I don't think Trent WANTED to get fired. If you had actually gone to the games the past couple seasons, and seen ADP play in mop-up time, there's no way he (or LSU) would have benefitted from him playing more.
I give him all the credit in the world for the work he put in. I was at the first game he ever played in for LSU. If you would have told me that he would be starting SEC games as a senior and even capable of scoring in double digits, I would have insisted you get drug tested.

So when exactly was he going to work him in the lineup. LSU was a bubble team down the stretch (until the three game skid to end the SEC season) and ahead of DP were Hamilton (NBA Draft pick), O'Bryant (will be drafted), Storm Warren (4th year player) and Malcom White. Were you really going to sit one of these guys in favor of a project when you are in the middle of bubble run in conference?
Don't get me wrong his development has been great to watch. I think he'll at least spend some time overseas the next few years, but he was not ready last year. The best thing for him was practicing against veteran players on a daily basis.
