The ego of these people is amazing. I think I'm gonna do a web poll of how I should spend my first million when I win the lottery. Both of them have about the same chances of happening.

There are more than a few rumors that this could happen. A prominent AAU coach in Memphis, Keith Easterwood, has said that Pearl would go to Memphis if the money is right. He said he's talked to Pearl multiple times and he loves recruiting the area and feels that he could have gotten both Elliott Williams (Duke) and Leslie McDonald (Briarcrest/UNC) had he been the Memphis coach. Also claims that Pearl feels he could win a national championship at Memphis.

Other reasons people are speculating that this could happen....Pearl plays 2nd fiddle to football and maybe even 3rd fiddle to Pat Summit. Pearl would love the money and the Memphis boosters are pissed (so much so that they would love hiring a guy Calipari hates) and they are willing to pay.

Of course, this could all be Pearl's way of getting a good raise from UT much like Cal did to Memphis every year.</p>

I think Pearl is looking for a change of scenery.

The more I think about it the more likely it seems that Pearl would go to Memphis. If Memphis really wanted him, they could pony up enough cash to pay him more than Kiffen is getting paid to coach football. What is Kiffen getting paid - between 2M and 3M? Assuming Calipari wasn't lying at the press conf. this morning, Memphis offered more the UK. UT wouldn't top Kiffen's salary for a basketball coach. It's definitely not out of the realm of possibilities.

Here is the Auburn announcement.

I imagine the "getting hammered is cool" crowd will not like this if it comes to Scott Field. I, however, would love it. I would narc on people like it was my job.

Edit to add that I meant this as a new topic but I are an idiot.

 

[RobbieRandolph]

You would narc on people because they're drinking during the game or narc on people because they're blasted out of their mind and NOT in the student section?

Please elaborate so I don't think you're a tool trying to ruin a good Saturday in the Fall.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

B. While I am somewhat of a rule follower, I would not turn in someone who was drinking and not bothering anyone else. Unless they are wearing Bama gear.

But get too rowdy......and POW. There goes a text message.

 

[RobbieRandolph]

Understandable...anyone in the non-students stands making the game unpleasant for children, falling over, cussing a lot probably deserves it.

Now if you bring a child into the student section, all bets are off, in my opinion.

the same amount as Pat Summitt. Kiffin makes around 2.3 mill but add in all the assistants and UT is paying over 5mill a year for its football coaches. Pearl is a total douche he is just trying to get the same money that Calipari just got.
