frick a hover hand.

I've yet to hear you list a single UT coach you like. Most you dislike. Starting to think no one can please you on the 'like' front. Maybe to competence or good coach front but not in the "I like this coach!" arena.

Hell, IIRC, you don't even like Summitt. What the ever loving frick??

Pearl is very similar to Phil Mickelson.

Very good at what he does, does all the right things in front of the camera, but a huge a-hole behind the scenes.

Pearl was great when he first arrived, but he got what was coming to him in the end. Success really changed him. Ask Jason Shay, Mark Pancratz, Chad Newman, Steve Forbes, etc. what they thought about him towards the end. There is a reason Pancratz and Forbes declined his offer to join his staff at Auburn.

Jury is still out on Jones. Probably won't succeed but a very good recruiter. Never heard a single bad thing about him personally. Mediocre staff.

I think Tyndall will get it done. Everything I've heard leads me to believe he will do whatever it takes to win. Would not be surprised if there are NCAA issues during this tenure. Seems to be a genuine person.

Was not a fan of Derek Dooley from day 1. Awful at everything on and off the field.

I was not a fan of Cuonzo as a coach, but I respected him. He really underachieved outside of a two week window this March, but he is absolutely one of the highest character guys in college basketball. I will be rooting for him at Cal.

Pearl was a pretty solid coach. Awful human being. Really dislike all the worship from the fanbase. Would take him back tomorrow though because it is guaranteed Ws.

Fulmer did a nice job for 10 years or so. Should have been fired after 2005. Don't hate him, but don't like him either.

Women's basketball simply disgusts me. I pay it zero attention.

He can recruit now, the bagmen are in place, we will win championships in the future. It all starts today.

I dislike BP because he's a serial cheater & not a very good one at that as he's gotten caught..as far as we know, anyway...every time he's cheated. As well, he's a self admitted liar.And apparently not too swift, either,as he got caught doing the same exact thing twice.
