Bruce Pearl To Retire from Auburn

[BernardKingGOAT]

Perfect timing. Give him a few years to rest and relax And take back over when Rick decides to hang em up.

Hell No

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Adios you POS

Kinda a dick move by Bruce if so. It’s one thing to force the university to promote your son. It’s another to screw over your players like that…

I mean in fairness he would’ve had to make the move in April, most schools would prefer a coach wait until after that to prevent mass departure.

UVA Basketball: Tony Bennett's Retirement Opens Transfer Portal for 30 Days

The timing of Tony Bennett's immediate retirement as Virginia basketball head coach is confusing and curious and will undoubtedly be one of the first questions

You're right. Unless something has changed since Bennett's retirement last fall, and barring any court challenges, undergraduates would be ineligible this season.

Correct…they can transfer but have to sit/redshirt.

Steven Pearl. In my 50 years of UT fandom, my least favorite person ever to wear the orange. By far. So glad his dad dragged him far away from here. Never had to lift a finger or work for anything his entire life. In true form he's gifted a plum college coaching job.

Ok? The deadline to enter the portal for immediate eligibility was April 22.

I didn't know if that mattered still considering the circumstances.

He did medical sales for 3 years before starting coaching. Although his dad was not allowed to coach at the time.

No, deadline still in place, you can transfer but aren’t immediately eligible.

I'm ignoring that part. It conflicts with my agenda.

I liked Bruce and hate the way things went down here at UT. He’s been a great coach for Auburn, but Auburn is out of their minds signing off on his son being HC.

 

[Vols till I fall]

Must be health problems or something

Steven Pearl is not proven and honestly has one of the worst mouths I have seen in college football or basketball, just a rude mf'er

I think this is a really bad hire that can set them back

 

[Vols till I fall]

So now all of you people who compare Pearl to Barns can't really do that anymore lol

This gets him out of the Auburn contract and frees him up to come back home, when the Deacon retires after this upcoming season.
Brilliant!!

When Barnes decides to retire, make the phone call

I love both Barnes and Pearl

No thanks.

Who the hell do you want? Steve Forbes

No thanks.

Steven Pearl looks like an Albanian ecstasy dealer.

You all want our AD to hire a 65-year-old retread instead of finding some fresh blood? That's some nonsense. Our program is probably one of the top 10 strongest/most successful in all of college basketball at the moment, and we've got a brilliant AD who has more history with basketball than any other sport. You don't think he could play that strong hand to land us a much better option?

it is a huge risk.... But then again on the grand scale of things, you take that trade off considering where the program was on day 1 to know with Bruce. Like no one out of their right mind would have said no to Bruce back in 2014 if they were told they would get Bruce for 11 years with a Final Four, but it would end with his son getting the job for likely 1-2 years.

No one rejects that trade

Donnie's show cause is surely over by now. Plus is only 55!

You act like 65 is old, what the helly. We hire Barnes when he was 60 and he's still coaching!!!

Because the program was closer to death than someone at his age back then.

The citizens of this country are having no problem electing 80 year olds as President and entrusting their sharp minds with the Football. 65 is just a baby.
