Here’s what The Hill reported:

The coach of Auburn University’s men’s basketball team, currently the top-ranked team in the country, posted in support of President Trump’s announcement Sunday that conservative commentator Dan Bongino would become the deputy FBI director.

“Congratulations to my friend and great patriot Dan Bongino. The bad guys best keep their head on a swivel!” Bruce Pearl said in a post on the social platform X on Sunday.

“Thank you my good friend,” Bongino responded.
Pearl appeared on Bongino’s podcast as recently as March last year, when they discussed March Madness, the war in Gaza and compensation for NCAA athletes, according to show notes.

Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Sunday evening, “Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel.”

Auburn’s men’s basketball is currently 25-2 and sits atop the Associated Press poll of Division I men’s college basketball teams.

Thank you my good friend.
