Im an Auburn fan, and nothing could be further from that…I just put this on here to get finality for y’all. Hope you land a great coach, because I hate pUKe….The funny thing about this is now the Auburn fans are complaining that they are paying the basketball coach more than the football coach. They want a correction made to remedy that.
OMG, Auburn fans do not have a clue. Bruce Pearl just screwed your War Eagle fund out of millions. Billy Gillespie had a better chance of getting the UL job than Bruce Pearl did. He played you guys and your AD like a pimp in the French Quarter of New Orleans doting the Marci Gras. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bruce, think he is a great coach and love that he is kicking Calapari’s ass. He was never, ever going to be offered the UL job.
Lol genius. No shit, nor was he ever gonna take it. It was more of a BOF, but my boy got a value raise. I’m happy we have Bruce Pearl for the next 8-10 years.

Not trying to spam your board with AU stuff, but as equal UK haters, you might appreciate this….EnjoyPearl and Auburn will make life for UK basketball miserable. I love it!!!
Time to stop talking about Bruce. Hope he keeps beating the kitties but other than that don’t care.I saw it on the rivals main board where a couple of the fans say paying Bruce that much better push Harsin ( whoever that is) to push for more football money. Pearl will be making 50 million the next 7 years.
Harsin might want to have a winning record 1st. I like the guy, and he inherited a shit show, but you gotta do better than he’s doing now. Bruce is worth every Penny, IMO. He could have squeezed more…. $5.4 over 8 years, with a $250K yearly escalator. Got the assistants paid, and a BOF, which is what he wanted.I saw it on the rivals main board where a couple of the fans say paying Bruce that much better push Harsin ( whoever that is) to push for more football money.

He’s 55 and prior to Covid there was no reason to think Mack was going anywhere. If that was his strategy - it was a poor one. Might work out for him anyway.He used the fan base to garner a raise. Payne wants the job. Everyone saying why hasn’t he taken another job maybe he’s been waiting to coach his Alma Mater.
