The fans would love his chuck it up from deep style.

But they'd turn on him after the inevitable 4-43 game in the tourney.

Never, he don't have the pedigree to coach here, we don't want or need a crying sweat hog roaming the sidelines.

That dude would live at Carson’s...all that bourbon and all those cougars. He would be in heaven. Roll in there dripping of sweat, pit stains and all. Drive all the women wild.

What? We didn't turn on Calipari after a 4-32 against WVU in 2010.

What if we hired Pearl and his team's did that every year. Go back and look at some of UT and Auburn's tournament losses. His teams have been known to ish the bed. And he's never been to a Final Four.

Cal got a pass for that game because it was his first year and we'd been an SEC also ran for 4 years in a row. Most of us were just happy to not have to worry about the bubble.

I would hire him to cater my 4th of July picnic. I hear he throws a mean barbecue!

No. I like him because he makes a good villain, its easy to see why if he's your coach you like him and if he isnt he irritates you. But the SEC needs coaching personalities. Right now we have more than we did a few years ago, but we are still lacking in pedigree/personality on the whole.


Bruce at Kentucky would be fine winning wise, I believe hed be at or a bit above what Tubby did on the whole. But no, theres a bit of a difference between the yankee antics Cal and Pitino provide v the extreme Pearl goes to. For a lesser program its perfect because their fans need that extra circus. At Kentucky, the fans are the circus.

I’d take him over most candidates. He has enough ego and is well spoken enough to handle the fans and press. He’s done well everywhere. I think he could recruit well here.

Please, let’s bring substance and not petty dufus cliches. Thanks.
Substance to what? Your idiocy?

Cal had 25 NCAA Tournament wins before he ever coached a game at UK. Pearl, as of his second, has 11.
That's called substance, you frickin' dufus. .

Bruce is a good coach and I don’t dislike him but it takes a special coach to make it here. By the way, I was sick of watching him ***** after EVERY call tonight.

Hhmm

Cal had the “pedigree?”
Cal had been to 2 final fours with two different teams and is a winner, that's enough isn't it, and hasn't been in trouble as a coach has he. I didn't say he did have the pedigree but he had enough credentials to get this job, Kentucky hired him.
