Font Size: When it comes to replacing a "legend," my broadcasting mentor told me this long ago,  "You don't want to be the replacement, you want to be the replacement's replacement."  In the case of Tennessee basketball, I'm not sure truer words could be spoken. Bruce Pearl is a unique mix of charisma and coaching talent.  His replacement will likely be a solid coach as well, just don't expect a Pearl clone.  There's only one Bruce, and now he's gone. But boy, it was a heckuva ride.
