Does Auburn Men’s Basketball just have a monarchy? Like… the son just ascends to the throne?


Not sure which is more on brand for Cohen… hiring an existing assistant or hiring Jans.

Tuberville is running for governor. Looks like Pearl is going to run for the Senate.

Wow, thats crazy- just 6 weeks or so before the start of the season.
He oversaw what was probably the most successful decade Auburn has ever had in basketball(time for people to actually look it up and tell me how wrong I am).

That is a helluva position to step into as a son and first time head coach.

Heard about this being a possibility last week. Sounds like he has decided to run for political office.

Are all Alabama politicians going to be former college coaches?
Reminds me of the quote from a great Dave Barry book:

"Montgomery was the first capital of the Confederacy and in 1861 was the site of the inauguration of legendary Civil War coach Paul "Bear" Bryant."

Doesn't a coaching change open the Transport Portal door for their entire roster?
To where might this Transport Portal take us?


...just kidding about the wording
