Yep, he had a b-b-q for recruits on an unofficial. He should have set up a sham class so his players could get easy A's.

I know that's the excuse ya'll like to use, but that's not why he got it.

He got it because he straight up lied to the NCAA, told his coaches to lie and told recruits and their families to lie about it.

But you keep on with that fairy tale if it makes you feel better about it.

First, somebody ACTUALLY listens to Ricky and Bubby? I’d rather listen to finger nails scratching a chalk board.
Second, apparently some of my Auburn friends have conveniently chose to forget his years at UT and ALL that happened there, other than won-lost ratio.

He actually seems like a nice dude. Had a lot of good to say about Auburn.

With that said, I wouldn’t care if a meteor wiped out the entire population, but nice guy.


Pearl is one of those guys that everyone hates, until he suddenly becomes your guy.

I absolutely despised Bill Walton, until one day I picked up the sports section and read that he had become a Celtic.

somebody doesn't know the history of his coach.
Zero show causes.

I like Pearl the person fine but the Tennessee basketball scandal was so incredibly stupid its hard not to judge him. If he didn't try to cover it up it would have been a slap on the wrist.

It was such a minor violation that he didn't handle correctly because he didn't think it would blow up in his face. College Coaching is such a slimy profession where coaches make a career of looking for NCAA loopholes and denying illegal activity, he had to believe a backyard bbq would at worse result on a slap on the wrist. It worked out great for Auburn, but he had to believe it was like lying to your wife about visiting a strip club.

Auburn didn't luck into shite. No one else would touch Pearl while he was still under a show cause, but Auburn rescued him and in return Pearl rescued Auburn Basketball and the love between the two is mutual.

I wanted Bama to hire him so damn bad at the time, but we wouldn't take a huge risk with a guy in Pearl's position. He is the best thing that ever happened to AU basketball and he brings more excitement & energy than any other coach in that AD.

I hate Auburn but I kind of like Pearl. He showed some me class last year towards Alabama in a couple of different scenarios. One of which was regarding Fluff. I appreciated it.

And he paid his for his actions for years. Auburn (Jay Jacobs specifically) took him in when no other program would while he was still serving time under a show cause. He'll be loyal to Auburn and they'll do the same because he literally revived basketball for them and he's the biggest marketing tool that AD has right now.
