Auburn and Bruce Pearl have agreed to a contract extension that is essentially being considered a “lifetime” deal.
“War Eagle, Auburn family! Hey, tonight’s a great night. I’ve got a big surprise for you: we locked him up,” Auburn AD Allen Greene said in a video before introducing Pearl:

Pearl had mentioned as possibly having interest in the Louisville job, but it turns out he was just working the system to get a new deal with Auburn.
Terms of the new contract were not disclosed but multiple reports on social media say it is for 8 years.
