Impossible!

The basketball experts assured me that he would never coach again! Coaches don't coach after a show cause. Nobody will every hire him, they said. He will never ever coach in the SEC again, I was promised.

People who know it all, sure do get a lot of things wrong.

:)

Good hire for Auburn.

Nobody said that other than him coaching in the SEC, which I said was possible after a few years.

Congrats to Auburn for getting a guy who can't recruit this summer.

Auburn has nothing to lose. This hire is a win for them. It may take a few years to payoff, but it will.

CBP will win at Auburn...the guy has won wherever he has been.

He'll out-recruit Grant for any kid in Alabama, and be able to get kids from Fla and Ga.

Either way...I wish him well and appreciate what he did for UT while he was here.

I'm very interested to see if the Martin stuff is true about him wanting to leave, and if that happens.

I've said this before, I've talked to someone that knows both Hart and Cuonzo that's said he wasn't happy last year when he didn't get an extension. I realize the summary tweet by Rucker was way off but even if you read his full statement there was a little angst in there IMO. Very suttle but it was there.

Lol. This is ridiculous. Pearl will not win many games next year. I would bet we win more than Aub and blow them out. Pearl isn't lucking in to the greatest shooter and one of the top players in SEC history or an NBA pg. Pearl hit the lotto here. It won't happen again.

But but but all the Pearl slurpers told me how much Brooooooce loved UT. How could he ever go to another school??

Are you saying he didn't love Tennessee? Saw him at the NC State football game in Atlanta 2 years ago. Seems like a fan to me?

He took the Auburn job because when a major University with a large athletic budget offers you millions of dollars to coach their bball team you take it! Good for him. He gets to go back to doing what he loves and maybe we can bring him back home one day.

Honestly it wouldn't shock me.

Heck it wouldn't shock me if he left, went back to Purdue and started making the NCAAT every year, while we all say "Where was that at UT Cuonzo?"
