Malzahn won a NC as OC and got you to one as HC. That's more impressive than en elite eight.

I guarantee you at least twice as many people know the name Gus Malzahn in Alabama than know the name Bruce Pearl.

Bruce is literally the most powerful person at Auburn. He got in a pissing contest with the university president last year and won. You don't just walk away from that for an unknown.

Bruce also has a marketing and motivation angle right now in taking the underdog Auburn Tigers deep into the tourney, an angle that he wouldn't have at a blueblood.

Bruce is about to be the most revered and accomplished basketball coach in the history of the university which employs him. He will literally be at the top of the list. Don't underestimate the value of that.
