GaTechFalconsfan Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Nope think Chris Mooney from Richmond is the guy we get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTA Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Georgia Tech is a much more attractive job than UT right now IMO... Tennessee is a dumpster fire... Infractions impending, no recruiting class, basically starting over (see Indiana). If I'm one of these in-demand coaches, I'm looking at Arkansas, Oklahoma, NC State, and Georgia Tech before I'm looking in Tennessee's direction...

WTA Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks like UT's top three choices are Jay Wright, Jamie Dixon, and Anthony Grant. :mellow: I guess Coach K and Roy Williams pre-emptively removed their names from consideration already.

WTA Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Their top 5 list (according to a source within the athletic department) was actually those three, Mark Turgeon, and Gregg Marshall from Wichita State... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clemumo82 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I wonder if Pearl will get slapped with a "show-cause" or not.I can't imagine GT, NCSU, or Oklahoma are seriously worried about losing their prospective coach to Tenn. As already pointed out the program is basically a dumpster fire, and Tenn basketball isn't like an Indiana basketball program that coaches have as a dream job.Yes, Tenn has money, facilities, and a solid arena (one that has proven to be too big if the team isn't doing well), but you're basically starting from scratch with the NCAA lurking around and following up a coach that most everyone in the area still loves.

Unknøwn Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I expect Pearl to get a show cause mainly because I believe the NCAA will make an example out of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Falcon Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Looks that Tennessee's actual top choices include (in no particular order), Anthony Grant, Chris Mooney, and Shaka Smart, with Gregg Marshal at the top of the tier 2 list. Would love to land any of these but really hoping they can pull Grant away from Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
