I know the other thread was closed because it started to turn negative toward Grant so let's keep this one away from that.
Bruce Pearl can coach some basketball. He proved that at UT. NCAA trouble aside, Auburn got a great hire IMO.
But here's what I came here to say: Bruce Pearl will likely use the Auburn gig to rehab his image. If he has the kind of success he had at UT (even in the same ball park) he'll likely only be there a couple of years before he moves to a more preferred basketball coaching position.
FWIW, I'd probably say the same thing if he would have come to Bama.
