And he will win. He and Oats took the state of Alabama to new heights in basketball.

Not so fast. Will he automatically get bama fans votes just because he is a great basketball coach? There are other Repubs running for this thing. Most kind of cleared the way for Tuberville and he had been gone from Auburn for a bit. Most importantly, there is one really big difference between Bruce and Tuberville. I think if he could get the nomination, he would have it won easy. But he will have a tough time getting the nomination.

I love Coach Pearl. Love what he did for our program and I could never be mad at him. That said, there is no way in hell I'm voting for him for US Senate.

Wonder if Charlie’s memorial helped solidify his decision

I disagree. Bruce Pearl is an easily likeable guy, even as a Bama fan. Most Bama fans are not going to care he coached and won big at Auburn. I don't think he would be retiring if he knew he wasn't in a good spot. Seems like nowadays a lot of people want an outsider, which Pearl brings.

Pearl>>>>Moore

Gumps love their ball coaches

He will win, easily, unless something comes out about him doing illegal stuff (Will Wade?).

I hope he does run. If he does, I'll switch to the Democrat Party so I can cast 20 votes for him even though I'm from Louisiana.

Do you know any Democrats? They can teach you how to do it without moving there. They know how. Since it's not widespread it's merely frowned upon.

If Pearl runs as a Republican, I will vote for him and Tubberville.

Some things are bigger than a damn game.

I’d say even a lot of bama fans like Bruce personally. He’s a hard guy to hate unless you are demonic.

Correct. This would be a stupid thing to care about on election day.

Pearl is a Zionist and the boomers in Alabama will line up to send their tax dollars to a foreign country to kill people.

Wish he would move to LA and run against Cassidy. I would walk over broken glass to vote for him over Cassidy.

He still has lots of coaching left in him. This has to be for a senate run. Might be fun to see him yelling in the Senate with his face getting red like Yosemite Sam.
