Odukale,Sinbande, Horton, Jeffress, Collier and Max.

That is it. All that Capel has to show.

Who thought this is where we would be?

Anyone satisfied?

You guys are forgetting about getting a new Chancellor too! (Or is it the trucking guy...so confusing?)

No need for that no point, Pitt hires egg heads, like meet your new boss same as old boss , so the cookie cutter Pitt Chancellor won't ever change.....
 
The same fans that complained about Dixon when he was winning 75% of his games, now are ok with this disaster. Very weird.
Agree completely. We could literally lose the whole damn team tomorrow and the majority of this board would claim it's a good thing so Jeff can bring in some better guys that want to be there. It's crazy how some continue to be okay with this mess.

Why didn't he bring in better guys the first go around? These sheep are funny

Unfortunately much of his 75% win rate down the stretch was the result of one of the nation's weakest OOC schedules. One above-500 ACC season out of 3.

i might add that he has been at TCU for 5 full seasons now, 4 of which with a losing conference record and one where he managed to get to .500 in the league. Four 7th place finishes and one 8th place finish in a 10 team league. 5th place in his .500 year when he had some players who were brought in by coaches who were later scandalized.

Pitt is terrible these days, and I didn't wan to see Dix get pushed out when/how he did, but I'm not missing the JD of the last few seasons at Pitt.

You are relentless. Did she personally do something to you? IMO, she is by far the best AD this school has had in decades. Not even close.
I don't want to in any way endorse the misogynistic post you're replying to, but I'm just curious as to how/why a lot of posters seem to think Lyke is doing such a great job, when the basketball coach she hired has made himself a mess of a program after three full seasons, and the football coach she extended hasn't elevated the program in any meaningful way in his 6 full seasons.

I mean it's nice that some of the non-revenue sports are doing well, but if your football and basketball programs aren't brinnging home the bacon, your athletic department is failiing in its most critical mission.

You woked jagoffs are clowns , nothing about her being a woman is about my post, she has been failing as an AD, stop being mindless and afraid to be honest. If she was a man the heat would be the same I'm sure, but wouldn't change the job she is doing, not a good one

Everyone‘s job performance should be subject to criticism regardless of race, religion or gender.

People should face those criticisms head on and not wrap themselves in the protective armor of any perceived protections they think their race, religion or gender should provide.

This! I don't care if he or she is blue, 2 foot little person , as long as she or he is doing a good job as AD, then who cares , but she is not doing a good job , so she can be criticized, we can agree or disagree about her job performance but let's leave all the other stuff out of it, just the merits of the job being done

Ever consider that she might have been tasked to build the non-rev sports where we were basically awful and tend to FB & men's hoops later? Buy time with extensions there and do the Victory Lights first? I'm not confident that the Chancellor has a clue.

Is it really “woke” to have enough decency and respect to not to interject gender into a published online criticism about the performance of a university athletic director? If so, most of the civilized world has been “woke” for at least the last 50 years.

I noticed that post of yours in response to JD's doesn't seem to be in the thread anymore.....

He’s the same guy who asked what the difference was between Capel and Stallings. Or Watson and Roethlisberger. He thinks he’s clever but his act is obvious.
 
This was a pretty good team 2 months ago. Good enough to have been on the bubble if it stayed together — and with its core group with a TON of eligibility left. They could have gotten better together.

So I don’t necearily buy that their wasn’t progress towards were we want to be.

Like most big problems, they are many times multi faceted. There were obviously some internal conflicts, but the force multiplier is the ease which you can leave. That snowballs into others because 1) the going gets even tougher 2) leaving is easy AND you aren’t alone doing it.

Ten short years ago it was like a mini marriage with players. Now it’s like HS dating.

It's woke to pigeon hole everyone who doesn't agree with you or give a shit what you think either! I like you as a poster but my issues with our AD have ZERO to do with sex. I dislike at this time , not personal, professional, JC, PN, HL, does that mean I hate blacks , women and old white gym teachers? What happened to Oats when we were hiring last time , I wanted him , not sure he wanted us , do not know who was contacted, he is a winner , I just want a WINNER for a change!

I think Capel and Gym coach need another 10 year extension


i like gym coach. gave us some good wins. i still think he turns the corner.
i feel better about pitt fb now than i did under chryst wanny and almost walt.

he has built a good roster albeit slowly. i still think he stays along time and has very stable success. 8 plus a year with some good years in there. my bar is too low but you can thank 30 years of thos program for that.

i want Capel to succeed but i really dont think he has it and his asst's will be the end of him

That's fair, I disagree about gym coach , but you made great points and I hope you are right or the whole damn athletic dept needs a cleanse
 
Yeah. I can’t believe Pitt agreed to play next season with just 6 players. 🤦‍♂️
