Boogs v Arkansas

One thing I have noticed going to the games. Steven Pearl coaches his ass off and really does a good job with Davion. It seems Davion has a lot of trust with Steven and Bruce let's his son Coach Davion up.

Excellent point. Chucks exit has brought the team and coaches together, leading to Stephen stepping his game up. Everyone is in a real trusting position. Let’s just say, Stephen has done a 180 the past month. He has something on his side as a coach that surprising a lot don’t, SEC playing experience.

Steven Pearl, who played for his father at Tennessee, was adamant that Auburn didn't have the toughness and defensive intensity that made Pearl's career with stops at Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Tennessee.

"When Steven got on the staff, as he began to have a larger voice, his comments to me about our Tennessee teams were that our Auburn teams aren't any less athletic, and in some cases, less talented, but our Tennessee teams played harder or more physical and played tougher," Bruce Pearl said. "So we need to recruit and we need to coach accordingly. So Steven has brought the physicality, the toughness, the accountability, ending possessions, and his eyes will focus on the defense."

That's good stuff. I remember all the backlash when Bruce hired him, but it seems to have been a good decision. Steven probably understands more than anyone what it takes to play in Bruce's system and can probably relay that better than anyone.
