Tennessee fans rallying for Pearl are going to wake up tomorrow with lots of fleas.

Rumor has it that he autographed Chipotle coupons afterwards.

Bruce Pearl will be coaching very soon inspite of his foolish mistakes. Thousands of UT fans are behind him and are demanding that the AD be fired as well. Pearl built a program that was down to a competitive program. Every player under his watch that completed their eligibility graduated including 6 this season.....

Bruce Pearl has too much of a tarnished image for all but the pristine and immaculate programs right now. But if he takes a year or two off and does some commentary, then he will be in very high demand a year or two from now.
As for Shaka Smart, the Billy Donovan coaching tree continues to sprout winners. Just yesterday, Mark Wise was making the point that he (Smart) had made himself a lot of money this past week. But he didn't think that Tennessee should go after him. It was nothing against Smart, he just thought that the Vols need a coach experienced at both recruiting and coaching at the major college level. I understand the logic that using such logic will eventually be impossible. But I do see Smart moving up the ladder in some manner. In fact, he was having a minor argument with the cohost. Wise mentinoed Providence and the cohost called Wise a conference elitist and questioned whether Providence was a better job than VCU. Wise answered in the affirmative immediately. Then the co-host asked him whether Miss. St. was a better job than VCU and again, Wise immediately said it was. "Conference elitist" was Larry Vettel's (co-host) response.

I just heard that Mike Anderson is being offered a significant raise and contract extension -- likely in response to potential interest from Arkansas.

“I was the second-winningest coach at URI, the winningest coach at BC. Does that lend itself to someone who doesn’t work? If I can do all of that and not work, then you should hire me anyway.’’OK, that was pretty damn funny. ;D

He would be a near perfect fit for Providence - he's had success at TWO schools in the region, extensive area networking ties, and he's managed to make situations with terrible resources work in the Big East and the ACC. It makes too much sense though, so it'll never happen.

We need it to happen. Too many of the new hires in the BE are stiffs and not as susceptible to comedy.
