There has been a lot of departures of long-time athletic department coaches over the last five years:
Julian Krug (38 years in 2017), Dieffenbach (36 seasons in 2012), Stottlemeyer (34 seasons in 2013), Luxbacher (32 seasons in 2015), Yohman (31 seasons in 2017), Chuck Knoles (26 years in 2016).

The longest tenured coach at Pitt is now Joe Jordano at 20 years, Alonzo Webb for 15 years, and Holly Aprile at 8 years.

Pitt needs to hire <insert Nick Saban equivalent for female gymnastic coaches>.

Just figured I would start it there and we can start with yelling at Lyke for not going all in.

This should be fun.

FYI: look at the 2016 average home attendance leaders in women's gymnastics:

1. Utah 14,928
2. Alabama 12,647
3. Georgia 10,224
4. LSU 9,906
5. Forida 7,532

Where is Jim Tressel when you need him ?

Now we can cut the gymnastics team and add women's beach volleyball which is actually an NCAA sport
