Wednesday night in the SEC there will be a matchup of two dynamic coaching personalities. Auburn’s Bruce Pearl is larger than life and the ultimate high energy salesman. Consider he took over a failed program at a football factory school that nobody cared about. Yet he has turned Auburn into national power that plays in front of crazed sellout crowds. Buzz Williams pulled off a similar feat while a coach at Virginia Tech. Now he is attempting to jumpstart Texas A&M for sustained Betting on CBB success. Williams is like Pearl in that he is a turnaround artist that sells tickets.
