Watching Sportscenter right now and there was breaking news that Bruce Pearl was hired to Auburn. Not surprised that he decided to go back to the SEC. I guess that's one person off our list!

He was never on mine. Dirty programs belong in the SEC, he can stay there.
Mine neither. Beamer and the other coaches have kept the VT name clean so far, and I want to keep it that way.
He's a perfect fit for them
He was never on our list. This is good news for us actually, because Auburn has a lot of money and could of gotten someone on our list easily but they didn't.
Any word yet on whether Danny Sheridan will be making an appearance on the Finebaum Show today? Clearly there was a bagman involved in this hire.
And my dream is already dead.
we'll get a good coach, don't hang yourself over it
At least we don't have to have that debate here. I would have been a big supporter. It's college basketball, there are no priests here.
Only Demon Deacons and Devils.
Thank you for not posting the "Devils" picture.
I'll just leave this here...
We would have probably benched him for Leal anyway...
We weren't gonna get him anyway. Not with his sketchy past and show-cause penalty.

On top of everything against this guy, they gave him $2.2 million annually for six years. It has a $5 million penalty if he leaves before 2 years are up. I already wanted nothing to do with Pearl and seeing these financials just is icing on the cake. Glad this didn't happen.
