he made a sweet 16 at milwaukee, 2 at UT, 1 elite 8 in 10 years of Div1 coaching....so ok better than I thought, worse than you thought

Okay, so 10 years Div I, 3 Sweets 16s and another Elite 8. So 4/10 make the Sweet 16. Sounds good. How about the other 6 - 4 more NCAAs, 1 NIT, 1 non-postseason (first year at Milwaukee). Also, sounds good. Conference record? Not one season w a losing record. Wins/season? 20 or more in 8 of 10.

too much baggage is my main point, not what LSU needs right now IMHO is all

The reason that there is NO WAY he will be hired and we all are just blowing smoke.

Pearl would be a horrible hire. Tenn was the most over rated program when he was there. Plus he has too many issues.

He sold that program real well and put basketball back on the map in Knoxville. They sold out nearly every game as he promoted the program real well. He would do the same at LSU.

I for one would love to see Pearl become the next HC for Men's BB.

Said this on a thread the other day. Got crucified. Definitely agree. BP would fill the stands and we'd compete day 1
