I am not in favor of replacing Calipari with Bruce Pearl but a school that allowed Billy Gillispie to coach its basketball team for two years while he refused to sign a contract and then paid him millions of dollars to go away after firing him with cause is not too good for Bruce Pearl. Kentucky's athletic department apparently is run by total morons.

Bruce Pearl's teams play loose and they play hard. Calipari recruits talent but Pearl builds talent and his recruits generally exceed expectations. A pattern is emerging where UK is consistently ranked in the top five preseason and Auburn is ranked much lower. As the season begins, Auburn and UK begin moving in opposite directions in the polls.

I see your point. Let me rephrase my statement. U.K. should be too good for Bruce Pearl.
