Bruce Pearl is a modern day Dale Brown except possibly slightly better Xs and Os. Both Pearl and Daddy Dale could sell their program to the fans media and players. I want someone to bring excitement to the program. TJ does not do this and if you are going to be bland all business type you get believers by winning....as of right now we arent doing that. If we are gonna suck at least have fun while we suck. I say give TJ one more year and if we cut him lose I believe we could do a lot worse then Pearl after he gets blackballed from coaching for a year.

Personally, I think we should hang onto Trent until Texas fires Rick Barnes.
Pearl would be a great fit at LSU, though, and would definitely bring some excitement and passion back to LSU basketball.

Trent came into a terrible situation. He has won everywhere he has coached. You can't rebuild from nothing in 2 years (unless your name is Calipari)
He has good recruits coming in. He is going to be good. Pearl has too much mess around him, he is a goo coach, but nothing we want to get involved in.

We all know that TJ will be back next year and it's probably a make or break season for him. So this is not a commentary on how good of a coach he is, how long he should keep his job, etc.
But all the speculation over the probation thing seems ridiculous given that we couldn't be worse as a team RIGHT NOW even if we were under the worst NCAA sanctions possible.
Pearl's tenure at Tennessee brings into question much of the conventional wisdom about the LSU basketball program. Some believe LSU isn't a "basketball school", yet somehow Bruce Pearl was able to guide Tennessee to the NCAA tournament in each of his six seasons. Are they more of a "basketball school" than we are? Not historically. Our recruiting has suffered, some say due to the lack of talent in Louisiana. Yet the Vols were able to field a pretty successful team this season with only four players from the state of Tennessee.
Each of the last six years LSU fans have ridiculed Bruce Pearl for his antics and Tennessee for hiring him, yet we've made the NCAA tournament only twice in that time period.
Again, not saying whether or not TJ should remain head coach and for how long. I am saying that Bruce Pearl is an outstanding basketball coach, that he pretty much disproves the whole "basketball school" theory, and I am saying that IF there is a vacancy at LSU in the future, I would have no problem with Pearl being hired. I do agree with the Dale Brown comparison- that he would be able to regenerate interest in the basketball program at LSU the way he did at Tennessee.

I'm tired of bad basketball and I'm a season ticket holder who actually attends the games. I'm in the trent has one year left to earn an extension or be fired, but never want to see Bruce Pearl coaching at LSU.
1 getting thrown out of a high school gym
2 lying about violations
Also, Pearl wore red and black to the LSU/Ohio St bcs game. He flew down after practice on the day of the game with a UT booster. We were at the same tailgate. Didn't expect him to wear purple and gold. I would have expected orange. Wearing red and black, he sided with the enemy against us. Don't want him representing LSU.
