Will Memphis Tigers Get Bruce Pearl as a Coach?

No chance. Why would Pearl go from the SEC to Conference USA. Sure Memphis is at the top of its game, but Tennessee is one or two players away from making its FIRST Final Four in men's basketball. I don't think they ever made it that far even with Houston, Grunfeld, and King. Pearl also has no problem understanding that Tennessee will always be a women's basketball school, and is friends with Pat Summitt, but that doesn't mean the men can't be a powerhouse either, unlike Jim Calhoun who can't graciously accept that UConn will always be a women's basketball, meaning the women will have more significance than the men.

Besides, Memphis is a rival school too, and the Vols will not just let him go there.

I think Memphis already got a new coach anyways, right?

I saw this so maybe people do want Bruce Pearl to go there. Geno Auriemma also has been a potential candidate... I can see Auriemma coaching men's basketball at a major program, and Auriemma has stated that he would if the right opportunity came up, but I think he's banned from coaching any team in the state of Tennessee.

Interesting choice. Memphis would continue to be a reputable basketball program if they did, not to mention many of the recruits coming in next year might possibly stay with Memphis instead of heading elsewhere.

Yes
