We will show up if they're competitive.

Why did y'all show up for your football games in 2012 then?

A good fit for the culture at Auburn:



He's an idiot if he takes that job though.

I swear the only reason anyone went to the Texas A&M game was because of the guys parachuting onto the field at halftime

What were the violations he did at UT? I know lying to them did him in, but what were the issues? I forget.

I think it was something relating to a recruiting barbeque.

But the NCAA's lead investigator for the case is now employed by the Auburn University Athletics Department

Would be a grand slam hire if true, the SEC needs more good coaches.

Not legit, but the discussions are definitely real. Who knows how serious Pearl is, but Auburn is serious and Pearl has publicly expressed interest.

Jay Jacobs would go down as the weirdest AD ever

Make a string of truly horrible hires and make yourself look inept.

Follow up by making a string of incredible hires.

For those fans of other teams who haven't looked at our team board, our rivals writers seem to think it may happen tomorrow

Edit...it makes a little sense in that Pearl said he preferred to go to a football school with a lot of resources. Auburn clearly qualifies in that regard. However, he added that it would be a football school that also cares a lot about basketball too which probably disqualifies Auburn.



Auburn was in the top 4 in money spent, IIRC, on recruiting for bball in the SEC. Barbee had some good classes. He just couldn't keep them at Auburn.

I'd be excited about basketball for the first time in a long time.

Seems like its the only sport that just can't find success right now.
