Auburn and Bruce are a bad fit. Memphis and Bruce might be perfect.

Hell, we aren't going Big 12, might as well sign him up.

I think Pearl is really good and Barbee is good (considering the job he did at UTEP has not been near replicated).

Auburn seems to be a graveyard, though I think Pearl's best team will be next year.

We will see.

Yeah, they have improved from 11 wins to 17 as of now.

The only lose two players and return their top four scorers, three of which are frosh.

Plus, he's bringing in two top 50 players to fill the spots of the two guys leaving.

Next year he will be judged accordingly.

He made the decision a few games ago to move one of the seniors to the bench and move in a soph into the starting lineup so that all five starters will the five returning next year.

I would trade coaches with Auburn in a heartbeat. I guess that's not saying much since I would trade coaches with a lot of schools in a heartbeat.

Now, now, now, you can't give Pearl a pass, he's coaching at a major school in the SEC with plenty of resources. He's not in some **** hole like Ole Piss or TT, he should have turned it around in 9 months. Barbee had Cal rejects they had to be pretty good.

I just wonder how many of you guys would be screaming for Pearl's head after 9 months.

The national narrative about Memphis is they have to cheat to win. Slime is Memphis.

Nah, they return all five starters (three are frosh this year) and bring in two top 50 recruits next year.

They are set up pretty well the next 2-3 years. BUT, he HAS to win more next year. Probably has to be a tourney team next year or it will be a major underachievement.

Oh, he will win, that is a given. The question is will he get caught.

But, even with that, he didn't win in 9 months.

Wow, Bruce Pearl doesn't have Auburn in the NCAA tournament in year 3? Everything he's ever done goes out the window...he sucks!


I'll give him another year. Also - I'll give Ben Howland another year or 2 as well.

But in time, those guys will have their programs towards the top of the SEC

Also ... NTR

The difference is Bruce can coach, he just has to cheat to get players.

We would have a better record this year than we do now if we hired Bruce instead of Josh.

How do you figure? The BBQ had already happened at the time we hired Pastner. It was just a matter of the NCAA catching up to him. Do you think he wouldn't have got show-cause had he been at Memphis? Heck, he would probably have been kicked out of the game permanently and the Tigers would have gotten the death penalty just for hiring him.
