The basketball program was at rock bottom and could afford to look past Pearl’s infractions. Auburn football still can get much worse quickly. There is no margin for error in this hire.

I think it should be noted that we are regionally outside of Pearl’s unforgivable black eye. He snitched in the 80s in the Midwest. Some people there still don’t like Bruce for that. I don’t like snitches and understand where those midwestern people are coming from. But I was not in that era. Bruce’s problem then is ancient to me. If those people see Bruce the same way I see Freeze so be it. But he snitched. He lied to the NCAA. Whatever. I never saw Bruce as a scumbag. Even today I think he pushes the envelope teetering around the legality of the sport without breaking the rules, but I don’t think he is a bad person for it. CBB is just that beast so we armed him with Rich.

Meanwhile, Freeze was a cheat. He didn’t just skirt the lines of the grey area, he recklessly danced around them. I couldn’t care less if he cheated here and there and never got caught or collected a wrist slap. He wouldve merely been trying. He not only cheated, he cheated on his family. He got his program hammered thanks to his own recklessness. Lastly, he tried to cover it all up with his holier than thou fake Christianity persona. So, really Freeze fricked up in a lot of areas but the act is what I have no time for. When he compared his persecution to Jesus on the cross, that guy crossed way too many lines. Dude was a Jim Jones character then more comparable to a Roy Moore weirdo.

Dude, just where do you think the football program is? I know it can get worse, but not much worse. We are basically a laughing stock right now. Shitty season, sex scandal investigation last Winter, coach didn't make it thru his 2nd season, AD quit/fired weeks before the season started. Before all that, we were losing coveted recruits that WENT TO AUBURN HS, to our main rival. We just beat LSU in Baton Rouge for the first time since Tuberville was on the sidelines. A good season now is beating a shitty LSU team. A majority of our fans are pushing for coaches with almost ZERO coaching experience.

Our next coach needs to be a homerun, otherwise what TN went thru will look like good times in comparison. Of the coaches that we know are available, Freeze is the obvious best choice. Urban ain't coming. He might be a good coach, but he doesn't have the sack to face Saban and Kirby every year. The other names being thrown around are crapshoots at best. Maybe we pull an LSU and get a big name currently coaching at a big time school, but I won't hold my breath considering our history of hires since Shug stepped down. Think about it. Since Shug, our only hire from a school of any significance, was Tubs at Ole Miss. The others were Wyoming, SANFORD, Iowa State, Arky State, and Boise State.
