But I just can't.

From witnessing him at a disability conference a few years ago (where he surprised a special needs attendee on stage), to him using his voice to call attention to the world's wrongs, it makes it really hard to hate him.

While l still think every AU player and the school can suck it, Pearl, ya know, he's alright . . .

I hate Auburn but Pearl is a man's man. Does not crave to the liberal media and wacko democrats.

He stands up for what is morally right.

He is a likeable disgusting sweat hog. I can see why kids want to play for him

He’s a great coach. Getting a program like Auburn to the Sweet 16 once every four years is quite impressive.

Sarcasm I guess, but it got me to look. I learned that not only has Pearl gotten Auburn to the Final Four once in 11 seasons, but it's the only time he ever got to the Final Four.

This.

Whatever you think of Bruce, and even with his screw-ups (and only a fool wouldn’t admit he has made some tremendous ones), Bruce is inherently a good man.

Sure, he’s a flawed man. But he is most definitely a good one.

I bet every fan of every team not named alabama likes him better than your coach that covered for a player responsible for a murder

That’s okay. I can dislike him enough for both of us.

There was only one perfect man. Outside of Him, us lowly sinners have been chosen to do His work, flaws and all. Happy Sunday, Rant.

Pearl is the best coach in the nation hands down.

Look what he did at UT when he was there. He turned them from a doormat to a contender in 3 years

4 years before Pearl at UT both regular and conference

01-02-----15-16. . .7-9
02-03-----17-12. . .9-7
03-04-----15-14. . .7-9
04-05-----14-17. . .6-10

Now the first four years with Bruce

05-06------22-8. . .12-4
06=07-----24-11. .10-6
07-08------31-5. . .14-2
08=09-----21-13. .10-6

Pearl took over an AU team that had 2 winning seasons in the previous 11 years. They had one winning conference record (10-6 in 08-09) in the new millenium (9-7 in 99-00)
