John Adams: Bruce Pearl still could be UT's best option If Cuonzo had been able to get this team motivated enough to beat some of the teams that we have lost to in the past three years with the very good talent in this team, we would not be in this position. I like Cuonzo Martin, but his teams are slightly better than Buzz Peterson's teams of yore. Why hasn't Bruce Pearl left Knoxville? If Tom Jurich and all of the U of L brass can swallow their pride to bring Bobby Petrino back, why can't the UT administration swallow their pride and make UT basketball prominent again by bringingBruce Pearl back? |

Bruce Pearl has said that Vols fans need to stop talking about him returning.
The big difference is that Petrino's incident happened at another school. Edited by OrangeRev, Jan 15 2014, 02:58 PM.

Petrino left U of L in an ugly situation a few years ago. |

Cujo's demeanor and coaching style remind me of Don DeVoe and his fetish for defense reminds me of Kevin O'Neil. He also is very similar to Buzz Peterson in unpredictable outcomes. He really is a good man but obviously, he better make the NCAA tournament this year or else. |

Because he left Louisville for the Falcons 3 weeks before NSD? Is that it, or something else? |

I seem to remember some middle of the night flight with the Auburn pres, AD and Bobby Lowder. Did they not sneak up there, or tried to, to talk to to him while Tubs was still the corch? |

The rumor on the street this morning is that Chancellor Booger is no longer standing in the way of Pearl, if Hart would want to go this way. TIFWIW. This isn't from anyone reputable, but Ainge said it this morning and a couple of others chimed in that they had heard similar things from their contacts on the periphery. |

If UT hires Bruce, UT will have to go before the NCAA and tell them why they are hiring Bruce. His show cause expires in August, so he could not recruit any players via in-home visits, phone calls, texts, or on campus visits until August. The big bugaboo lies with Mike Slive. Slive and his former legal partner, Michael Glazier represented Illinois when Pearl was an assistant at Iowa and presented the evidence of Illinois giving the vehicle to the recruit and Slive holds a deep grudge against Pearl |

Getting Bruce should be the AD's highest priority. |
