Auburn hires Bruce Pearl

[orbs son]

Auburn finished 12th in the SEC this year. We finished 4th. Prob can switch those for next year.

 

[92volalum]

auburn now has the best football-basketball coach combo in the sec

This.... .for sure it just shows u some school want to win while others just give lip service to the sheep n they keep writing those checks..

Isn't tn a rep not dem state now?? Lol I suppose sheep follow ..

At least we have baseball in the spring...

 

[dal9]

What's going to happen to the grocery store now?

 

[jspvol76]

Yep, I don't think this insures immediate success at Auburn.

 

[volstatic]

Let the meltdown begin...

 

[Shaun1985]

Auburn has good facilities and is a great location for recruiting. The Pearl will do well there.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

He'll have his work cut out for him at Auburn, much more than he did here

This. People thought our program was down, we were freakin' UK compared to Auburn.

Not to mention he's going to have trouble getting them to care down there no matter what he does.

 

[coors40light]

Wait…………what about the petition everyone signed?
I was almost certain that was going to work…………

 

[golfballs]

I actually thought he would get a better job than Auburn.

What does it tell you that he sprang for this job?

 

[zjcvols]

I'll admit that I thought he would find employment more difficult and may have to toil in the mid-major realm a couple seasons (you could argue Auburn is worse than that even).

I was wrong.

This was my thought process.

I was wrong about that

 

[volger]

Smokescreen.

He's just biding his time, and honing those coaching skills until Martin is canned. All is well. No worries Pearlophiles.

 

[zjcvols]

Alright back to our game tomorrow now

 

[whobethis16]

All the geniuses who said Bruce wouldn't be hired by a major college program we need to hear "I was wrong and I'm a dumbass."

We need to hear all the geniuses that said Martin would never make the tournament at UT say "I was wrong and I'm a dumbass."

 

[Mr. Lofton]

Didn't want him anyway...

 

[lostsheep]

What does it tell you that he sprang for this job?

That he wanted to get back to coaching ASAP and be in the SEC?

 

[Through_The_T]

All the geniuses who said Bruce wouldn't be hired by a major college program we need to hear "I was wrong and I'm a dumbass."

Since when is Auburn a major college basketball program?

Good for him and AU, though. Wish him the best.

 

[Jazzy#10]

I'm taking bets on which football game Brucey goes shirtless.

 

[butchna]

Auburn just got a vitamin B shot...their fanbase energy and enthusiasm will be a kick to Hart's and Cheek's ulcers...when they try to wake up fans in TBA.

21-11 isn't losing

if you aint first yore last

 

[VolsSportsFan]

That he wanted to get back to coaching ASAP and be in the SEC?

Or that was probably the best job he was going to get.

 

[99gator]

pearl will win for several reasons.

one reason is the fact that the vast majority of sec basketball coaches are clueless.

i wouldn't even be shocked if auburn got to the tourney in year 1, but i would definitely bet on year 2.

 

[Sandvol]

he got hired by Auburn not Kentucky

You forgot to say "And I'm a dumbass."

 

[k-town_king]

All you Pearl worshipers who think he will beat do realize he won't have Lofton and could to bail him out right? Aub will be terrible. Bruce isn't Wooden, Coach K or even Bill Self. Good coach but he isn't some genius coach.

If you're serious, please root for Auburn football too.
