Why do API people keep saying that the Pearl hire is the force driving Bama to go after a highly rated coach. Bama beat them twice with a fired coach. What Bama is willing to do is bring it's program back to be a national relivance.
I think that the reason we are hearing so much flack from the API'ers, is because Bama has a solvent athletic deparment that can afford this jump. API is not in a solvent situation.
I'm not denying Pearl is not a good coach. But, paying him $2.2 million, how long are you going to keep him? The price for a good coach is going up. So is keeping one.

They want that.

NCAA baggage draws pay downward. Paying him that much when no decent program would touch him is absurd.

Bama fans know this to be true..if Pearl isn't hired at AU, more than likely grant stays 1-2 more years...
quote:What other program was willing to pay Bruce $2.2 while he was still on a show cause from the NCAA? Pearl is a damn good catch for y'all. Good on AU for snagging him at the right time.
The fact that AU made a huge hire forced Bill Battle's hand.
quote:Is that a bad thing? UA can certainly afford to throw tons of cash and extra's to a coach, so why not?
Now he will throw ton of cash out there to someone who will only come to Bama brcause of the money..

I guess that would be better than going to some shithole just to say you have a job. Or was that the great Auburn hoops tradition that convinced Pearl it was the right choice?
It might just be the updated facilities and the overall attitude that AU supports more than just football... Have you seen your bball arena lately? The place is a dump and needs to be tore down all the while you keep adding bigger and better football facilities... What coach wants to walk into that?

How many SEC coaches are still in the conference since Coach Saban returned? Miles/Richt/Spurrier.....is that it?

Thanks for proving yet again that you don't know what you're talking about.

Please continue to show your complete lack of understanding of the situation

Your 5,500 avg attendance doesn't sound like great support. Sounds like a Sun Belt team.

You proved to me I know exactly what I'm talking about... There were even rumors that CG was gonna stay another year up until two weeks ago.. AU winning those games in the SEC tournament sealed his fate... Keep throwing millions at these big name coaches and keep pay CG through 2019 and don't worry about your facilities... Bama bball will never be a close second in yalls athletics program... Too many sidewalk fans that their lives depend on football.

What about their dominant baseball team?
Too bad their swimming and diving has gone to shite.

Highly doubt they are negotiating at this time. HIGHLY doubt it.
