A very large majority of fans are all for that to happen. Some claim moral superiority just as the priest who had Jesus crucified. Sadness. But it cracks me up when the sanctimonious on this board do it because it is their final defense and they know it. lmao

I totally agree. As long as they aren't boosters or Hart, I'm not worried about it. You get a like for that one my friend! :hi:

2. Deon Thomas

4. His bosses at UT

That should be enough to convince you.

He's not worth the risk.

-he lied about Deon thomas?
-srsly
-what habitual lies did he tell to his bosses? I wasn't aware.

Just looking for evidence that he was a habitual liar. Pretty strong commentary.

Yeah he did.

It further proves along with his other lies what kind of person he is.

That everything went fine and there was nothing to worry about with the investigation.

Let's not forget asking families to lie for him.

Sweet. He did every thing Jerry Green did.

But hey, if you prefer winning>integrity, that's your conscience.

Whew! Now I know your a fraud. You don't even know what you're talking about. Get your facts and come back when you do.

Continually raking Bruce across the coals for what he did is a little ridiculous. He's apologized profusely (many times) and has been taking his punishment with class.

If you were a bank, you probably wouldn't hire someone who had plead guilty to bank fraud and served time to be your CEO. I get it ... that would be stupid.

But that's a LOT different than re-hiring a highly successful coach who you had to fire because he got in trouble for lying to the NCAA about having a recruit at a barbecue and has since made his apologies and served his suspension. It just is.

You missed my point.

A #1 ranking means little.

Green made the tourney every year. Made a sweet sixteen. Two Eastern titles. Won a conference title.

Pearl is a better coach but the point being that Pearl, while did a good job at UT, didn't do the impossible. He wasn't a top ten coach.

Actually, it's not. How many millions do you think it's cost the University in buyouts, lost revenue, etc. due to Pearl's bad decision? Now why would you give him the chance to do it to you again when there are others out there who could perform the job at the same level.

He was a top 10 coach at UT, and that should be enough if he is the best candidate to consider. Do you not agree?

Again, who is a "fighting Martin"? Are you saying anyone who doesn't want Pearl back or doesn't think he's coming back is somehow pro-Martin?

It's one of the biggest fallacies in this thread. I think it's pretty clear that Cuonzo sucks. I also think it's clear that it would be dumb to rehire Pearl.

He lied directly to the NCAA and to his direct bosses at UT.

If you want to argue what he lied about was silly and not a big deal, that's fine. But I can't think of any situation, in any business, where you lie directly to your boss about something like this and they ever say "Yeah, why don't you come on back?"

He was not a top ten coach. That's ridiculous.

And no it shouldn't. I don't want a coach coming off a three year show clause for lying to the NCAA. That is stupidity when UT can get a good coach.

Probably $0 millions. I doubt they had to buy out anybody because they were fired with cause.

And it's not Pearl's fault they failed to hire someone who was good enough to fill the seats and put a winning product on the floor.

I'm not arguing that Tennessee "could" hire someone who might perform at the same level as Pearl. My argument is that Pearl's performance is a known commodity, he's available, and he lives in town.

There were 10 better basketball coaches at UT?

UT has had a basketball team for over 100 years and some of the most exciting times were the 6 years Pearl was the coach. As a fan, it's fun going into every game you play thinking you can win. We had that under Pearl. Under the coach before him (Buzz) and after him ( CCM) I go into every game wondering what the coach is going to do to lose the game.
