ESPN’s College Gameday analyst Seth Greenberg opened up pandora’s box when he claimed that Auburn basketball head coach Bruce Pearl would be a viable option for the recently vacated Texas Longhorns HC job.

Truly, it cannot be stated enough that Greenberg was not coming from a place of knowledge, but rather throwing out the name of a head coach from an SEC program he feels isn’t at the level of prestige as Texas.

And that’s just silly. Eric Musselman was named as an option too even though his Razorbacks are playing in the regional final tonight against Baylor for a chance to reach the Final Four.
