Do you have to completely douse any minute ember that exist? Can we not just have a tiny spark invisible to the named eye?

Just heard a rumor that UT will look into rehiring Bruce, but he has to get hired at Alimonies first...

It's been 5 days since he last tweeted, and I'm not seeing things about Tennessee, so not really sure what you're referencing.

Well it's always better to have other programs coming after your coach than not.

I'm more looking forward to the guy complaining about people talking about bruce pearl in "the bruce pearl thread" lol

I think those people were more commenting on the idiocy of having a "Bruce Pearl thread" when the chances of him coming back are less than zero.

 

[RationalThinker]

Yeah boys

 

[Catbone]

id still rather have bruce...

I wonder if we have anyone at least ready to admit that the punishment bruce got in wake of Ohio St, PSU, USC, etc is far too much for what he did?

His punishment wasn't for the violations he committed, it was because he lied over and over to the NCAA. If he would've been smart and admitted everything from the start he'd have gotten a slap on the wrist like the schools you mentioned. The reason he didn't get a slap on the wrist and why he's no longer on the sidelines is because he thought he was smarter than the NCAA and could lie to them.

But Jim Calhoun maintained that UCONN did nothing wrong and all the punishment went to an assistant.

Was it proven that Calhoun lied to directly to the NCAA's face?

It's really simply, tressel tried to pull the same stunt. Thought he was smarter than the NCAA and could lie his way out, he got a showcause just like Brucey.

Lesson is...don't lie to them no matter how bad it is whatever you've done.

 

[terrypedigo]

:cray:Bruce is like the old dog that got ran over he is not coming back.

Tressel lied to the NCAA and his staff didn't get what Bruce's did. Bruce did not deserve a 3 year show cause. I don't see how anyone can even try to argue that. If Chip Kelley doesn't get even a 2 year one (which doesn't even really exist since he's in the league now) how can you justify Bruce getting 3?

It's not really a big deal anyway though, as we can see in football medie recently, the big conferences are sick of the NCAA. If they don't change the majority of what they do, then there will no longer be an NCAA to worry about. And it may not matter even if they DO change.

That's because Tressel's staff didn't lie.

And Tressel got five years.

I like Bruce, but this thread needs to disappear.
