I think I'd like to have Bruce Pearl as coach

[coolm]

why - sell me. I need something to pin my hopes on

I know where you're coming from, but OU is historically a better program and IMO he'd have an easier time recruiting to Norman than Tennessee.

Our practice facility is better, our admin backing is historically better, and the fans (bad as some think they are) actually come when we're winning...and IMO OU is more prestigious overall.

I would put Bruce's chances of coming to OU at 0%. He already makes like $1 mill more than Capel. Just my opinion but he's too big of a fish for OU right now.

agree

that's why it's time for Joe to pony up.

Joe C doesn't have the balls to make a move like this

When you have Calhoun cheating like crazy. Bruce Pearl doing the stuff he does which is far worse than phone calls, Calipari doing god knows what an nobody caring. Nick Saben in football cheating openly. Yet Kelvin Sampson is the one that got the book thrown at him for extra phone calls. That seems kinda small compared to these other guys that are basically getting next to nothing as punishments. I know I'm biased toward Sampson he was our coach for a dozen years. But still he basically got banned from the NCAA, and he's a damn good coach. Yet they will never even touch Calipari or Saben etc.

Heck..........at this point I would take Minnie Pearl!

Agreed wholeheartedly!

LMAO......me too

 

[oumiller]

wonder if we could lure him away? somehow?

Great! Let's trade a coach destroying one basketball program with a coach destroying one of his own.

I agree a move has to be made and won't necessarily disagree Pearl is better but to me it is not the desirable move I want.

I'd rather have Gillispie myself.

It just shows the hypocrisy of the NCAA.

I'd take Pearl right now over Capel, even with his baggage.
