I doubt GT would pay the freight to bring in somebody like Pearl.
They're paying Hewitt $1.375 million which is about half a million less than Pearl . . . and that's after Hewitt made a Final 4 run.
Atlanta radio stations are saying that hewitt has told them he wasn't intrested. He said that he and his family have settled in atlanta and are happy there. But you never know. If GT wants him gone and it sounds like they do he may change his mind.

Hewitt will probably not be gone at Tech. However, every single student/fan/booster (even the AD) wants Hewitt gone. The guy is miserable. He's decent at recruiting, but can't coach anybody. I hope he is gone.
Georgia Tech doesn't have the money to pay for a "big name" coach. Pearl seems to be "big name". Tech would rather pay for a biomedical engineering building than pay 600k more for a coach's salary.
Trust me, Pearl is going nowhere.
What's hilarious about that? Specifically.
The fact that anyone is suggesting that Ben Howland might be run out of LA two years removed from his run of three straight final fours. Fans in LA are stupid, but they aren't retarded
The fact that UCLA would even consider firing a coach who was in the Final Four a couple of years ago and had great years up until now, for one.
