Capel - How long is the leash?

[Pittnerski]

Year 7.

Couldn’t make the tourney with a lottery PG and Hinson

Not one change to the staff.

Where do we go from here? Sucks seeing the hoopies and Ville have so much success year 1 of their stints

Do we even have an AD? Today is the first time I saw him at a game. Maybe Syracuse Football but he didn’t even dot the i or give the lego set to the major donor

Capel was just extended in the summer, unless I'm mistaken, so I expect we have several more years of this stuff to endure.

So far imo this AD has been less than impressive. You would think he would be at most BBall games and be out talking to fans and students. Instead he's been MIA.

Well I have no idea what he’s doing. But I’d guess with the new “college pros” needing to be paid he’s developing relationships with people who can donate. Not saying he can ignore what you mentioned, but if Pitt is gonna be relevant it won’t be as a result of going to hoop games and talking to fans/students. It is a visible role don’t get me wrong, but he’s got a lot to do to keep the big 2 sports above water.

His job right now is solely to make money

I hear you but 1 game so far? I think that's ridiculous.

And I hear you too.

But right now, today and for the very near future, what’s more important?

I’d say it’s working the phones and schmoozing whoever needs to be schmoozed.

And I honestly don’t know - are you sure he hasn’t been there? He could be there working the suites/boxes and people not even know I’d think. But again to be clear I’m clueless.

As we discuss this is it doesn’t make much sense for him not to be there as he needs to be working the current donors as well.

Not as solid as it was.

I think I read on here he's only been seen at 1 game, today's.

I get your points.

No one at the games needs schmoozed?

Evidently you overlooked my other post that said he needs to work the current donors as well.

Certainly, you were right on from the beginning.

If he doesnt make it this year, he has to make it next year or else. And its going yo be hard because we lose Leggett, Austin, Dunn, and Lowe will probably be off to the $EC. I can see a scenario where we only return a few players and maybe that would be for the best.
