Im hearing that the administration will not consider him but if there is overwhelming support from us bill-payers then maybe they will have a change of heart. I got no faith in the guy we have now.

No. What he did was a firing offense. He should have been fired immediately not at the end of season. I would never trust him again. In a job of this magnitude and responsibility, you do not deserve a second chance.
No.

Love to have him back....hell, I wish he'd never left. But, IMO you never fire someone and then hire-em back. Unless you are Billy Martin and the Yankees of course.  |

It's time to lay this to rest. I liked Bruce, but what he did was wrong. The fact is, he is gone. Let it die.  |

A stuffed animal sitting in the head coaches chair would be an improvement over what we have now. |

Yeah.....we could have a cardboard cut out of Pearl on the bench coaching and we'd most likely be 9-1 at least right now. |

I think the administration is a bigger hurdle than any NCAA concerns. He has paid the penalty. I'd be fine with it if it could be possible.

I think both would be an issue. We know about the UT administration's stance, but many within the inner workings and powers that be in college basketball are not fond of Pearl from his past histories with them. Some in those positions could make things really hard on UT (or whoever were to hire him) if they were to bring back Pearl. And while I was once dead set on not rehiring him, I am now pretty much in the same boat as my good friend Pirate is - I would be ok with bringing him back, but with very tight leash attached. |

I would be all for it, however unlikely it might be. As BDV said, his penalty was too severe, but he's served it anyway. I have a difficult time thinking he hasn't learned his lesson. First of all, the actual recruiting violation was very minor. Not a huge deal and not something 99 percent of UT fans would've wanted him fired over. The bigger violation was the lie. I try to put myself in his shoes and I can honestly say that I might've done the same thing...in fact, I think many, if not most, of us would do the same thing in our professional lives if we thought we could get away with it.
A lot of the UT fans I've heard say they wouldn't want him back because he "just can't help himself" or something similar (and that segment of the fan base is definitely a small minority) are still hung up on the supposed violations Pearl committed after his tearful presser on 9/10/10. They don't realize that one of those was drummed up by the NCAA and the others by Jimmy Cheek/Mike Hamilton in one big CYA cluster.

I'm all for it. They went nuclear option on Pearl for nothing compared to whatever the Miami coach did. If we had an AD with some cajones at the time he probably would still have been our coach.

the biggest mistake that UT ever made was hiring an accountant with ties to the rat tiglet basturds as our AD. He basically threw Pearl under the bus when the NCAA came and discussed with hamilton that they wanted to talk with Pearl rregarding a possible recruiting violation and showed Hamiltin the "grainy facebook photo" of the bbq. haith and an assitant were paying off boosters. Hamilton had never played sports and did not know what it meant to be a team...and to think he said he was a religious person. |

I'd take him back.
Regardless of whether he comes back, he should sue the every loving shizzle out of the NCAA for the gross discrepancy in treatment between himself and the Miami coach.
OTOH, I am pretty sure that a lot was going on besides a bar-b-que.....let's just leave it at that.

I think you hit on a point....there were other things that made the BBQ bigger than it was. |
