So much for letting it go.

Peace
Pearl was just fired for lying and cheating. That's why those articles have come to surface. They are relevant.

Do I think that Pearl made a humongous mistake? Yes. Should they have fired him? Well, I think the answer is no. Others clearly think differently. We'll see where the program heads now.

Every time I see Pearl on TV I have an urge to take a shower.

He's about as slimy as they come.

Best coach= biggest crook

The best part of him getting fired is my ability to relive the glory days of the scandal. Thanks fellas.

I went to Tennessee for grad school back in the Kevin O'Neill days -- Pearl made Tennessee a school where people looked forward to MEN'S basketball as well as WOMEN'S basketball.

I'm sure some no-name guy from some crappy D-1 conference will come in now and lead the team to a 17-16 record and an NIT berth or 3 before getting canned when they'll hire another no-name to come in and do the same.

A lot of Hawkeye fans wish we'd kept Davis longer, and Keno would have been coaching now.

Hopefully your new coach will do it honestly, something that can't be said for
'Pearl Scam'

Like I really care. The only difference between Pearl and everyone else is that Pearl got caught. The real problem is with the idiotic rules the NCAA has put in place that all but make recruiting impossible.

Agreed. It's not like he offered anyone an SUV or anything.

Absolutely agree.

Having had a football player who was being recruited by a couple of colleges, I tried to read up on some of the recruiting rules - just to make sure the kid didn't get into any trouble.

What a bunch of convoluted crap. There are inconsistencies and downright contradictions all over the place in those stupid rules. A strict reading of the rules would almost make it impossible for a college coach to even look at a HS player.

Better than the next guy, not as good as the guy who hired Pearl.

I honestly think Alford got hired because the AD missed out on Stoops the year before. Now, we're suffering in obscurity because of the way Dr. Tom was treated.

That's Karma.

Don't fire him...really Rich? If you lied to your boss and then admitted you lied to your boss would they keep you around? He is just a bad person...plain and simple.
