When was the last time someone a coach with a show cause was hired? Never?

His assistants can recruit. Kids could still commit here. It's not like we'd be fielding a team full of walk-ons.
Plus, we're going to suck next year anyway. It's not like this is going to be turned around quickly, unless we get Drew and all of his
recruits, IMO.
ETA: As I've stated on here 1,000 times already, he'd be way, way down the list. I'm just stating that if that is who we hire, I'd be on board with it.

Would you be cool with hiring Petrino of Les leaves?

I will say I also favor TIM FLOYD for this position!

I think the guy is funny and all, but that dude has way too much baggage at this point.
This. I don't know if I'd want the guy even without the show cause. He brings a bad reputation with him. I'd love a someone with a similar coaching style though.

For real though, I don't want Pearl to get the job. I've posted my list that we should work our way down a few times on here, and he isn't on it.
I would have him below Johnny Jones on the list, and we all know the list would end with Johnny if it got that far.
I'm just saying that if for whatever reason, I would be behind it.

WE have 9 players and are where we are because of poor recruiting.
It's no big deal.

No one wants to come play for a dead fish, emotionless guy who won't even come watch their high school games.
At least Pearl would have an excuse.
He'd connect with the fan base and he'd get butts in the seats, IMO. And down the road, I think we'd be good.
Once again, he's way down the list.

As a life-long LSU basketball fan, I would like to comment on the coaching situation. The LSU Basketball program has been in disarray since Trent Johnson was hired. He never was a legitimate hire and he proved that game after game. It was so frustrating to witness the debacle of a program that was solid during the Dale Brown era. It has been well-documented from my previous posts from the beginning that I firmly felt that Trent Johnson was not a good hire at LSU. While Johnson might be a nice guy, he is not a good coach. Anyone that believes otherwise is very oblivious to the truth, including our new best friends at TCU for taking him off of our hands.
Now that the Trent Johnson era is over, the water cooler talk is that who will replace him. To answer this debate, there are a few points to ponder. First, who would be interested in the job and why? The point eliminates many from contention. There have been a lot of names thrown out there, and most are so unrealistic from the standpoint in their interest in the position. LSU is not currently prime real estate in the college basketball neighborhood. While it is easy to throw out names from an excited fan's point of view, it is irresponsible and inefficient to the process to do so. Second, which legitimate contenders are available? From my estimate, most of these will be eager, young assistant coaches with very limited experience. There are some experienced head coaches with baggage rotating through the claim zone. So what is better, experience and baggage vs. inexperience and a clean slate? Personally, I feel Bruce Pearl is the best candidate from the "baggage claim" zone. He is a proven SEC and NCAA winner. He is competitive and has the personality to attracts support and interest through attendance. Many will argue about the recruiting ban for him through 2014. So? Anyone who knows anything about collegiate coaching knows all too well that the assistant's role is to carry out the recruiting of players. While Bruce Pearl will not be recruiting, his name speaks volumes from his past coaching successes. There will be a multitude to disagree with this endorsement, but that is just my opinion.
Regardless of who gets hired, Trent Johnson packing his bags and moving on is a much needed bandaid to a sore of failure of the LSU Basketball program. Let's make the right decision and bring back the program to its glory days. Geaux Tigers!

Pretty sure it was in disarray long before tj arrived one campus. Like 15 years before that.

If you thought it was a bad hire 4 years ago, you don't know shite about LSU and college basketball in general.
Also where were you during the Brady era, this program wasnt anything to write home about under his tenure, it's not like shite hit the fan 4 years ago.
I do agree it was time for a change, but it's not like TJ single handedly ruined LSU bball

I hated Braby... but at least he tried. I hate to say this, but brady went around with his players to pump the program up. Trent didnt give a shite. Brady was going around before the final 4 run to give a pump to the program. TJ was a strait up bad hire.
