re: Should we have put the interim tag on Steven Pearl

Maybe?
This year was going to be a mess no matter who coached though.
Many of you have already said it, but our permiter D is not good, but our D at the rim is non-existent. The past 3 or so years we've been really good there and now it's awful.
On offense we don't have a facilitator. We also don't shoot well from the outside. We also don't have an inside guy to go to.
We will be fine with favorable matchups Big teams will destroy us as they already have. This likely won't get better.

Our biggest issues are on Defense and I don't think we can fix them.
We are going to have to score score score.
Not having a rim protector is a huge issue. Not having at least one or 2 permiter defenders who can disrupt an offense is also a huge issue.
Not having a true PG not only hurts you on offense, but also makes defense an issue.
I think we shoot too many 3's with the personnel we have, but I don't watch practice so maybe we shoot 45% in practice?
I will be pleased if we get to 20 wins and a bid to the tournament.

Arizona felt way bigger than us, but really only 13 was bigger than anyone we had.
Our defense was atrocious.
Our offense may have been worse.
Turned it off at the half.
Arizona and Michigan are final 4 type teams. I think we are going to be fighting for a 7 to 10 seed.
We need to construct our roster better next year.

Not bad. Prefer Ole 60. New Ole 60 is great.

I can't think of a coach I would really love to have...but Durkin isn't that guy for sure. He's a decent coach, I guess?
Goulash might be our best option. I don't want an offensive coach, but at least he'd be totally different.
I never thought Auburn football would get to this point for this long. We've not beaten UGA since 2017 and the bammers since 2019...but here we are.

I turned it off last night with about 5 minutes to go in the first half. I knew we were about to get blown out.
Terrible matchup size wise and felt also experience wise. They looked like big grown men playing against little kids.
We have 1 true inside player and he needs 20 lbs of muscle. Big teams are going to do bad things to us all year. Not much we can do about it. We aren't big enough at the rim. Teams are going to go at us all year.
We need better creators on offense. Our bigs last year were good passers. We also had CBM and Denver who were good passers. We are missing that bigly right now. I think Magwood makes good passes and Hall does at times. Not sure anyone else is really looking to facilitate.
We aren't as bad as we showed last night, but we may have a few of those games this year due to bad matchups. It cannot be fixed this year so we just gotta ride it out.

I still think our biggest 2 issues on this team are...
1. Rim Protection
2. Lack of a true PG
We can overcome 2 if Magood and Pettiford play well.
1 is gonna be tough.

I wasn't happy we lost, but happy we took that team to the wire.
After almost losing to Bethune Cookman, I was really worried this wasn't a good team. Our record may not end up being that great this year, but we can compete with anyone and yesterday proved it.
Bench may be shorter than normal this year.
Need to shoot the ball better. We just haven't this year. Not from anywhere.
Murph gotta get healthy.
Guards gotta play better.
Hall gotta get healthy.

We need at least 2 wins from that bunch. Not sure how good they all are to be honest, but almost losing to Bethune was something else. They lost to Miami last night by 40.
Our guard play has got to get better and we need 14 to protect the rim for 15 minutes per game. Need a healthy Murphy too.
We have a lot of guys that play below the rim. Hall feels like an NBA player from the 80's. He's going to get numbers. Murphy will too. Need our 1's, 2's and 3's to play better. Not sure what to think about Jovic yet. He looks like a 3 having to play inside. Not sure how that will work out. SWA is fun to watch. Freeman has some potential.

Defense was not good at all. I didn't see the Memphis game, but it looked almost just like the Okie game. That must improve.
Saying that....we still are going to have to beat teams in the 80's and 90's this year. We don't have a rim protector and that makes a huge difference on D. Teams are going to put up points. We are just going to have to score score score.
Our guards also must be better. 0 wasn't good last night. Overton was solid. The other 2 guards didn't do anything at all. Have to get better guard play.
Our 3 and 4 spots were very good on offense and Murphy played well. We don't have a 5 so it's going to be an interesting season to watch.
Let's hope Reggie Theus has a SWAC Championship level team there...

I love the first album...Last Command and The Headless Children. All 3 are really good metal albums.
I saw them in 2022 at the Ryman. Show was great. Cool to see those songs live.
