The Wrong Blue is Number One

[KentuckyWild2020]

I can't stand Bruce Pearl.

Not my favorite by any means but if something changed at Kentucky, need someone who can handle it all..

Still would love to see Jay Wright out of retirement..

Parrish said he thinks JQ plays vs St. Johns.

First, regarding Pearl He'll be 66 just before March Madness tips off play. He says he's done coaching and I have no reason to believe otherwise. As much as I like him, I would rather have had Cal leave for UCLA in 2019 when bozo Mitch gave him that "lifetime contract" and hired Pearl then. He was 59. We could have gotten the last 6 years out of him rather than Auburn.

Pearl is definitely off the table now bc you're right, he's not coming back to coaching. He would have crawled here in prior years. When Mitch struck out on his top tier (supposedly Hurley and Drew), I would have looked at a guy like Pearl or Sampson...someone to bring in for 5 years that is hungry as hell to win a title before they ride off into the sunset and then regroup after they move on. Mitch 100% panicked, didn't want to get turned down by anyone else and moved to presumably what should have been the 15th guy on his list.
