If you don't think NCAA selection committees have long memories, you must be very, very young.

Barbee can shite talk on Twitter but he’s too much of a pussy to show up when UK plays in Auburn. He’s a bitch.

Some Alabama insider twitter account is saying hsi "ace source" claimed Bruce will be let go this offseason

Supposedly whoever runs this twitter account has a history of being right

Time to brace ourself for wild rumors, allegations and "fluid situations" regarding the bball team

If anyone fires Bruce they need to be fired themselves because they will be clearly showing they are too dumb for the job.

Unless Bruce is on camera, holding up legal identification, and his grandmother is there identifying him as well, then I will riot if he is let go.

I wish I could blame something on Bruce but I can't. Literally Person fricked him over from a depth standpoint and this team got mentally destroyed late in the year.

I'll need to see more lol. Arizona's coach missed one game and was right back to coaching. The NCAA is a joke at this point with no way of actually enforcing anything and everyone knows it now.

I'm not convinced. Most of the insiders are people in the community, not people with access to AU admin/AD

I think the community assumed there is no way Bruce keeps his job.

Either way, Steven Leath has to make a statement sooner rather than later

I’ve heard it should be ironed out next month either way. I don’t think Purifoy will be back. I’d imagine Wiley has to weigh his options with his draft grade. Looking like late first right now.

Has President Leath's support on Twitter not been enough? Other than a couple of Twitter rumors, everything seems solid now. The least of my concern is whether Bruce is coaching at Auburn next year.

Eh, just saying congrats on a win doesn't mean much when you've publicly criticized the coach

They have never really any statement saying that they don't plan on firing him based on current information

I believe it means a lot all things considered. Good amount of time has passed since he was criticized. Leath has not only sent support online while tagging Pearl, but he's also been seen in the locker room multiple occasions, and flew to San Diego as well which is surprising. We never would've seen that from Gogue

I'm with you.

I think people are assuming Bruce gets fired, I just have a hard time believing anyone has inside information from a new Prez/AD, at least not people who'd leak info

I know around Assoc AD level don't have real info on it + most boosters are pro Bruce. I think people are trying to play the odds more than have real info

Likely so. I'm sure this administration is well aware the effects of firing Pearl would have on the program. It would be a riot so large it'd affect ticket sales across all revenue streams.

And it would absolutely kill this program for good.

Not sure about that, Auburn probably could make a top midmajor hire since our roster would make a great stepping stone job


I think AUs problem would become that if we hit a home run hire we couldn't hold onto him

I'd love to hire Steve Forbes if we inexplicably lose Pearl...

Just no F'ing way we hire a former Pearl assistant after firing Pearl
