The Bruce Pearl Thread

[bleedingTNorange]

Of course im a little hypocritical bc as a sixer fan, I cheer for all the players having really good but hope we lose every single game to have a better chance to get wiggins or parker.

A little hypocritical?

 

[GAVol]

A little hypocritical?

Such is the life of a pro sports fan whose team sucks. I know the feeling.

 

[zjcvols]

A little hypocritical?

Different with pro teams however.

UT Cant hire Pearl.... Time don't go back it goes forward..

I guess, I would never personally root for my pro teams to lose.

If your pro team decides to tank, you have the right to cheer for a lower pick, especially in the NBA.

No fan should hope for their team to tank IMO

Of course not. But if the organization does, I understand cheering for it to happen.

I guess, never had to worry about that thankfully.

My sixers traded/cut their enitire bench in the pursuit of tanking. They also traded an all star for noel and a draft pick.

They're the sixers, they'll always be bad, kinda like the Timberwolves.

Uh what?

Always? Dr. J would beg to differ.

No problem.

Do you not see a correlation between when the AD was removed from the University president and placed under the UTK chancellor?

Yes, and that goes back to what I said about the UT admin. It has been a cluster especially since Johnson left. When you have a revolving door of presidents then there are different agendas and philosophies. That has led to instability in the football program.

Hey, we agree on something

 

[InVOLuntary]

Absolutely. Then you have Hart who answers to a Chancellor that doesn't give two sharts about athletics. We will not succeed at a championship level as long as cheek is calling the shots in the AD. It's apparent to me he wants to manage athletics by endorsing mediocrity. If we are successful it will be accidental. If Martin is fired, which I doubt regardless of this year's results, prepare to get another no name coach that has had marginal success at some directional school.

Bring Bruce back

Bring Bruce back

Hold your breath.

 

[SGMVols]

Yeah, let's bring back the guy who offered Skylar McBee a scholarship but passed on Casey Prather.

Casey Prather has been garbage until this year. Also Prather never wanted to play at UT.

As crazy as it sounds, I'm actually starting to believe Bruce might come back. Did you see his piece on Pat during halftime? Coincidence? I think not

Good lord, don't go all Gruden tie color.

The Grumors had more credibility than anything Team Bring Back Brooce has brought to the table.
