OT: AUBURN BASKETBALL

Anyone hearing anything on the basketball situation? Some bunker folks are talking like Bruce may be done.
 
What I was told is Pearl doesn't want to be deposed by anyone at Auburn because he thinks they are going to try and find something he says and hang him out to dry. I don't really see what he could be on the hook for or why Auburn would want to try and blame him for anything that Person did, but supposedly that relationship between Pearl and JJ and friends is pretty bad. I don't see how Auburn can win by forcing Pearl out.

How incompetent are you that you and your cronies fall out of favor with/piss off the one coach that can bring AU bball back to relevance? God I hate everything.
 
I haven't heard or seen anything but damn that would be some shit. I highly doubt Bruce would completely refuse something in an investigation. Fortunately for us I think we pretty much have him pinned down to Auburn and to where he must comply. With his past, if he quits or is fired he can pretty much kiss being a basketball coach on the college level goodbye forever. Just my opinion though.
 
JJ ain't making it to 2018.

I'd be surprised if Bruce gets fired, but I'm not 100% sure he's happy to be at AU right now. Thanks Chuck

Zahn will probably stay if Arky doesn't save us.

Being a boog is the worst
The only good thing is Bruce has that Boog stench on him so he can’t really go anywhere else. We’d have to have the biggest fuggin morons in charge to let him get away but that’s who we are.
 
And I will say probably good we don’t put some interim in charge. JJ deserves to be fired in shame but I don’t want any of our other idiots in charge either.
Right, people too dumb to lead a coup against Jacobs with all of the ammunition he's offered up over the years have no business running a petting zoo.

Can you imagine Tim Jackson desperately trying to turn his interim AD tag into a full time position? Would be terrible. I agree. This eliminates any hire from within the department
 
gang - did we not cover these Chuck singing like a canary hypotheticals within an hour of the story breaking? and how a real program would be prepared for and handle the inevitable fallout?

if we get brought down by some bullshit gradechanging or recruiting violation or anything else Chuck was too incompetent to cover up, or is throwing out as a lifeline to save himself, then it’s obvious BRUCE hasn’t been able to change the culture in the AD to where it has to be to compete in college basketball...

why are these things even a question? they’re necessities... they’re so pointless we shouldn’t even be talking about them in 2017... what the hell have we been doing? because I can assure you it’s not because BRUCE isn’t capable of doing it - but he’s only 1 man

Nobody fvcks Auburn like Auburn fvcks Auburn. You would think we would have graduated from mindless masterbation by now.
 
Game week gents. Any new thoughts on the status of BRUCE and our 2 studs?

AU Hoops superbooster thinks they’ll play at some point as of 11/2. He’s kinda honkish as far as I can tell but he should have some decent insight:

As of today I predict they will both play for us this year. There is much to still come out here.

Don't lose faith in this team as they are very talented even without these two and I do not believe they are lost for the year.

who tf knows... my somewhat moderately educated guess is BRUCE wants to play both - and is working to make that happen... but I don’t have faith he can get it done by Friday

my main questions as of now are -

when will Austin be healthy enough to play?
will he play that night?

I won’t be completely satisfied until Danjel steps foot on the court, and I’m not expecting that to happen anytime soon - if at all... but Austin is the more important piece, and every game he’s healthy enough to play but misses is a fireable offense

Agreed. There is absolutely no reason to not have him playing as soon as he is healthy.
 
Gregors, we might want to prepare for the worst today in regards to our basketball program.
 
Wtf are you hinting at?


Got a couple of texts saying Bruce was gone today. Then, a couple guys on the bunker said the same thing. I was told it was a Bruce vs McGlynn issue, and Bruce wanted Leath's support or he would resign. Some are saying Bruce has been terminated. Either way, it doesn't sound like he will be the HC for much longer.

Omg. I’m gonna riot if true. Full on rage drunk in the afternoon if this goes down

If Bruce was involved in some way with paying players I can understand why they maybe had to do this.

I don't think Bruce is that dumb, so I'm going to say AU has overreacted like they always will with hoops. The truth is that both schools in this state will throw their hoops programs under the bus if it keeps the NCAA from snooping around their football programs. We will always sacrifice them up, hoping to win favor later if we need it on the football side. We simply don't care enough about basketball to fight for it the same way we would fight for football. If this was a successful football coach recruiting at an elite level bringing us back from a decade of hell we'd stand behind him 100% and do whatever it took to back him up. But in hoops we will cut his legs out from under him anytime we see any pressure coming up at all.

I hate Auburn so much right now.
 
I love that Jay started an ominous thread Friday... gave no follow up... was asked about it repeatedly over the weekend and this morning... and is in one of the threads now making jokes and mocking the people asking for updates... all while making no new statement since Friday

dude has no clue what’s going on and is afraid to say anything definitive... but he’s incapable of admitting that, and too defensive to keep being called out without some response

Dude has zero legit intel about B-ball. Literally was on The Rundown talking about how Danjel and Austin would be eligible and then corrects himself live on the show after he discovered on twitter that they weren’t. Dude is a clown
