I'm butthurt about the hire, no bones about it. This was a great hire by Auburn.

It's true that football is king in Alabama. The best way to deal with that:

1) Attack it head on with a splash hire - Check
2) Bring in a guy that excels at connecting with students and supports the school - Check
3) Install a system that is exciting to watch - Check
4) Make sure the coach has had success and isn't a flash in the pan hire - Check

There are no guarantees when hiring a new coach, but Auburn unquestionably made the right move. They committed with a big time hire. My guess is that it'll pay dividends for them starting immediately. Or, well, whenever Pearl is allowed to start recruiting.


Meanwhile, our coach is sitting around prattling about how in year 3 he just hasn't had enough time and his players all suck, meanwhile our program looks like that kinda hot, kinda ugly chick at the end of million dollar baby.

I think Pearl is a damn fine teacher of the game. I also happen to believe he's a rat and a cheat. He'll need to change that. As I said, I would not have been a fan of his hire at Bama, then again, I ain't too thrilled about having Kiffin on the staff either. War Eagle
