Funny thing is this is exactly how Bellicheck played UNC, when he retires his boy is head coach in waiting

This is odd

Not really. Dude is gonna run for office and wanted to get his boy a job. Apparently doesn’t believe Stevie can get a big boy job all by himself.

Switch churches

I live in Georgia, they're all puppy fans. Guess I'll just move

 

[joevol33]

Cult?

Nah, I live down here

This is why you don’t hire a low character coach. Forcing Auburn’s hand.

Pearl lovers not gonna want to believe that Bruce has always been planning this and the main reason for this timing is specifically to give his son the job as a tryout.

Uhh..why not be happy for him? Maybe he's changed?!

Politics. I'm out.

Stephen played at TN.

I don't follow college basketball that closely, who do you think is the best coach available right now for HC at AU?

Goober nepo baby that had to have his daddy hand him a job.

Shady work by Bruce which isn’t surprising.

But maybe Stevie kills the audition.

Right this second? There isn’t one. That’s the whole point of why Bruce is stepping away now. So they wouldn’t have options.

GROK's take:
"..... whispers in SEC circles (per ESPN's Jeff Borzello and Athletic reports) suggest Steven's promotion could be a "bridge" hire—evaluating him through 2025-26 before a potential splashy external search in 2026 if NIL demands or early results falter. Auburn's booster-fueled budget (~$4M+ salary) and recruiting pipeline (top-10 classes under Pearl) make it a top-15 job. If Cohen reopens the position post-season, priorities include SEC pedigree, portal mastery, and Southern recruiting ties to sustain Pearl's blueprint."

Also….. love the “annual schedule” for the Vols.
I’d say its as “easy” as anyone else’s.

Texas, UF, OU, LSU, Ole Miss, UGA will be the other 6. . .

Correct. Only way to make AUB give Stephen an audition / HC experience was for Bruce to leave now and force them.

It’s been his plan all along. Known in coaching circles. He’ll be running for office as well.

Maybe Bruce Pearl is going to take a couple of years off resting up waiting to take over when CRB retires...

Widely speculated he is running for US Senate

You and Berry are on a whole other level from me. I was thrilled to go 6-5 on Saturday and 4-3 on Sunday. You guys are insane.

It’s all ebbs and flows. I went 4-8 two Saturdays ago. The hardest part is trying to stay disciplined
