Auburn Men’s Basketball Head coach Bruce Pearl paid tribute to Charlie Kirk during his performance on Outkick’s “Don’t @ Me” with Dan Dakich Friday.
Kirk was murdered on Wednesday, and Pearl was one of the many sports figures to offer prayers in the immediate demand for his death.
“Charlie was a faithful man. He knew where he was going when his time came. I know that wasn’t what he was planning because he had so much to live for here,” Pearl began.

Pearl then tore the “opposition” of the political attack against Kirk because “they couldn’t beat him” in the debate.

“The opposition draws further from us and becomes more violent. I think the reason they become more violent is that, like Charlie Kirk, he proved every time he discussed and discussed he was on the side of the right, he was on the side of the good he was on the side of exactly story for most of what he was talking about and they could not beat him. Eliminated, they eliminated him.
“Here’s the deal … none of us could touch Charlie. He had another gift and he will be hard missed.”
