2 NCAA Tourneys in 14 years.
Pearl has 6 in 8 years. 15 in 17 years including DII.
You can't compare the two whatsoever. One of them is North Texas, which had made a grand total of 1 NCAA tournament before CJJ was hired. Tennessee on the other hand had a large fanbase and a pretty strong history behind them and had made numerous tournament appearances before Pearl got there. They're incomparable. It just doesn't make sense to compare one coach who's been at a school for 2 years to a coach's entire 8 year body of work at another school.

well to be devil's advocate, Pearl made the NCAAT in year 1 at Tennessee and every single year he was there after coaching at Wisconsin Milwaukee, who had zero Tournament appearances prior to Pearl getting there. he took them 3 straight years, beginning in year 2.

I like Gus and think he will be good for Auburn long term but we don't compare head coaches who have been in the league for almost a decade against someone who just finished his rookie year here.
The same argument can be basically made in reverse for Pearl and Jones...
Stupid Thread is Stupid
Alabama Poster will Bama no matter which side
Les has proven to be a perennial 10 win Coach in this league over a sustained period of time. He is already breaking in his 3rd HC at Auburn.
Les is basically Like UGA's Richt except with National Championship hardware. Yet somehow everyone wants to try to knock on him.
Only Saban has the right to do that.
