Tennessee fans to Bruce Pearl: I Want You Back (Oh and Alabama wants you too)

If you thought that "Gruden-Mania" was bad after Derek Dooley was fired as the Tennessee Volunteer football coach, it seems that natives of Knoxville are already wanting to phone an ex-girlfriend so to speak. They seemed to laugh like little girls at Alabama hiring Lane Kiffin as the offensive co-ordinator like seeing an ex marrying a fat chick.

 

Not even after his third year, Cuonzo Martin is already "feeling heat". This is with 116-80 (28-20 in conference). But, the natives are crying out Bruce Pearl it seems. Obviously Tennessee wants to win, at any cause. I don't know if Bruce Pearl wants to get back into coaching or not, he seems like he enjoys the TV booth.

 

 

Tennessee isn't exactly like South Carolina or Alabama when it comes to basketball, they just lack consistency.

 

 

 

Speaking of Alabama, it seems that the Tuscaloosans are interested in Pearl's services if the Tide fires Anthony Grant.

No matter a show cause, the aroma of desperation lingers through most of the SEC. I guess it's forget the past and win at all cost.

I have nothing personal against Bruce Pearl, he was a good coach. However, the show cause penalty still leaves me a little pessimistic about bringing him back, even if he has repented of his NCAA sins.
