In his first year in charge of the Tigers, Pearl put together a patchwork roster of transfers in hopes of being able to turn the tide of an Auburn program that hadn’t seen .500 in 6 years. The early gamble didn’t work, as a senior laden team could only manage 4 conference wins, and 15 wins overall. However you know that Pearl wasn’t sitting still during his first season, as he was out on the recruiting trail, and building excitement down on the plains of Alabama. Following a successful, although a controversial, run at Tennessee, Pearl knows the lay of the SEC land as well as anyone.
