Dan Patrick: "You contacted by Oregon?"
Bruce Pearl: "No, no, no contact by Oregon...I'm an Adidas guy."
Dan Patrick: "What about St. John's?"
Bruce Pearl: "No."
Dan Patrick: "Are you insulted?"
Bruce Pearl: "No, no, no because I put it out there very, very, very, very openly that I'm happy at Tennessee. That Tennessee has created a situation here where we can do, we can do some (?) at Tennessee and anything I can do at anyplace else."
Dan Patrick: "Well, you can get a blank check at Oregon, Bruce."
Bruce Pearl: "Yeah, well there's more to it than that. You know, my family is here. Tennessee has given me the opportunity of a lifetime."
Link. It's about 3/4 of the way in.
how the eff can DP ask about Oregon or St. John's and not BC? Unless Pearl told him before the interview NOT to mention the vacancy at BC.

Could it be that Pearl would have told DP not to mention BC, but knew that DP would never in a million years think Pearl would actually consider coaching at such a "non-entity"?

that is the million dollar question. Surely a veteran sports guy like Patrick isn't naive enough to NOT know of the Pearl-BC connection before he interviews him. hmmmmmm.

You guys are reading way too much into this.
hawaiirob {l Wrote}:But the silence from Pearl and GDF is eerie. And nothing from Patrick was eerie too. Got to believe Pearl told him not to mention BC. And for all we know, Katz is tighter with GDF and BC than he is with Al - and is creating an even bigger smoke screen with his "Pearl is not going to BC" rhetoric.
If that's the case, there should be term limits for athletic directors, too. DeFilippo has turned over the football and men's and women's basketball programs within the last few years. When is there culpability for the AD, too?
auggiebc {l Wrote}:When you listen to the full interview, and get a feel for the context, you get a better appreciation for the weridness of Patrick ommitting BC in his line of questioning to Pearl. Reading too much into this? Perhaps. But listen to the interview again. How in the world does Dan Patrick NOT ask about BC...especially with Pearl talking about his family, and TN, and other job opportunities. It's unimagineable that Patrick wouldn't bring up BC given the Pearl/BC connection. You cannot convice me that Patrick is simply obvlivous to the Pearl/BC connection.

Two things:
1) GDF mentioned that Pearl wasn't a candidate "at this point" on WEEI. I know this is an obvious smoke screen, but he hasn't exactly been silent.
2) Katz pretty much call for GDF's termination in his latest article. I doubt that they are "tight." I don't think Katz has access to GDF.If that's the case, there should be term limits for athletic directors, too.

That fat guy from Strega would stalk Pearl until he shoots a spot for him
i doubt it. everybody knows pearl went to BC. It would have been a perfectly cromulent question.

While this is disheartening, I don't think it's conclusive. He never said "I'm not leaving" or "I'm not interested in another job". It is also a positive that he said there's more to it than just money...

Why is it disheartening? He said plainly when asked about money - "Yeah, well there's more to it than that." That's enough to think there's a possibility.
hawaiirob {l Wrote}:It could also be that GDF really did not officially whack Al until Monday because GDF needed to see if Pearl went to the F4. Perhaps Pearl told GDF et al that he was going nowhere if he made the F4 or beyond. When Tenn was knocked out, Al became officially fired (not just on notice as Katz and Al seem to imply) and Pearl became the target?? Who the hell knows?
But the silence from Pearl and GDF is eerie. And nothing from Patrick was eerie too. Got to believe Pearl told him not to mention BC. And for all we know, Katz is tighter with GDF and BC than he is with Al - and is creating an even bigger smoke screen with his "Pearl is not going to BC" rhetoric.
I believe GDF is at least - at least - considering Pearl. Not saying it happens. But the attempt is being made.

Disheartening because I would think he'd be less likely to take the interview if he was talking to BC. Also, he talks about how happy he is at Tennessee and how great the situation is. There is some positive in there for sure though (not being asked about BC, $$$ not the only thing, yadda yadda yadda)

I don't buy this. If Pearl had turned them down, he would have done so quietly so as not to disgrace his alma mater. Obviously GDF is pursuing Pearl, but if he is rebuffed, it won't be done publicly like the St. John's mess.

If Pearl turns down BC... you can be damn well sure he will do it quietly, but also with a big effing pay raise from Tenn.
