Pearl is finally elite...

Fine furs?

Fine furs? Seriously? That's just funny.

Everyone has complained that he had to get to the Elite Eight to be an elite coach. Well, welcome to the big time boys!!! :rock::rock::rock:

:rock:

I'll admit that I was wrong. CBP has done what I thought would never happen at UT. Kudos to him and staff.

You've been fair. Glad to hear you congratulate the team and staff! Most of us are on the same side here, and can enjoy this victory and tournament for what it truly is.... Historic.

Fine furs?

I'm guessing a lifetime pass to Northshore Tanning...

That's a Slurper having a sense of humor...

$$$$$$$$$$$$

But after this year, I believe he's earned it.

Great job Bruce and yes he deserves every coach of the year award after this year!

He won't win coach of the year even if we were to win it all, they already have their candidates for that, he isn't one of them...a crock to do it before the tourney but what can you do?

 

[zjcvols]

IF he makes the Final Four, I think you can give Pearl a raise. He makes a lot of money to begin with, but he has done great this year.

He's finally proven that he can coach a style of basketball that gets you wins in March, and after the OSU game last year I didn't ever expect to see that. Rarely have I been so glad to be wrong about something. The Jan 1 incident may be the best thing that ever happened to his career.

What is Pearl's salary now? 2.2 million?

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

What is Pearl's salary now? 2.2 million?

$2.5 mill?

 

[GahLee]

2.3

 

[Orange Swagger]

Hell it should be at least 3 mil now

Pearl isn't finally elite... The University of Tennessee Men's Basketball program is.
