Agree. And regarding Pearl... I'd be all for it but those that claim to know here and on other boards still say "no chance at all" so until someone credible says different I'm not gonna give Pearl a second thought.
Those same people seem to think that Jimmy Cheek is the barrier to his re-hire, and beyond that seem to see Jimmy Cheek as an enemy of UT athletics. I think both of those propositions are preposterous, so while I'm not banking on Pearl getting another shot here, I'm also not going to be presumptuous about it either. JMO.
