Bruce Pearl, abruptly retires

[cliftonparksufan]

Not a fan but gotta be honest, don't have a beef with how he played his departure. Taker care of his son giving him a program that is in excellent shape, gets out while he still has his fastball (or seems to), etc. I can think of some other family related transitions that didn't leave the program in as good of shape.

I do find it funny how some of these big names (ahem Saban, Dabo and now Pearl) are getting out or struggling to adapt just as the cheating is leveling out for everyone.

Here is the official video. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I'm not a fan of naming a successor slightly underhanded. Especially playing in arguably, the most competitive conference.

I don't disagree, there are a lot of talented coaches that are just waiting for their first chance. That being said, nepotism is never a good look, implied or otherwise. The fact that Bruce waited until right before the season is what concerns me. He didnt give them a chance to explore the options.

nah i am in no way excusing pearl or on his side...just speaking generally about "resumes" and overrated they are
