Nothing stays the same either you improve or you get worse.
You don't think that Jamies friend the AD at TCU didn't have a conversation with JD prior to their official request to gage his interest. He was gone , people need to get past this unless you want a coach who doesn't want to be here and Jamie didn't want to be here anymore.
Jim Boeheim's record at syracuse has been trending down.
Pitt was able to beat them 3 times this year.
Maybe, their AD should start looking for a replacement.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!
Did the previous CEO get fired or forced to resign, or did he decide to leave on his own for another job? It was Dixon's choice.
HAIL TO PITT!!!
Ironically, JC Penney asked the old CEO to come back to help right the ship.
I believe he had retired.
He is turning the company around.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!
Business analogies to college sports are very flawed. The University is a business. What happens between the tip-off and the final whistle is a game. Too many personalities and intangibles are involved. And, recruiting and turnover of critical employees is much different and happens on a much different time line. Throw in the random nature or "how the ball bounces" and this line of thought falls competely apart.
Athletic competition is much different than business competition. To use your example, in a restaurant, every meal should always be possible to be made in a tasty or edible manner and if the piece of meat or vegetable is flawed, it can be replaced in minutes. A ruffled customer can be molified with a free meal to replace the flawed dish.. In sports, even the best players miss their crucial shot almost half the time. And nobody is giving do-overs when Scottie Reynolds dashes the length of the court to tear out our hearts. Besides, the manager of a restaurant probably has much less influence on its success than the chefs. If a mnager gives the chef too many orders on how to run his kitchen, the chef is working somewhere else quickly abd taking many of his customers with him. And again, in a restaurant, no defensive player is physically blocking your chef from turning the steak, or stealing the plate from the waiter while he's bringing it to the table.
It's arguable that the changes in the Pitt fanbase when Jeff Long brought in priority seating snd kicked out a significant portion of the city's true basketball fans have helped with the decline of perception of the program locally. Too many people just don't understand the differences and try to make comparisons that don't apply.

Dude, get a grip. Of course it's flawed. It's a loosely based analogy, not a scientific case study. The point is that it's always about dollars and cents and when business is not meeting the same standard in the last five years as in the previous eight, changes are made. In some cases bad things happen. It's no ones fault, that's life. You move on....
