Jake on Locked on Auburn this morning. I think he was reading a script he wrote or seemed that way.

Ok I will give him he’s a fan and he lived in the Auburn area. His dad was a great player. But Jake isn’t and never should be the arbiter of what Auburn is or isn’t or what the expectations should be. Granted he welcome to his opinion. I didn’t attend AU everyone on here knows that, you know who else didn’t attend AU? Jake Crain.

He was such a great football coach he became a podcaster.

Granted I get his feeling that when the ring is in reach we seem to fall short or when the expectations are there we seem to but so does every other team. Auburn is no different we are just the ones who hurt when a loss or unexpected loss happens.

All this stems from 10 years of Bama and UGA being dominant in football. I get it but it was still an absolute ignorant take.

I'll give it to him that he is far more knowledgeable about football than the average pod caster/commentator, having played and coached. And because he is more knowledgeable, I generally enjoy listening to his opinions and usually feel better educated afterward. But that is offset by the fact that he is just pompous as hell. Yea, he knows more than me and the average fan and the average pod caster. But as you point out, if he was THAT good a coach, he'd be coaching instead of pod casting. An ounce (or two) of humility would serve him well.

Are we really, though? I think that if we want to know the national perception of us, just look at where we were seeded.

1. We can all agree the loss to Yale was unacceptable.
2. To question Bruce Pearl and if his tenure at Auburn is in question is BEYOND STUPID.
3. Who in the heck is jboy and why should I care what he thinks?

Id say so. Since the 2017-2018 season we have probably been the best overall program in a top 3 basketball conference.

Could Pearl do better at Auburn? Maybe

Could Auburn do better than Pearl? I would wish Auburn good luck on that.

Exactly. We didn't sniff the NCAA Tournament when I was in school at Auburn. I still have to pinch myself every time I get to see Auburn in a bracket.

We would still be rolling TC for winning the SEC tournament and wouldn’t care about losing to Yale if not for the success at the school to our West.

If fact is, BP is getting out coached and out recruited by a guy that was coaching in high school a few years ago.

I really don’t think Auburn can do better than Bruce but as soon as Auburn became a national contender in basketball, the turds hire a guy that seems to put a better product on the court.

It’s like we can’t have shite as Auburn fans. Nothing sustainable anyways.

Agreed… if AU is going to be relevant the team is going to have to be paid by those that can do it

Just remember we pay almost as much as anyone to “get in” the tournament.

I believe Bruce is top 3 or 4 maybe 5 highest paid

Oats is shittinh on Pearl in scouting, recruiting, development, and coaching. What’s more crazy is the rise of moo state, South Carolina, Tamu, and others. The majority of the SEC is relavant. Hard to believe we couldn’t be without Pearl but who knows I rarely trust the decision makers at the top to make a smart hire.

That’s not relevant

I bet you have absolutely zero self awareness irl, you’d be an amazing case study
