I can’t believe Pearl hasn’t been fired yet.

I can’t believe Pearl hasn’t been fired yet.

Much to my surprise...I now think there's a good chance Pearl didn't know what Chuck Person was up to.
Court docs suggest Person was just out to line his own pockets.

You're probably right, but it's the optics. Not sure how he survives.

If you hire a guy with Bruce Pearl's history, you deserve to be in an uncomfortable spot.

 

[cuse10]

Auburn knew what they were getting in Pearl.

That may very well be the case, but the precedent has been set. Head coaches are expected to be omniscient.

Doesn't matter. There's the new HC responsibility rule. So the HC is going to suffer regardless b/c it's his program. Beyond that, there will be eligibility problems associated with an athlete receiving extra benefits. They'll have to deal with that also.

Did Auburn approve Person's destination expenses to cut these deals w/o questions shows how loose the rules are there. Pearl needs to be held accountable.

Yep - and in the eyes of the NCAA, the HC is responsible for what the AC's do.

Yes...that's what Pearl gets for having Person as his coach.
It's basketball's version of the Yamashita doctrine.
The buck should stop with the Head Coach.
Let's see how the NCAA enforces it.

Factually, though, it may be that Pearl really didn't know what Person was up to.
All by itself that may be the biggest shock in this entire scandal.

You lie down with dogs, you get fleas.

Pearl has to go.

imagine if every company fired every boss who had someone under them do something illegal.

That Bruce freakin’ Pearl was ever allowed to coach again is all the evidence we need to know for certain that this sport is horribly corrupt and irreparably broken.

The FBI and the NCAA work differently. The NCAA will hold him to the "omniscient standard." The FBI will only charge him if they can prove he was actually responsible.

Pearl was lying down with Pitino? Picture or it didn't happen.

 

[Hoo's That]

I'd rather not see that picture.

Fifteen seconds.

Shocking and ironic, because this time Pearl may wind up getting suspended for skulduggery he didn't hatch himself. My guess is the NCAA will enforce it, as similar punishments have already been imposed under the new rule against JB, Brown and Pitino.

If Jacobs is fired it will be for one reason, and one reason alone: Auburn has lost 7 of the last 9 Iron Bowls.

If it costs the company millions, they usually do.

Do you think that is also Pearls fault? A man with a show cause on the resume you’d think would be extra cautious and attentive to what his staff was into...
