Auburn is about to get the best coach they will ever hire OR someone who will sink their program (especially if they are sticking their necks out for him with the NCAA).
Not sure either fan base (AU or UA) should be gloating . . . yet.

NCAA already tried thier best against AU. We all saw how that worked out. The NCAA cannot touch us.

Auburn specializes in rejects and ex-cons. This is a perfect hire for them.

Having two former NCAA Investigators on AUs Complience Staff takes some of the worry out of him sinking the Program.

Good Lord.
I guess you would've made this exact same thread if it was Alabama hiring Pearl today.

I'm on record as not wanting the rat at Bama, so I give zero fricks. They'll be on probation in 3 years.

So it took Auburn hiring Pearl to get Alabama to talk about basketball. That's little brother behavior.

Why would UA gloat about auburn hiring a coach?

There is no guarantee that Pearl will turn us around. However, he is a proven HC. He has proven, more than once, he can turn around a program. This was a home run hire for us. To poo-poo this hire is just ignorant.

There is no reason at all for Alabama to gloat. They could have hired that boiled egg-eating coach from Teen Wolf and the program wouldn't have gotten worse. Any change is a good change at this point for auburn...and the same is true for Bama basketball.

Sink our program? 
The program is a dumpster fire in an endless cycle of mediocrity. We hired a coach that has a track record of fixing that kind of problem. I'll gloat all I damn want to.

How would you rate the current state of their program?

I can sense a lot of pain behind the posts in here.

Depends... Pearl is somewhat capable of coaching at an upper level, but is Auburn willing to make the financial commitment to the program to make it a contender?
Where will Auburn's recruiting base (for basketball) be? Arkansas didn't get good until they were able to get into Memphis, and it's no coincidence that after Scott Edgar (our Memphis recruiting ace) left that the program went downhill.
Let's face it, it's all about football in Alabama. Will the fans support it to the level that it needs to be supported to be a national contender?
Not saying it can't happen, but I just don't see it. We were there for a while, and struggling to get back there.

Do you think sanctions would hurt AU's basketball program as it is now? Unless there is a clause to level the arena, AU has nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Auburns bball program is about as sunk as the ship gets. How you ppl think it can sink anymore blows my mind.
