Que? If Pastner left us, Bruce Pearl would be on the short list to call. You can bet your sweet bippy.

In response to the inevitable "we'll be short one booster then", you'll be quickly replaced in spades.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

IF the TX job opens up...why would they not go after Bruce Pearl?

I'd offer that I do indeed have a good idea what I'm talking about.

Not true. Many, many clues.

How many of us lie everyday at work, to family, to church, to God? He'll land somewhere someday, & I'll be pulling for him.

preach it bigd!!

lots of folks around here willing to cast stones.

ill support whoever the coach is as long as he wins. I don't think that my ego or feelings or opinions trump the good of the program

You'd change your tune as soon as he's hired, just to get under people's skin.

Bruce Pearl would be an excellent replacement for Josh. Josh is good at recruiting, but not coaching. Bruce is an awesome coach.

The ones disagreeing are also the ones that come on here and cry about everything and start boycotts. A BBQ place didn't have Tiger gear on the walls so I won't go back! The Bowl game isn't using Memphis' conference, so I'll never attend another Memphis game! Buffalo Wild Wings dared to put on a highly anticipated football game, even though shi!@* Memphis was on and I'm never going back!

You all are delusional with your expectations. You're also delusional if you don't think Bruce would be at the top of our wish list if we replaced Josh.

What about Pastners teams?

BP's early teams did underachieve in the NCAA (based on seeding) but his last team went to the E8 and was a missed shot from going to the FF with zero NBA draft picks.

How did they do in away games against #1 ranked teams in Memphis? I guess they did underachieve.

Problem is, with that argument, what happened to then #1 UTk the next game? They lost to Vandy and limped into the end of the regular season and were curbstomped by Louisville in the S16.
