Why not Bruce Pearl for AD?

Yes he made a mistake with the well pubbed cook-out and cover up(could he be forgiven for that?) but could he be an absolute beast of a fund raising and promoting machine or what? He is in upper east tn right now at an auction for St Judes and he can flat raise some money.
If Hart doesn't survive the soon to be Pat Summitt firing issue (I believe its coming) I'd say we should at least consider strongly Bruce for the job. Any other thoughts and opinions?

Better chance you see Jon Gruden run through the T next year wearing nothing but a black helmet.

We have an AD that is doing a fine job. We do not need to jump to conclusions based on attorney's litigating a suit through the media. Attorneys use this tactic when their case is weak, the facts won't hold up in court, and they can sensationalize the pain on the defendant to try to get a fast settlement to make the case go away.
I know that Wes and others really respect Debbie Jennings but she seemingly has brought Summit into a situation that has no upside for Pat. This is now as ugly as it gets for Pat and UT.

First off, Hart came from an environment where well-heeled boosters have a much larger role in Athletic Department matters than at Tennessee, so I'm sure that pretty much everything he has done has been with the approval of the people that matter. He isn't going anywhere.
Second, I would love to see what a Compliance Department under Athletic Director Bruce Pearl would look like.

One of the funniest post EVER!!! Only way it could have been funnier is if you could have found a way to mention butt-chugging.
