Posssible Replacements for Coach Pearl

[LawVol13]

You are kidding right!?

Projected starting lineup:
PG - Golden
SG - McBee
SF - Tatum
PF - Maymon
C - Hall

Subs: McRae (maybe) and Woolridge. Oh yeah, and Tyler Summitt.

Want to rethink your comment?

You're kidding yourself if you think McBee starts over McRae.

Ive been saying it, shaka smart! Would be a great fit for him with up tempo play and even better athletes here once he recruited

Or go after the scary Kansas St. coach Frank Martin....

He reminds of the crazy Brit Vinnie Jones....

Frank Martin is the best! His players love him and he gets after reporters who ask stupid questions. He would be very entertaining.

 

[give_him 6]

Now there's a name I forgot about...He wouldn't be a bad one to look at

He left my alma mater (Missouri State) to take over at Iowa and failed. Not sure if he would be the answer.

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

I name him........ Trevor.

Why? It's always seemed like a good name.

How about someone off of Pat Summitt's staff?

Absolutely. I think Mickie Demoss would be a fantastic choice.

Wait... He is winning? I guess enough to get a 12 seed in a weak conference...

Pastner can recruit, but seriously tell me you have faith in his ability to control his players and win on a serial level... super serial level? No way, he is in over his head at Tiger High. No way he is ready for a big time SEC gig! Hahahahaha

Going small on Derrick Williams to deny the ball and keep bigs out of foul trouble definitely showed he was in over his head against a Top 20 Arizona team. Playing zone, even though he is a man first D coach, when in foul trouble or even to show a different look, definitely shows he is in over his head. Calipari played exactly 5 minutes of zone his entire 9 years at Memphis, even when it would have been prudent to at times. Winning 70% of his games his first 2 years, reaching an NCAA tournament in his 2nd year, all while rebuilding a decimated program shows he is in over his head. All of this in a league whose 9th place team beat the SEC champion and Sweet 16 bound Gators.

Let's throw Calipari some bones....he'll come in a heartbeat

No Way! If we ever make a Final Four I don't want to have to remove it from our history books.

You're assuming McRae will be here next season. This would be a great time for him to transfer. Also, there was a reason CBP played McBee over McRae even if not obvious to us.

 

[jerryvol44]

He will get a D1 gig though. It may not be power conference, but he'll get a D1 job.

I think Pearl will be back in Div 1 a lot quicker than anyone thinks. The guy can win.:rock:

Good post.

In addition, we will face a 5-year postseason ban, Japan's reactors will melt down and destroy all life on the planet, and the sun is dying.

 

[BasketvolsFan]

It's because McBee is so much more athletic than McRae and is such a great 3 point artist.

 

[TNinSC]

Surprised to not see Chris Mack from Xavier on your list

Hell no. He only got the job cuz Miller left and he played at Xavier. He isn't a good coach.

He can't win without cheating. He committed the same violations at UWM minus the lying to the NCAA part.

1) Stevens - He may be happy there, but a lot bigger salary might make him happy as well. I wonder what we can offer him above what he is making now.

2) Anthony Grant - Double bonus points for taking him away from Bama. If he is not happy there, maybe it is possible.

3) Bring in another mid-major coach with a lot of fire and ability. Give him what he needs to succeed and get out of the way and let him do it.

According to ESPN's subscription area, Stevens is more than likely not going to leave Butler.

CoachingNewsOnline.com reported Tuesday that coveted Butler coach Brad Stevens is likely to remain at the school, despite the endless string of interested schools that are undoubtedly going to come calling once the Bulldogs' season ends.

...

If Stevens is ever going to leave Butler, there probably won't be a better time than now. But there's something to be said about loyalty, especially since it's almost entirely absent in today's sports world, and we're pretty sure many college basketball fans would love to see Stevens remain right where he is.

Floyd=None.
Kennedy=Next to none.

whats the realistic likelyhood that Lawrence Frank or Larry Brown would give up their NBA ticket for UT? People are on that bandwagon, and it has me intrigued....

Gregg Marshall - Wichita St.

Watch them in the NIT, great D, disciplined offense. Has built teams everywhere he's been.

Not criticizing your choice, just want to point out that if we don't get this right, you may have coined our new slogan. "Tennessee Vols -- Watch Them in the NIT!" I'd buy the t-shirt.

Listed earlier, ITT:

Frank - 5%
Brown - .00001%

I might have missed the exact number of zeroes on Brown, but you get his point.
