Breaking in multiple places but Bruce Pearl is retiring effective immediately.
Unbelievable. Who they get?
Been talked about for several months, but the timing is poor. Pretty much forcing Auburn to let his son coach this season.
His son for this year. I see that going quite poorly. Cohen will come after Jans at years end.Quote:

They signed him to a 5-year deal.Quote:

I think Tuberville is going to run for Governor and Pearl wants to slot into the Senator seat. He has made enough money that he can focus on doing something else that might be more enjoyable to him. I always liked Pearl and thought he was good for SEC basketball, even though we rarely beat him.
So the portal opens up for Auburn players, right? We got any cash left for Keyshawn? I'm assuming that ship has sailed but it would be nice to add another piece to the roster.
He can't transfer within conference and be eligible this year. He'd have to sit out. Also, this has been in the works since before the buzzer hit zero on Saturday in San Antonio. I talked to a ton of Auburn fans that night that told me Bruce had probably just coached his last game. It was an open secret amongst fans, admin, players, etc that he probably wouldn't coach this season. Timing isn't great because it makes it look like he's doing it now so they have to elevate Stephen but this has been in the works since at least late July.Quote:

It's 100% to go into politics. AJ McCarron confirmed that the other day with Neal McCready and Tyler Siskey.Quote:
