I would make a call to Calipari

[Sean Miller Fan]

What would it hurt?

Here's my pitch:

- You are doing great things at a blue blood. But you're from Pittsburgh, come home and be a Pittsburgh legend. Mario. Crosby. Clemente. Dorsett. Marino. Bradshaw. Roethlisberger. Calipari.

- You need a new challenge. Can you bring multiple McD AAs to Pitt? Can you out-recruit Duke and UNC at Pitt?

- You have a great gig at UK and can ride into the sunset but you can do something special for your hometown. Does that mean anything to you?

As for the money, he makes an insane amount but Pitt would figure out a way to come up with the money. You cant put a price on what Cal brings.

Its worth a call.

More realistic choice is pitino after he gets canned from Louisville

Just made a call to my psychiatrist
Shall I put you on hold?

Only if Cal agrees to hire JayPa as his head assistant!

Would you call bobby knight too?

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

Calipari would hang up laughing so hard he'd have tears.

 

[Piranha]

Thank You - I am laughing so hard I am crying.

 

[pittizit]

Antigua then..lol

 

[KiwiJeff]

Have Gonzaga come here to play make up game, kidnap Mark Few, brainwash him, voila, new coach.

Rewind a month or 2 ago when I posted Dixon could leave for TCU. Same responses as this post will get.

 

[Piranha]

Dave Chappelle has nothing on this thread. Freaking Awesome!

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

I wonder if Dave Bliss would come here.

 

[JD1976]

LOL leave Kentucky for Pitt just for the challenge.

Cal couldn't make it to the sweet 16 without 4 first round draft choices and he ain't getting 4 first round draft choices here.

Wow I think you topped your dumbest post ever. They have a better chance at James Naismith.

 

[Fsgolfdr]

How can anyone really take anything you post seriously again.

 

[PHATWOOD]

SMF, please, stop.

No one is in the mood for your inane rantings for the next however many days (and maybe many more based on what happens) right now.

Why does the come home to Pittsburgh slant ALWAYS pop up on this board?? I suppose we will also ask for the obligatory HOME DISCOUNT that come with every sports figure who is from here played here or coached here any one time. Hey he's from da Burgh....Let's ask an 8 mill a year coach to coach here for 2.5 mill because the Burgh is so special. The Burgh is special to me, but people want PAID.....

 

[Somerset Panther]

We'd have a better chance to get Buzz Ridl back. He'd also give us the New Wilmington discount from his time at Westminster.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Wasn't there some kind of rumor that Calipari's wife wants to come back to Pittsburgh badly? Happy wife...!

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

In fairness I just realized he didn't say John Calipari. Shemp Calipari? Curly Joe Calipari??

 

[Pittbaseball11]

Brad Stevens might want back into the college ranks. Couldn't hurt either.

Pitt has to swing for the fences. SMF, do you have pitches prepared for other top candidates? I'd love to see your sage strategies. Consider:

• Phil Jackson
• John Wooden's Ghost
• Dalai Lama
• Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior
• Superman
• Flying Spaghetti Monster

 

[BFo8]

Sure but that was at least within the realm of possibility. There is absolutely no chance in hell John Calipari would ever consider coming to Pitt.

[Sean Miller Fan]

Jesus Christ SMF, all of those posts were calling your prediction of Matta coming to Pitt ridiculous. Literally everybody said Dixon leaving was feasible but Matta bolting Ohio State for Pitt was crazy.

Seriously, this is why you post crazy things. You add like 5 crazy scenarios on top of a realistic scenario and then take credit for being right over the thing that nobody disputed.

Matta's situation at OSU is similar to Dixon's here. He would listen.

LO!!

 

[Pittbaseball11]

Yes, I'm sure he's just itching to leave a place with endless resources and high expectations for a place with below-average resources and high expectations.

Once that 2 year honeymoon period is over he's in high pressure purgatory with a fanbase that's been following college basketball for all of 15 years and a belief that being in the ACC and having an urban campus are enough to get any recruit weak in the knees.
