Ok, Jeff Long.

Your move.

We have competition on the job market.

[idochog]

Tenner will def. drive the price up to 2.5.

Sexton will soon have tweets reporting MA a candidate for that job.

If I was Tenner, I would hire Shaka

[Kevin]

sexton on the phone now with tenn.

That makes the cheese a little more binding.

[HeartlandHOG]

i would love to get bruce pearl up on the hill.

[The Hogfather]

Uh oh....

Just hire Gregg Marshall for $1.4 million and be done with it.

Pearl out a Tenn., Per 5news

One of the 5 BEST Coaches in the college game imo...
SHAME if we don't at least "look into" his situation.
He's made mistakes, so have MOST of us too.

PEARL is HIGH LEVEL as a coach though (Plays "OUR" way)

Just sayin'

-100 if I could, he's a cheater

[ben HOGan]

Tennessee fired him because the NCAA was going to suspend him for year. Tennessee didn't want to deal with that. And neither should we.

Not the ONLY one of those my friend. NOT by far.

He coaches and motivates, and recruits as well as ANYbody not named CaliFAIRY.

That's ALL that matters to me

[LR Hog]

Tenner has NCAA sanction baggage.  No established coach is going to touch that job.  An up and comer like Marshall or Shaka would jump all over it though.

Please step away from the crack pipe.

[HeartlandHOG]

well you obviously know nothing about the game. sure you would have been happy with failfree remaining as the head hog. 

[hawgchill]

Please step away from the crack pipe.

YOU stay AWAY from the meth/crack Jerry "Faldwell"....

Pearl would immediatley get US BACK to prominence.
Public "interest/memory" is fleeeting to say the least.
He's worth a "LOOK" at least imo

[ke2743]

Please no Pearl to Arkansas talks.. There is a reason he's being canned at Tenner and it's not because he couldn't win games.

[The Hogfather]

Tenner has NCAA sanction baggage.  No established coach is going to touch that job.  An up and comer like Marshall or Shaka would jump all over it though. 

I'm praying they don't end up with Marshall if we don't hire him.  That would be a nightmare.

[Break & Run]

I don't think that Marshall would win a lot for a few years...

[brigibby1]

Good.  Pearl's a scumbag (albeit a good coach) and the SEC just got a little easier.

[The Hogfather]

I don't think that Marshall would win a lot for a few years...

Totally disagree.  I think most of the guys we've been talking about would win a lot of games next season, with the talent we have (depending on how all of it plays out---if current players leave or recruits don't make it/come).

Guess I should have quoted you; I meant at Tennessee...

[HawgPound]

Even with NCAA sanctions coming to TENN our search just got more difficult.

[HogFan219]

Ok, Jeff Long.

That is true, but what makes it a little better in our favor is that UT's AD might be canned, too. Add that to looming multiple NCAA investigations (lack of institutional control?), and it would be hard for UT to compete with UA in a coaching search. What decent coach would want to go to a place with that many negatives, not a whole lot of talent returning if Hopson and Harris declare for the NBA, etc.?

I think we're in a much better position IMHO.

[The Hogfather]

Guess I should have quoted you; I meant at Tennessee...

OOOOOOOOOOOOh.  You're probably right.  Recruits might be wary of going to UT with the NCAA hanging over their heads, etc.

I think Marshall would step right in here and win right away.

I think once he got UT going, he could win big there.

I guess we'll see how it plays out.

I would go for that today.

[DEVIL DOG HOG]

Some of their comments are like the comments on this board. So and so won't come here (Tennessee) besides I don't want him.

[Sivad]

Not good. We may have diddled too long with this Mike Anderson foolishness and lost Buzz.

[Kenny Dowell Loggains]

I like your style SIVAD.  Totally agree.  Too many coach openings have happened since Pel's departure, we are over a week into the search and so far the "home-run" hires seem to be slipping away.  Expect to see some of our "short list" move on to TENN, GT, and OU.  Already saw Billy Clyde head to TT... knew he really would've liked to coach here, (take all the drunk jokes elsewhere, the guy can coach and recruit!) but seems we're searching for that diamond in the rough which may not exist.

Not good. We may have diddled too long with this Mike Anderson foolishness and lost Buzz.

[The Realist]

Some of you are probably overstating ncaa effects...not everyone demands a 3 year pass for probation. UT was basically told by the ncaa to get rid of pearl and receive a slap on the wrist or keep him and get the banhammer.
Anyone with their head on straight and who gets the information before being hired will be fine going into that job. Most are guessing 1 schollie reduction and probation.  And ut's next ad is within the house and most believe he does more for ut than hamilton anyway. Hamilton is on borrowed time. 

[razoredge178]

Please no Pearl to Arkansas talks.. There is a reason he's being canned at Tenner and it's not because he couldn't win games.

So he forgot he had a bbq for recruits? Only difference in him and everyone else is he got caught.

[The Realist]

Lawrence frank could get a look there.

[tiber]

Don't worry, Pearl will have more time to enjoy his other hobbies -

[vandybuff]

But sadly the A. D. and UT - Knoxville chancellor are still there.  People who are complicity in lying - sacrificing the reputation of your institution that nearly forty-thousand students pay dearly to attend and now are a laughing stock - should also be terminated.

[The Realist]

Ut talking heads are now saying hamilton tried to save pearl til the end and the chancellor pulled an executive decision leading to a big confrontation between the two today. Obviously cheek won.

[The Hog]

So what is left at UT?  The entire staff was fired.  Not just Pearl.

[DeltaBoy]

Good bye!

Only two things end a coaching career -- losing and death.
