At times it’s been both very easy and incredibly tough to like the hire of Bruce Pearl at Auburn.
Very clearly the move was a bold one, and everything which followed Pearl to the plains of Alabama has been surprising and almost expected.
So essentially the last four seasons for Pearl and the Tigers have been two-faced. Full of excitement and progress and recruiting wins, full of off the court troubles and plenty of losses on the court. There’s been no shortage of news at least.
As the season was set to tip, nobody quite knew what to make of Auburn.
