Auburn Tigers men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl has never really been shy about sharing his opinions with the world. And he did it again this week when he shared a pretty brutal message for United States President Joe Biden and his administration.
On Monday, the Associated Press reported that the Biden administration has paved the way for the release of five American citizens detained in Iran by lifting sanctions on the transfer of $6 billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea to Qatar. As part of the agreement, the U.S. government has also agreed to release five Iranian citizens who are currently being held in the country.
In a tweet this week, Bruce Pearl spoke out against the Biden administration’s decision, as he was responding to a post from Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.
“The world just got even more dangerous by another pathetic, weak US foreign policy decision,” Pearl wrote. “Rather than giving Iran 6 Billion, I would give em a 6 days. Take another hostage and you get 6 hours. We just made Iran’s terrorist regime stronger! Free their people! Know your opponent!”
Pearl has been the head coach of the Auburn Tigers men’s basketball team since 2014. He was previously fired from the same position at the University of Tennessee for violating NCAA rules.
