After tonight's thrashing at the hands of Arkansas, maybe those pushing Butch Pierre for LSU's head basketball coaching position can back off a bit.

Look, I'm all for giving Pierre a shot at the job. He's been a loyal assistant and the team's lead recruiter.

But I'm also all for looking to see what's on the outside.

So if there's anything good that comes out of tonight's game for an LSU fan, hopefully it's that the powers that be won't make any rash judgments based on the final month of the season.
