InfernoOrangeSS 321 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So who is this Scott Reaves guy? Next time you see a giraffe, thank Scott Reaves. There were none until one day he was upset and punched a few horses with an upper cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBAU83 212 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So if I got all this correct from this thread: - Pearl committed somewhat minor infractions - and will have paid his punishment - Known as a big time name in the game, good recruiter/coach - Has interest in being at AU (as well as other schools) - some of the PTB in the compliance side of the house (to include the guy who was the lead investigator that got him punished??) say he is a "clear" hire Why not give him the opportunity (like we did several football players), maybe, he has learned his lesson, and knows how to keep his nose clean for the future. Sounds like a guy who can still recruit and get the talent that isn't shuffled through the AAU/NIKE system. We need something to fill up the Auburn Arena.

I am just saying that the compliance people need to live in his hip pocket and don't let him get in a position where he endangers Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbird82 160 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Bruce Pearl didn't commit murder. He just had recruits over for dinner and didn't say anything to the NCAA. It's really not that big of a deal. We are in an extremely fortunate situation where it is possible that Coach Pearl will come to Auburn. He is a championship caliber coach and his record proves that. The big deal is he lied and tried to get the recruits parents to lie also. That's all. Not that big of a deal but he did lie to the NCAA and took his punishment like a man. Hitting the LIKE button now,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilstein21 1 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Pearl is also a fun coach with the fans. When at UT, he'd paint himself up and join the student section during women's basketball games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think since the compliance folks know his past, they would be fully prepared to do their job- which includes keeping us out of trouble. If he is signed off on by these guys, that should speak volumes to the doubters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsoauburn 0 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Anybody familiar with Pearl knows that he's not going to be anything to worry about as our coach. Guarantee there isn't a single Knoxvillian on here that would argue this or doesn't want him as our coach. He is nothing short of awesome. There's no question if we want him or not. It's if he wants us. Comparisons to Bobby Petrino? Pure ignorance. That's being nice about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see...suborned perjury by some recruits and their families, lied to his bosses at UT and lied to the NCAA....just the kind of guy anyone would like to have in charge of a $15million dollar business. :-\ well, maybe not.
