Tourney more than one season... Just watch and wait.
Winning a NC isn't good enough around here.
