Bruce Pearl...

Let me make things perfectly clear:

As a Memphis fan I am programmed to dislike anything that is UT related, so at this point in time I hate Bruce Pearl.

I hate Bruce Pearl very much the same way as I hated John Calipari before he arrived to Memphis...

If Bruce Pearl decided to coach at Memphis I would love him. Once Bruce Pearl left Memphis I would hate him once again.

So is life...

This post today is inspired by the rumor floating around that Bruce Pearl would strongly consider a Memphis offer if the money was right... DO IT!!

Pearl and Calipari are of the same mold - they are led by ego.

In Memphis he would be the toast of the town, In Knoxville Pearl plays 3rd string to Football and Pat Summit. There is no way in hell they would pay Pearl more than than Lane Kiffin or Summit.

What's the worst that could happen? He'd say no after getting a raise from UT? The very same raise that would cause the other two coaches to get raises because there is no way the 3rd fiddle could ever make more money that the other two.

So we cause UT to spend more money...

I love it - Let's do it.

Piss off Cal and Piss off Knoxville in one fell swoop of the pen.

My coaching list has changed since Anderson re-signed with Mizzou -
1. Pearl - he's the total package (I still hate him today though)
2. Still Tim Floyd
3. Still Sean Miller
4. A new one to add... Andy Kennedy.

As a bonus - Bruce Pearl would be highly accepted at the COGIC convention if he wore a blue suit.
