TheBlueVue 177 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I so hope this is true!! Mikey, I appreciate where you are coming from, but I think you are a little misguided. You are welcomed to your opinion on who/what our new coach should be. College athletics, by it's very nature, is basically a sewer. No one is clean who works in it. Not Dye, not Pearl, and not our beloved Malzahn. I would love what Pearl could do with our BB program. The above statement is pure truth. Wow, that is some serious cynicism right there. "Basically a sewer" huh? Well, lets just say I have to disagree with that, which is not to say that I think college athletics is a completely pure enterprise. Im not that naive but I definitely do not equate it to a sewer. Not much good comes out of a sewer, last I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket City Tiger 4 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Having gone to the AU BBall camp as a kid, I have always hoped for more from the program than we have gotten (save for a year or two under Ellis). BP would bring back the energy, excitement, and excellence that we all want to see.

WarEagle84 0 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 SIAP but his wiki page shows him as Auburn coach 2014-present LOL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Pearl That's been fixed already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lions roar 119 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I would like to thank the eggheads at the Ā University of Tennessee for firing Coach Pearl because we would have never had a chance at the hire without the egregious backyard barbecue infraction.

It would've been a mild penalty, as you stated in your post, but I think Bruce left a few things out when interviewed by the NCAA so that's why he got the worst of it. He's a better man today because of it and he said it humbled him. Thank goodness Tennessee decided to part ways with him then or we would've never gotten him. Bruce would've won at least 1 Natty at Tennessee, if not more. Having Bruce and Pat Summit at Tennessee together, they would've done big things.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
