Go ahead and mark Bruce Pearl’s name off Louisville’s list of potential head coaches.
In a video posted to Twitter by Auburn athletic director Allen Greene, he announced that the program “locked him up”, referring to Pearl, who will remain as the Tigers head men’s basketball coach. Pearl has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the head coaching job at Louisville, which recently became available after the Cardinals parted ways with Chris Mack. UL reportedly reached out to Pearl on Thursday.
Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports that the new deal can keep Pearl at Auburn for the next eight years.
