His best move was hiring Bruce Pearl.

Personally, I would like to see the ath dept move to a more business approach... but if that happens people will still bitch, I have no doubt.

It's not like Jacobs lured Pearl away from another program though. We just happened to be open right when Pearl was allowed to get back into coaching. He was an obvious choice and easy get.

If Bama fired Grant a year earlier and Auburn waited a year to fire Barbee, then Pearl would be in Tuscaloosa right now. And Jacobs wouldn't have the creativity to go out and find somebody not obvious like Avery Johnson.
