Pearl on gameday.

A lot of them are or embellished. It’s how they get shared and more clicks. Too many people get giddy and stupid.

Yep. Listened to the whole pressor. Pearl never talks about UK as a blue blood. None of that was true. All made up.
Yeah my bad. Probably written by a Kentucky fan. I should've caught that. Who the hell considers Auburn a blue blood? Lol.
That's the same guy, not 2 different coaches named Redmon and Ya . Yasir Rosemond is the name you're looking for.
You really need to do a deeper dive into your program. I'm not going to spell it out for you.
I've been pushing for that guy for 20 years
Sapakoff: A Gregg Marshall coaching comeback? Why, where and why not

Tell me more about the greatest College Basketball Coach of all time. I’m all ears.
Just realized I’m in the wrong thread, thanks!
Him, or they need to take a real hard look at Pearl 2.0 in Terre Haute. Just my two cents ...
@Kellerdog I got a text that Fatjohns posted Pearl would love the Indiana job? You talk to him ever or what?
Have they turned on Woody? I remember when a negative post about CTC would have consequences for the poster. Must not have the access they want if they've turned.
He has publicly said that IU was his Dream Job. That was a while ago IIRC. I do know that he hates the Under Armor contract a bunch, has cost he/AU a ton of recruits. (In bball and football). He also wants Steven to be named HC in waiting, similar to Knight and Sampson. Long story short, I think that ship has probably sailed IMO. He would have IU back in the Sweet 16 in 2 years...
Do you know what his buyout with Auburn is? Is Adidas any better than UA? Seems to me it's Nike and everyone else.
UA is a sinking ship. Adidas has a much stronger foothold in youth basketball than UA.
I saw 8.5 million next month. Adidas isn’t Nike but it’s better than UA.
Pearl is 63 years old and makes 5.4 million at Auburn. I can't see him walking away from that.
Pearl is too old. If you want to be right back where we are now in 3-5 years, hire an old man.
He’s rich. We could offer him similar $ and he could go to a bball school and be campus god.
It's not age, it's energy and willingness to learn, grow and innovate. Pearl seems a young 63, where CMW seems an older 64. If someone still has the fire, I don't think 63 is too young. I'm way less comfortable with agreeing to his son taking over. That would be a deal-killer for me. I'd say, well, if you do well and he's on your staff and is your top assistant, he'd have every opportunity to interview and continue your success, and an orderly transition is certainly preferable.
Again, we are only guessing. As AD you've got to sit down with every candidate and hear their "vision" for IU and what/when they think they can accomplish and also hear their explanations for your concerns about their history/experience.
I don't think the motivation would be exclusively money. If he feels he can't recruit to AU or not get them to that elite plane, it's possible he might feel that he could do that at IU. There are advantages to being at a football first school in that it deflects some criticism, but it will also always be the first to get $$ and support that might otherwise go to the bball program. At IU, those dollars are going to go to bball first generally. At Auburn, he's always going to be 3rd fiddle: Football first, spring football second, then basketball third.
Maybe he’d see it as one last shot at getting a title in that 4-5 year window?🤷

Exactly, it’s not age at all. Calipari is Woody’s age, can’t stand the dude but look at his passion and energy!
Please don’t mistake that for a positive comment about Calipari, I really don’t like him.
