All I'm saying is that IF Pearl lives up to expectations, other more prominent programs will come calling
And AU will be at minimum $1 million richer if he leaves.

Win/win situation all the way around for us.

Like I said before. Home run hire. I just didn't understand the "he has no reason to leave".

Never said there were any negatives in hiring Pearl.

If he lives up to the hype, other programs will certainly come calling. I would expect Auburn to compete financially with any offer. We obviously can't compete with history.

Are we the end-all for basketball? Certainly not. However, all Pearl had to do was wait another year or so and could have a better choice of programs. It's not like he was hurting financially or had to take a lower tier job to rebuild a reputation.

Auburn should have built a huge palace like the "blue bloods" at Duke, right?
I am loving these outrageous comparisons by Auburn fans.
He isn't comparing Duke and Auburn basketball. He's questioning the guy that heckled Auburn for having an arena that only holds 9,000 fans.

The arena we built is perfect for Auburn, or was at the time of it's opening, at least. We have no need for a huge arena that is known for being great around the country. Basketball hasn't been good in a while at Auburn, so there's no reason to build a huge arena that would never be able to sell out. Bruce Pearl will hopefully be able to make Auburn a household name in basketball.
