Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl has announced his retirement months after taking the Tigers to another NCAA Final Four. Pearl’s 38-year-old son Steven Pearl is taking over as head coach of the Tigers. In a 14-minute video posted on social media Monday, the 65-year-old Pearl says he feels it's time to pass the torch. Pearl is leaving Auburn as the school’s winningest men's coach after taking the Tigers to their only two Final Fours. Pearl will move into an ambassador role as an assistant to Auburn’s athletic director and says he isn’t going into politics after rumors had circulated about a potential senate run.
