I think Pearl is a much better tactician. I think Pearl's resume is much more impressive. Pearl lost his job because of a show cause that most think was too heavy handed. Howland lost his because he's an enormous A-hole who stopped winning big at UCLA of all places.
I didn't think Pearl was a home run, but liked that move more than this one. To clarify, I didn't think Pearl was bad either. Thought it was solid.
Wut?
Pearl has never taken a team past the elite 8. Howland has been to the final 4 three times.
He may be an A hole, but he didn't stop winning big at UCLA. The year they fired him he lost in the 1st round of the tourney, but he also won 25 games that year and the conference championship.

Hopefully, Pearl takes us to the Final Four a few times. I am optimistic.
I agree that Howland has the better record of Final Fours, but why was he fired if such a great coach? Not being an arse or obtuse. Just curious. It wasn't because he was an a-hole. If that were the case, UA wouldn't still have Saban. I think Howland to MSU is a great hire.
