I have had my fill of Trent Johnson. I have been following LSU basketball since 1985, and this is the worst team I have ever witnessed play. I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of Johnson. I witnessed the Vandy game in the PMAC. What a joke! The man does NOT coach his players. He sits there and allows the train wreck to happen without making any effort to coach the players out of the bad situation. His use of timeout management is full of errors. The man gets paid to coach, yet he just sits there. As a fan and diehard supporter of LSU basketball, I am appalled by the lack.of effectiveness that this coach brings to his players. He has not had any real success since he arrived in Red Stick, and it is time to pack his bags and send him on his way back to the west coast. We had no problem packing John Brady's bags for him when he had a horrible year when his players were plagued with injuries. This, of course, happening the year after he led them to the Final Four!

So who should be the next hire? Bruce Pearl. He wins. He built a successful program at Tennessee. He recruits well. He coaches with passion. He will build a solid program at LSU. I have looked at the NCAA violation in regards to the Barbeque. Not legal, but hey, we are talking chicken and ribs, and not houses and sports cars! His main vilolation was lying to the NCAA about it. Tennessee AD has had a history of running coaches out if town, such as Fulmer and Pearl. Who is next? Pat Summit??? My vote is for us to rebuild LSU basketball now and hire Bruce Pearl.

Yeah, Pearl wins because he cheats. UT statement said he committed another violation within the last month. No thanks.

I'd love him here. We'd at least not be a joke and he will play clean b/c he knows he'll be watched under a microscope.

LSU has a coach for another year no matter who has had their "fill of Trent Johnson" and who hasn't.

I would suggest we support the guy we have and hold our water till we see what happens next year, but each to our own.

No. We can do better than Bruce Pearl. With all these NCAA violations, I'd have to go with someone else.

it's not even about ethics

dez bryant lied to the NCAA, he gets suspended an entire season. explain to me how coaches arent held to an even hire standard. wait, i know the answer, the NCAA doesnt actually care about cheating, they only want you to think they do

pearl should be fired and banned for at least a year, so should jim tressel

Yes, UT statement said another "minor infraction." Please explain to me how having high school juniors over to his house for a barbeque is cheating. The man is a good coach, hard worker, passionate about building a winning program, and is human. He made a mistake. He didn't buy players, commit murder, and deal drugs. Some of you make mountains out of mole hills!

the fact that he broke such "minor"rules shows a lack of attention to detail, negligence, and overall stupidity

He did enough to get his arse fired after building a program that's enough of a red flag for me.

I think Bruce Pearl is going to get what's coming.

I agree about Tressel though. He knew the whole time what was going on and didn't do anything about it. He needs harsher punishment.
