Coulibaly started almost every game here last year.
Yea, he can. He didn’t have enough splash for us, but he is a really good coach and has a very good team.
Regardless of the coaching situation next year, we just can’t afford to lose any key payers to the transfer portal next year. Though I am pretty sure at least one will go. Too common now. And I worry about Hugley.
Rocky, I respect your posts a lot. But how could ANY player on a possible 0-20 ACC team be that important.
I like Santos. I think Femi could be a good complimentary piece. Hugley can be effective. More so I know any replacements we get would be worse than those 3.
Probably true. Haven’t seen enough of Santos. Femi won’t be here. Hugley is the only one I think they have to keep because of the inability to get ANY bigs here.
I like Santos shooting form. He seems to do decent rebounding. And I like his size. He won’t be al ACC or anything, but he could develop into a nice player. Not a big sample size. But he has a really nice shooting form. As long as Jason doesn’t mess it up.
Stallings was on his way out of Vandy. Not sure I would compare him and Schmidt.
We all learned a lesson. It is best for a program like Pitt to get a good coach, a tactician, who runs a great system, brings in and develops guys and has guys stay for 4 years. It worked here before. We got a little greedy, but looking back those 28-30 win seasons and conference titles aren't bad.
Even back then we weren’t getting all top recruits. We need the coach you described. We aren’t even going to be a team where a shiny coach will be successful.
Jason can mess anything up. That’s one thing with this staff I am sure of
You aren’t getting a splashy hire AND you’re not getting a top notch up and comer coach when you fire a coach after 2 years. It’s just not happening. Especially at a place like Pitt, BC, WVU, etc.
Yeah. But. I completely and 100% supported, hell was overjoyed with the Capel hire. But with the aid of hindsight, I, and all of us, were wrong. Because of sites like this, we get way too caught up in recruiting rankings and Vader glowing posts. I remember with friggin sheer joy projecting a front court here of Steve Adams, Khem Birch and Dante Taylor. Yeah....how did that work?
Yep. We should have learned our lesson. Of course on that note, Sean Miller or John Calipari would be a "splashy hire" and they are from here and played/coached here.
I don’t think there is any certainty either of these coaches would be home runs at Pitt.
Miller could be your Huggs. Cal would be your Saban.
Pittsburgh has 446 bridges, and Sean Miller has burned every one of them.
Yes. Times 1000. Cal has a better chance of being the next Pitt head coach than Miller.
Cal reached out.....before but you know Pitt thinking they are above all of this. The 80's really completely damaged the psyche of this administration.
You're right. I watched him
He’s not coming here. Doesn’t matter why. He’s not. It’s not an opinion. Please for the love of god, stop.
So keeping on repeating it over and over and over is going to do what exactly? There can’t be one person who posts or reads here that doesn’t already know your feelings ad nauseam.
