Agreed over rated. Has done nothing at Alabama. I say go after a guy that wants to stay here and not a step up guy. Some great Mid-Major coach out there has to have connections to this area. Sustained success should be the top quality and of course NCAA bids. Imagine if we could get Mark Few...wouldn't happen but a guy can dream lol.

If Harlan help bring in Steve Alford to UCLA. I can see him going after Steve's long time friend Steve Neal who replace him at New Mexico. Also Ben Howland who had a lot of success at UCLA when Harlan was there. And how comfortable he would be to have him at USF.

Howland or Pearl would be a home run hire. Anyone else is breath holding.

#USF MBK job is all the buzz out there in hoops land. Bigger names than I expected want to be involved. This will be interesting.

Like I have been saying, this is not just a good, but a GREAT BASKETBALL job, because the right head coach and staff can build a National Contender at South Florida and that's why coaches want a chance to do so. Even the ones that already have a job. USF was once a difficult place to win at, not anymore, which is why Heath was so disappointing. Coaches that turned USF down in the past aren't doing it now.

Maybe that is because of all the hard work Coach Heath put in.

I wish you guys would do a google search on Pearl.. There are more quality coaches out there than that slimebag... Sad that you guys would rather have a famous face that has no ethics than I guy with a quality background like Howland, Buzz Williams, Mike White, and such... Pearl is a love him or hate him guy and I don't think he has a chance in hell of landing at USF... We've always hired coaches that have great values... Pearl would not be one of them...

Former Coach Stan Heath did the very best job he could and has been thanked by everybody. While here USF upgraded their facilities and now they want to upgrade the head coach that will be using these facilities.

Plus we have a new AD that isn't a liability to the university. . . . . . . . prospective coaches are going to want to know their hiring boss isn't a dead man walking (sorry Willie).

I can tell you right now that USF will not condiser the following coaches as there has either been burned down bridges or too much dirt attached.

Bruce Pearl - Scum bag to many in colllege hoops. Sure he wins, but in the end he will have USF in NCAA violations. He had problems at just about every place he went. No way do the big time boosters let him get the USF job. He is out!!!

Anthony Grant - He was a top candidate to take the job after Seth Greenberg left. He interviewed with LRS. He looked at our facilities at the time and he said Hell no!!!! He opted for VCU later on instead. No way USF goes to him twice and take a chance of getting told no twice. Bridge has been burned down, so he is out

John Pelphrey -- Similar response to what Grant gave to USF. John was a top candidate to take over after McCullum was fired. He visited to USF campus and got a tour of the facilities at the time. And he said Hell No!!! Ended up getting the Ark job. It was poetic justice to see Heath make the tourney with USF after being fired from Ark ( Because they were trying to get the Texas A&M coach but lost out to Kentucky so they ended up with Pelphrey) John was kind of had a snobbish attitude about USF at that time, so I dont see USF going after him again. Burned bridge so he is out

Martin - This guy is very intense. He got in a little trouble for shoving one of his players at Kansas State. Do you think USF wants to have another Leavitt situation on the basketball court?? For that reason, I say he is out.

So those are names that you can just forget about coaching at USF.

Pearl is NOT a scumbag. He's a great MBB coach that made a minor error at UT and is redeemable in my opinion. He is the only one you list that I think is worthy of redemption. USF needs redemption as well, so it's a match made in............well, made in somewhere other than heaven.

Why dont you ask the Univ of Illinois about Pearl when he was an assistant coach in the BIG TEN? I am sure they would laugh at you sticking up for him. Also ask Boston College. He is not to be trusted and he has burned a lot of bridges. And if the big time boosters would not give Huggins the time of day for an interview at USF, there is no way in hell that they will give Pearl a look. Sorry.

The violation that landed him in hot water, hosting five juniors with a group of senior recruits at a home barbecue during recruiting season is no longer a violation. You make it sound like the guy was beating children and raping women. You need to take a nap or something, you're way too cranky.

And you think USF will accept someone that has been in trouble with the NCAA right now?? You are lost!!! You must be new to USF cause you just dont know how USF works, Pearl makes Huggins look like a saint.

Perhaps this is why USF can't be a player in basketball. Too many goody goodies in the athletic department. I want a great coach NOT Jesus Chriist to the lead the team.
