No matter how high Pearl’s team is ranked, no matter how often he beats Kentucky, and though he is fun and charming and plays an entertaining brand of basketball, Pearl has broken too many rules and told too many lies to be considered as a potential coach by a school with a protracted compliance problem.


This is wishful thinking on the part of the writer. If Louisville thinks they can get him, Louisville will go after him. Simple as that.

If Auburn loses Pearl, it won't be because of salary. Auburn will back up the Brinks truck to keep him. But Pearl may well want to be the number one guy on campus, at a traditional basketball power school where hoops rules the roost. Louisville is such a school, and is a real threat to nab him. Don't deceive yourselves on that count.

What? That more teams want Pearl? I don’t know or care. It’s also not really something you would wanna brag about if you want to keep them.

The only people who bring that up is retarded auburn fans. Even last year when y’all sucked, y’all rested on that like it matters anymore.

I do not think they will make an offer. They will want Bruce to extend a demand sheet, because they will want the country to believe they never offered. There are people at places like UL who still think they are above a coach like Bruce. They don't want to explain to their UK buddies how they got turned down.

And yet, here you are. Why even reply in this thread if you don’t know and don’t care? Just read and move on. Yep. Rent free.

Tim Sullivan is far from the end all/be all on Louisville. It’s also why it’s labeled an opinion piece by the C-J.

Ironically, it’s an Auburn guy claiming that UofL has contacted Pearl.

As much as everyone wants to stir up drama and talk about rumors - Bruce and Louisville cannot match up right now.

Bruce has spent 5 years in NCAA purgatory and 9 years with some form of scholarship reductions and a second NCAA investigation.

He has finally emerged and has his team on top with his best years ahead of him.

He cannot be hired by a school that is under ncaa investigation where it could all start over again.

Stop trying to act like you believe this could happen when we all know it won’t.

Pearl and Auburn are the perfect fit together. He isn't going anywhere until he retires.

They hired Petrino after he wrecked his motorcycle. They’ll hire anyone.

Will Wade is also being considered at Louisville, as is Nate Oats.

I can be interested in the subject and not care about the outcome.

Whomever is running their Athletic Department for the time being wouldn't be doing their job if Pearl wasn't contacted.

Louisville don't care about baggage.

1) Rick Pitino
2) Bobby Petrino
3) Clint Hurt
4) ugly arse hookers

Pearl's name will be mentioned for every high profile job that opens up. It would be ludicrous not to judge his interest.
