blue horseshoe loves bruce pearl

[coolm]

1. he teaches D first
2. good recruiter
3. players love him and don't leave him
4. the fans love him
5. knows how to coach for big games
6. IF he does get a show cause then we get a hearing....were we to lose we'd get a year from ncaa's - which we're not gonna make yet anyway. this means there's no reason not to take him on that account.
7. he's a good coach and we would get him cheaper


FACE FACTS: BRUCE PEARL IS OUR "BCG FOR $800K"

I can promise you that OU would shut down the men's program before they would hire Bruce Pearl...

and that would just be silly.

Have we forgotten OU's history so quickly?

3. players love him and don't leave him

According to a Tennessee site, their two recruits (Ware, Jones) are already saying they aren't going to be Vols now. Pearl must throw a mean bbq shindig.

I know there's no way OU pursues him, but he's better than any of our current candidates IMO.

 

[coolm]

Let's just put this out right now for starters:

HE HELD A DARN BBQ.

Remember the argument with the King? HE GAVE A KID A WINTER COAT.

Sorry but I won't be sending either guy to Hades in shame for those 2 infractions.

and that would just be silly.

The current administration is ALL TOO familiar with our history... hence their decision to not follow it again.

This current administration is dedicated, above all else, to follow the rules. Period.

there's nothing to say they wouldn't be.

plus, you're way overreaching. Stoops quote a few years ago about "doing everything that we can do within the definition of the rules" was nearly identical to Calhoun's.

If you push the contours of the rules then you aren't "dedicated, above all else, to follow the rules. Period."

Would love me some BP, however, given our current situation with the NCAA don't see how Joe C can pull the trigger.

 

[coolm]

PLUS...

Bruce Pearl = no buyout
we buyout JC and pay BP $800k or $1million or so.

so many positives to this that you can't overlook it

I agree with this. He would be a fantastic hire. The BBQ infraction allows us to get top 25 coach for top 250 coach money. I am all in.

Bruce Pearl does seem like a great fit, IMO.

He just doesn't seem like the kind of guy that the ever-image-conscious Joe C would hire, especially given the pending NCAA sanctions.

Bud, Barry, Bob

Bruce 1, Billy, Butthead, Bruce 2

Bruce Pearl does seem like a great fit, IMO.

then Joe needs to pull his head out and recognize.

Please Joe C., sign the Pearl! I want OU to win!

 

[NotsoyoungJeezy]

If Jones and Ware come with him...I say lets hire Pearl.
