The Bruce Pearl Thread

[bleedingTNorange]

He may have someone in mind no one has thought of. While CBP seems the obvious choice he may not be even under any consideration.

You just caused half of VN to have a heart attack

Pearl cheated, he lied, he embarrassed UT. He needs to stay gone forever. Martin is embarrassing UT too, but he's not a liar/cheater. BOTH need to be gone forever and someone who can win with integrity needs to be brought in.

Do any of you think that if Bruce Pearl had an attorney with him on the initial and subsequent NCAA investigative Meetings he would have been Sanctioned or fired. I think he would have still been here as a coach.

Lesson Learned. No matter who is interviewing you if any agency is investigating you and has authority over you take a lawyer with you.

No, if Pearl had lawyered up, it would have probably been settled without most fans ever knowing a lot about it, he would still Be our coach too.

I think if the UT Administration had allowed the UT attorney to disclose the picture to the coaching staff when it was received (6 days prior to the initial interview, according to UT's written response to the NCAA), none of this would have happened. JMHO.

Y'all musta forgot, and anyone thinking of getting behind this silly, fruitless "bring back Bruce" effort, read:

NCAA investigation: In the summer of 2008, Pearl invited high school junior Aaron Craft and members of his family to a cookout at his Knoxville home while Craft was on an unofficial visit to Tennessee. At the cookout, Pearl said that Craft wasn't allowed to be there under NCAA rules, but encouraged all those in attendance not to tell anyone about it. When the NCAA began an investigation of the affair, Pearl not only lied about the cookout, but also told Craft's father to lie as well.[9]

On September 10, 2010, Pearl acknowledged the violations in the Craft affair, and also admitted lying about it to the NCAA. As a result, Tennessee imposed sanctions on Pearl and his entire staff including $1.5 million in salary reduction over the coming five years and a delayed retention bonus. His off-campus recruiting was also restricted completely from September 4, 2010 to September 23, 2011.[10] On November 20, 2010, the SEC ordered Pearl to sit out Tennessee's first eight SEC games.[11]

After finding out about additional NCAA violations, as well as a violation of the school's substance abuse policy by a player, Tennessee fired Pearl on March 21, 2011--three days after the Vols' blowout loss to Michigan.[12][13][14] On August 23, 2011, Pearl was given a three-year show-cause penalty for lying to the NCAA, effective until August 23, 2014. This means that the sanctions imposed on Pearl will remain in force if he is hired by an NCAA member school within that period. Specifically, he is prohibited from engaging in any "recruiting activities", which means he cannot contact recruits, although he may evaluate talent during that period. If a school does choose to hire him and chooses to challenge the NCAA restrictions, it must appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and "show cause" for why the sanctions imposed on Pearl should not follow him to that school.[9] In imposing the penalty, the NCAA said that Pearl's lies turned what would have been a minor case into a major one.[15] Since most schools will not even consider hiring a coach with a show-cause order in effect, it will likely have the effect of blackballing Pearl from the collegiate ranks until the 2014-15 season as the earliest. His assistant coaches were also given one-year show-cause orders, in effect until August 23, 2012.

Old news don't you think. Been there done that and got the T shirt for it....

You are just playing around aren't you?

He will be coaching somewhere....

It won't be at UT and I very seriously doubt it would be at any reputable institution. Most AD's elect to stay far, far away from known liars and cheaters. Louisville being one notebale exception, see Bobby Petrino. And quite frankly, what Pearl did was much more egregious than Petrino's "sins of the flesh" cheating/lying in his personal life. Pearl elected to lie directly to the NCAA, UT officials, and he subborned additional lies from recruits and their family members. THAT, is serious business.

Probably, but...

It will not be at Tennessee.

It will not be at Georgia.

It will not be at Alabama.

He will have to prove at a mid-major that he can win AND stay out of NCAA trouble before he will get a shot at another major job.

You have your opinion and I have mine,

Petrino just didn't get caught doing the other. Neither did a long list of others that lawyered up.

College athletics is serious business but the investigative side of it is not. It is like throwing darts blind folded.

What Bruce Pearl did was dumb. A lawyer in the room would have lessened the blow.

ESPN does not have a problem with using him as an analyst and commentator. They are beyond reproach so they think.

Someone will hire him and it easily could be another SEC team. Desperate Organizations take Desperate measures. ACC, SEC. Big East all have desperate teams some have hired in the past descriptions of coaches you described above in your new post.

Bob Knight and Texas Tech just another example of an extreme hire.

Can't wait to see the reaction of fans here the first time BP shows up shirtless with his upper torso painted in gold, red or whatever his new team's colors are.

President Cheek I am glad you finally joined Volnation. Welcome.

I always pull for the Vols. I never pull for them to lose for any reason. All I said was IF they do not make the tourney that I hope Hart sticks by what he has said and inferred more than once. Martin makes the tourney Hart will likely keep Martin since that was the stated goal from Hart. Right or wrong that is what he will do since that is what he required Martin to do. Martin would help his case and make it easier on Hart if he also won a couple of games in the tourney.
