No.

That the 'AA will levy sanctions is safely a foregone conclusion.

But, were you Tennessee, what protections might you seek in this contract - in respect to what Pearl agrees / refuses to do, should he be fired......or quit.

No kidding. If following UT basketball my entire life, watching and listening to every game since I was a little kid, or going to a lot of UT games makes me a bandwagon fan, then I guess I'm a bandwagon fan.

I said it was just my opinion. I just simply don't care much for Pearl and the past few months have helped me make that opinion a lot more. I give him tons of credit for changing his coaching over the past 11 months. I'm just not planning on buying into a guy that has broken his word to a lot of people. If you do, then more power to you.

He is forbidden from providing incriminating evidence against UT to 'aa. They aren't God homie. I give up. Just tell us what you're thinking already sheesh.

Well, he's working without a contract right now, meaning, there is nothing to prohibit him from leaving at any time, to go anywhere, to do anything.

Do you think that such prohibitions were in the first (and now cancelled) contract?

Were you Tennessee - and you stood by him through all of this - wouldn't you want some assurances that he wouldn't just wait until the end of the season and quit on his own? Free to go wherever, whenever and do whatever he wanted?

Everyone keeps thinking that there is only one way that BP could leave Tennessee - and that's to be fired.

But, there are other ways, besides that. And he wants to keep them open.

With the pending NCAA sanctions, I'm quite sure there are a number of schools that Pearl could go to any time he wanted to leave. Most schools would give no consideration to the sanctions that are likely to be forth coming on our basketball program.

I think its in the University's best interest to get him under contract ASAP with an "out clause" if he gets suspended or sanctioned significantly. If they wait until the NCAA report comes out and for some reason he isnt punished very harsh, then Pearl will be in a position of power to demand a higher salary.

You'd think UT would give him a time-frame in which to sign and return the contract. Seems like an "ABC" type restriction.

He indicated in the interview that he did not have a contract and was not sure he could survive this situation, depending on the sanctions that are forthcoming from the NCAA.

When did Bruce say he wasn't sure he could survive the situation? Im pretty sure I never heard him say that

that goes against what Hammy said. Didn't he say even if the NCAA suspends Pearl for a year that Pearl will remain the head coach? I know Hammy is like Jesus to some of you on here. Surely Hammy won't lie:yes:

Interesting. Buyout clause and maybe a specific clause against leaving for a position with a team regularly on our schedule (ie, SEC or Memphis). It's obvious to me, based on his last halftime interview and the performance of his team's play, the whole thing is unraveling behind closed doors. He seems more concerned to get pt for his name during crucial moments of the game than coaching. There's a reason we looked so bad in our last game. This could get ugly fast. I wish we could go ahead & get the ncaa's decision.

Hat, notwithstanding the NCAA investigation, just where do you think Tennessee Basketball was before Bruce Pearl?

Bruce Pearl: 2005 - 2010.
Overall record > 126 & 46
Conference record > 57 & 23
5 NCAA tourneys - 2 sweet sixteen & 1 elite eight.

Buzz Peterson: 2001 - 2005.
Overall record > 61 & 59
Conference > 29 & 35
No NCAA tourney.

Jerry Green: 1997 - 2001.
Overall record > 89 & 36
Conference > 41 & 23
4 NCAA tourneys - 1 sweet sixteen.

Kevin Oneill: 1994 - 1997.
Overall record > 36 & 47
Conference > 14 & 24
No NCAA tourney.

Wade Houston: 1989 - 1994.
Overall record > 65 & 90
Conference > 27 & 57
No NCAA tourney.

Don Devoe: 1978 - 1989.
Overall record > 207 & 137
Conference > 107 & 91
6 NCAA tourneys - 1 sweet sixteen.
(5 of the appearances were before the shot clock)

Ray Mears: 1962 - 1977.
Overall record > 278 & 112
Conference > 182 & 76
(Different era).

Bruce Pearl and his staff (and players) have not reached this level of success with "smoke and mirrors"! You may not like Pearl but he is no shim sham man. There is no question that he can coach and coach well. He and his staff have out-coached a number of their well-respected peers.

LMAO at your contention that Bruce Pearl is in the power position in this contract situation. Bruce Pearl has been sitting on this contract for many, many weeks? Why? Because it contains provisions that he doesn't like, but he has no power to change those provisions in the contract unless the NCAA announces that it's giving him a free pass...and it won't.

Since the contract is on his desk he is in power to sign or not sign as he chooses, it is crystal clear he is in power. UT can retract the offer whenever they choose and regain the power. More likely Bruce's attorney is reviewing it and will request some changes before signing. The NCAA not adding to the restrictions/penalties would be far from a free pass considering he has lost a lot of money and suspended for 1/2 of the SEC games. Thats a huge penalty! Of course if you think the death penalty is required for stealing a loaf of bread then yeah, its not enough.

Surely you're just joking about Pearl being in a position of power in negotiating this contract.

You added the negotiation part yourself. I simple said he is in power in the current situation because the contract is on his desk. If he signs it its valid nothing UT can or wants to do at this point. Ball is in his court.

The ball is in his court to sign the contract UT is willing to give him. Obviously, he wants changes in the contract that UT apparently isn't willing to do. I would say UT has the power over the contract, not Pearl.
