Well, has to be more to this story

 

[JustPherU]

Anyone on that team we might be interested in?30 day window to transfer.

Apparently he's becoming a politician?

 

[dasher]

Well, it looks like he is going to run for Tuberville's open seat. You just can't make this stuff up.

Sticking Auburn with his son I see.

 

[Cuse99&01]

Retiring right before season starts = no time for a national coach search, which means his son gets a head coaching job at a major program with very little coaching experience. Nepotism at its finest.

Because it's too on-the-nose?

One of college basketball’s most boisterous personalities also has one of the sport’s shadiest pasts.

Makes him perfect for politics

 

[Frozen]

He’s a unlikeable dude to say the least.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Says he's not running for office, will remain as an "ambassador" for the school. I trust him at his word.

Bruce Pearl retires abruptly from Auburn, and he’s not running for U.S. Senate

I only know one very concrete political thing Bruce Pearl supports and it's definitely not relevant in Alabama lol.

That’s one way to get your family a job. Slimy as usual

 

[rhcuse]

Now he’s free to attend games shirtless.
Life comes full circle.

When it’s legal to cheat so you can’t gain an advantage

Interestingly his first job with Auburn was as the assistant strength and conditioning coach. Curious hire, since his degree wasn't in exercise science, athletic training, or any health science field, but instead in marketing.

His kid got a 5 year contract?! What on earth

Haha. Unreal. No head coaching experience at any level. Only been involved in coaching for 5-6 years total (all under his father). Sound like a resume worthy of a 5-year HC contract at a SEC school. When I first heard he was being named HC I figured it was as an interim for the upcoming season.

That’s pretty insane.
