SEVIERVILLE — UT men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl stole the show during the first of three Big Orange Caravan stops Monday with a surprise announcement.
Ending his comments during a breakfast with UT alumni at River Plantation RV Center, Pearl said he is committed to being the men’s basketball coach at Tennessee for a long time. Then Pearl revealed another commitment when he introduced the crowd to his new fiancee, Brandy Miller, a native of Sevierville who attended the breakfast with Pearl.
“If you think I’m leaving that for Memphis, you’re crazy,” said Pearl, whose name was linked to the school’s opening after John Calipari left to become the coach at Kentucky.
Pearl said he proposed last week, although the couple has yet to set a date for their wedding.
“It all revolves around recruiting and scheduling, but I’m very blessed and very fortunate,” Pearl said.

With Brandy and Layla I see a new Vol promotion coming - UT coach calendar girls.

Coach P was hilarious, and could have a career on the stage if he gives up coaching. Kudos to the crew for a great stop this morning.
Oh, and Coach Kiffin, take a breath, I was exhausted just listening. If listening to you is how the drills are running, we have no fear of running out of gas late in the games. He's a mile a minute.

Was at this one as well. CLK is trying to hard to impress, there is not doubt he knows his stuff and will do well. Looking forward to when he relaxes some like CBP. When he does he will own the Volnation because he has a really good sense of humor when you get to know him and he lets his guard down.
Third time I have heard CBP - he gets funnier every time. No doubt he is proud of Brandy!

I'm betting that BP is now well versed in the practability of a PRE-NUP.

Off the subject.....yeah go ahead and go to KY Mr. Wall, coach Cal knows exactly how to deal with players like you..he had plenty at Memphis....he lets them do whatever they want......I'm sure KY fans would not care either, so long as they start winning again......how morals and standards change when a team starts to lose!!!

Speaking from first-hand experience the last thing you want to do is marry a Hooters girl. Do you know what the difference is between Hooters and Hookers? One letter, and that ain't much. My Hooters marriage lasted almost 11 months.

Now I know why BP didn't appear to coach this past season with as much "energy" as previously. A prenuptial would seem wise, but she's probably too smart for that. My guess is BP thinks he has found true love and she on the other hand is probably reading that bank statement from right to left. Wonder what the kids think of their "new mom" and how this might effect their inheritence? In TN it's 50/50.

Uh....last i checked i did not say anything about winning head to head vs KY.....winning is the overall record of a team, and KY has been worse than UT since CBP arrived.....you think KY loves that they beat Pearl head to head or that it kills them they did not make the NCAA tourney last year not to mention UT has finished ahead of them in the SEC standings the last 4 years??? YOU should think before you speak.
