Having a big history in the SEC isn't that big of a deal when it comes to basketball.

I am completely satisfied with the work that Pearl has done. We were basically a HS team playing against experienced SEC teams this year. Future is bright. Pearl will get us to the tourney.

Definitely not on the hot seat yet. Recruiting too well not to give his players a chance to succeed under him.

But ours is much more impressive when compared to Auburn's.

Of course, never said it wasn't, that's not really something to brag about.

I'm not satisfied with what Pearl has done

That said, if Auburn fires Pearl, just shut it down. So in lieu of that, Pearl will probably get a pass from me for as long as he wants to be here.

If we are going to lose, I'd rather lose with someone as fun as Pearl. Given how bad Auburn basketball traditionally is, I'm going to say I'd be happy with Pearl as long as he'll have us.


Let's be real, despite rule changes, changing game and other factors, Bruce not winning at AU says more about Auburn than Bruce

If being 34th in all time wins (3rd in the SEC behind Kentucky and Arkansas) and tied for 27th all time in winning % is short bus material I'll take it.

Firing Pearl this year or next year would be a mistake

Who else could they get to coach it if they're willing to part ways with an established coach like Pearl?

Auburn's ride or die with Pearl, which will probably be paying off next year with a much better season.

If Pearl doesn't work out, hell if Avery doesn't work out, schools like Alabama and Auburn should look for the next fast paced 40 minutes of hell coach or something because if we can't win with these guys we truly are coaching graveyards

I think that guy has Bama's all time stats either memorized or saved. He's there to post it every time their basketball history is mentioned.

Many teams can say this. And? Your basketball history/ tradition is still in the average to below average range so whatever floats your boat, man.

"3rd in the SEC behind Kentucky and Arkansas"

Jesus bro how long you counting back to get 3rd? Like since the invention of basketball? How bout you do the last 30 years to make it a somewhat worthwhile stat. Betcha Bama isn't 3rd then.

If he doesn't get it done in 2 years his seat will be pretty hot.

Kentucky is king of the SEC in basketball. Nobody else is relevant.

Florida has been recently, but record-wise, it's not even close.

Should he? No Will he? Yes

Auburn basketball is a shite show and we honestly cant do any better. Who would we get?

He would get fired at most decent programs for stinking four years in a row.
