not because Auburn is a new powerhouse like some seem to believe on here lol
Auburn’s well on its way to a third SEC title in the last 5 seasons. They very well could’ve won the SEC Tournament as a #2 seed in 2020 if the pandemic didn’t cancel it.

You're not wrong. But it's not like the NCAA has dropped the hammer on the other schools that have had the same infractions.
My comment didn't really have much to do with the pending NCAA issues. UL has no stability anywhere within the entire university. From the board, to the president, and the AD. And that instability isn't just caused by turnover. It is a shitshow. The NCAA stuff is just another layer.
I'm not saying it is a sure fire deal breaker, but UL is in a very bad position currently, even outside of athletics.

I was born in the 80s and I've seen the following national titles
Duke (5) (3 national titles & 4 Final Fours since 2000)
North Carolina (4) (3 national titles & 6 Final Fours since 2000)
Kentucky (3) (1 national title & 4 Final Fours since 2000)
Kansas (1) (1 national title & 5 Final Fours since 2000)
UCLA (1) (0 national titles & 4 Final Fours since 2000)
Louisville (1) (1 national title & 3 Final Fours since 2000)
Indiana (0) (0 national titles & 1 Final Four since 2000)
The only blue blood that hasn't won a title during a portion of my lifetime that I remember is Indiana. All of them have been to at least 3 or 4 final fours in my lifetime (most of them more than that).
Blue bloods in basketball, on whole, have faired much better than blue bloods in football in the 2000s.

The real question is. Is Auburn a stepping stone or a destination job?
Then pose the same question about Louisville.
I think he could retire at Auburn and be happy with that,but the guy is a builder he might want another challenge? Who knows.

Do you really believe Auburn is the top program in the SEC?? Talk about delusional.

What a dumb statement. Just look at the TV ratings. Duke and Kentucky alone make up 7 of the top 10 games watched this year
What were those matchups? TV is so diluted by games today, it is all about matchups and not name recognition. Duke is a top 5 program and UK did play a top 5 program. What were the top 10 games ?

I think it depends on the coach. For a 61 year old who's in his 8th season I would say it's a destination. Now a 30 year old takes over and he has ties to another program (playing or coaching) then maybe it's a stepping stone.
But Louisville isn't KU, UK, UNC, Duke, or UCLA either. They have a much richer history than Auburn (most schools do) but that isn't currently the situation.

Yea, and Indiana won in 1987, but I don't remember either of those. My first real memories were roughly 91/92. That's what I meant by "seen" (not exactly well phrased
).This post was edited on 1/27/22 at 12:38 pm

Pearl has built Auburn into a program that can compete with anybody in the nation. Why leave? Just so he can say he coached at Louisville?
Saying you had success at Louisville means a lot more than Auburn. No one cares about Auburn. Auburn is no different than Dayton, Wichita St, Alabama or any other flavor of the month team. Top program in the league and you have Zero NCs and one week as the top ranked team and Auburn fans have done lost their mind.

That is because of the SEC's dominance of CF and how champions are crowned in CF. But in BB you have teams like Gonzaga and Butler being able to compete, Blue Bloods are going to die on the vine and just like in CF, the power shift to the SEC and its mega sports image will kill off some others on that list. That is why it is so important for other conferences to counter the SEC ASAP.

WTF is this bullshite. Same as saying it doesn't mean anything that Stoops had success at Kentucky in football. If anything it says a LOT that Pearl was able to bring a program back from the dead that the piece of shite Barbee tanked.

I just don't see Pearl leaving for Louisville at all. He's in a unique situation in age, professional situation (NCAA) and being at a place where he basically built it from scratch. He truly seems to love where he is and what he has built and he legitimately has as good a recruiting situation and pipeline (Atlanta) as anybody outside of the elite recruiting situations (Duke, Kentucky). The recruiting situation, IMHO, is the clincher here. He, more than anybody else, owns a recruiting area that is as fertile as anywhere in America. He signs an elite, NBA/G-League level player (or multiple) from metro Atlanta 2 out of every 3 years (Brown, Harper, Okeke, Okoro, Cooper, Thor, Jabari) and that isn't going to change anytime soon.
I just don't see it. At all.

If Stoops were to get the Texas job and have success there would it not mean more to the rest of the college football world? Some jobs are just viewed different and carry more weight. Auburn isn't one of them.

All that you said, plus the present situation at Louisville..
And this whole conversation is pointless because Louisville doesn’t want Pearl anyways. Sure, they would love the success on the court he would inevitably bring but they have bigger issues than just winning.
