Bruce Pearl Has a New Job: Sirius Radio Host
College Basketball, Media Gossip/Musings November 8th. 2011, 11:01am
Bruce Pearl, the former Tennessee coach who got hit with a 3-year show cause by the NCAA primarily for lying about a photo of a barbecue that took place at his house, has gotten a new job. A source tells The Big Lead that Pearl, 51, was recently in the mix for jobs at ESPN and CBS Sports, but both channels passed on his services, so Pearl accepted a job to host a radio show on Sirius.
According to a source, Pearl will host a show on the basketball channel once a week beginning soon, and then do the show twice a week as the season progresses. Guests I’d like to see Pearl line up:
- Anyone at the NCAA
- Aaron Craft (Ohio State point guard at the middle of the photo scandal that cost Pearl his job)
- Mike Hamilton, former Tennessee athletic director who threw Pearl under the bus
Our source tells says Sirius is expected to announce the show later this week.

The Janoff version of this post will be a classic. I cant wait to see the snark subtly suffused in the announcement of the time & station the show will be on.

Sources!
With the exception of Stern and a handful of others, Sirius radio hosts don’t make much money. I don’t think Pearl is going to fall into the handful of others category.

i hear more sports talk shows on sirius that sound like they have the worst equipment in the world, headsets that don’t work, mics that don’t work…
you’d think they could get some decent equipment.

you mean any equipment. At a studio you can play with levels to make things sound better. At home in a large spare bedroom with a smartphone while the host fumbles around the internet, a “show” will never sound good.

The Bruce Pearl Show will originate each week live from whichever kegger is likely to attract the best trim. Unless there’s a party boat available.
