Pitt will not hire anyone with a questionable background
a. Sean Miller
b. Rick Pitino
c. Anyone else with issues or associated with a program that has issues
Why .. winning isn’t that important to them , whine all you want it just isn’t

Pitt will struggle to hire anyone whose really hot
a. Hurley will have better opportunities but 3 million + is pretty strong incentive ( if true )
b. Musselman ( my favorite if doable )
Why .. they’re just easier places to win if this is a stepping stone and it’s not an elite destination

Pitt shouldn’t hire a retread
a. Matta ( not well )
b. Crean ( too late )
They couldn’t keep their jobs at better bb schools why pay them 3 million

Pitt can hire
a. Oaks ( my favorite to get the job )
b. Odom
Until announced the checkout person at the Giant Eagle knows as much as all these experts !

Right on all counts
 
Let's just do what I suggested. Pack the Pete. Two hours before the game , draw a name , they get to coach the team that day. They would get season tickets the following year, and 5000. It would save Pitt money and it would pack the Pete, and we couldn't do worse than last year. Win win
 
I think so far Pitt has been realistic. They're trying for the no. 1 guy not worried about the silly perception that getting egg on their face or just automatically settle for antigua is what should guide their strategy.

Is Willard the number one guy ? If we end up with Willard, God help us, they should all be fired
 
How can you say he will have better opportunities,he can make pitt elite if he's a good coach

I agree with most of this. One tbing to add... I doubt anybody hires Miller other Pitino anytime soon, so it's not just Pitt.

Pitt will never be elite , they can be right below where JD had them , but they’re not a Duke , UNC , Kentucky they just aren’t .

They’re both toxic right now and hiring either of them says something about your schools priorities . If Miller can clear his name he has a future I can’t see how Pitino ever coaches again .

Why not 1/30 th of say 1.5 million dollars . You’d definitely pack the Pete .

Winning is very important to the admin--they can't have an empty Pete. However, that desire doesn't extend to hiring a coach who cheats to win.

Perhaps it will be a struggle. In any event, Pitt will be best served by a coach who isn't so linked in recruiting to the Northeast as Hurley is-- He would have been ideal if Pitt were still in Big East but the not the ACC. Oats appears to be a better recruiting fit for the ACC based on his U. Buffalo roster. Musselman may be less so--since he likely will need to, at least initially, recruit more nationally vs regionally.

Agree. KS was a retread--although with a lesser history of success.

a. Oaks ( my favorite to get the job )
b. Odom

I presume you mean Oats (not Oaks). I think both have already have recruiting footprints suitable for Pitt. Oats roster has a Midwest + Florida focus that fits Pitt's geography and the ACC, respectively. UMBC also has a roster that suggests his recruiting footprint would be good for Pitt in the ACC.
