Keatts or Archie

[TicoCooperFan]

Tico's sources saying these 2 are at the top of the HC Wish List with Keatts the #1 choice.

Sitting D1 HCs don't like to be second choice so Rich Walsh's irresponsible tweets forcing Sean Miller to tweet out very likely hurting Pitt's chances to get one. Well played Rich.

I dont agree with your premise, but a million dollar raise for Keats and a move to the best conference in the land would fix a lot of those hurt feelings.

-Any Coach you hire outside Sean Miller is taking on risk to some degree. I dont care if it risk in winning, recruiting, scandal, whatever, there is risk with every Coach on Pitt's radar. All of them.

-You hire the wrong Coach and he cant win, Barnes gets ripped bad. You hire the wrong Coach and he cant recruit, Barnes gets ripped bad. You hire the wrong Coach that plays boring and cant fill the arena up, Barnes gets ripped bad. You hire the wrong Coach and it pisses off boosters, Barnes might get the door at some point too.

-Choose wisely.

Archie is not coming here, so you can cross that off the list. He was 100% not coming here before the Richie fiasco and the chances are less now.

That's why he's getting the big bucks.

Can we stop the slobbering over the Millers. If youre going to slobber over a name how about coaches who deserve it like Marshall or Mack....

Secondly if some unsubstantiated rumor about Miller scares off a coach, hes not worth hiring in the first place.

These coaching hires are far worse than game threads. The mindless drivel that's posted is hilarious.

I like keates and think it would be solid hire but for some reason I think it would be unlikely. maybe because of the Louisville scandal situation. keates and wade are my top 2

-We are in a great position. If we hire Herb Sendek you can tell me Im an idiot and Ill change my picture to biggest idiot in Pitt history. Until a Coach is named "officially", nothing is a done deal. Until a contract is signed, you have nothing. Nothing. Ive got all the faith in the world with Barnes unless he pulls some major bonehead move, which I have no reason to believe at this point. Let's remember Drunk, Miller was my #2 guy all along, not my number 1. Maybe we dont get Keatts either. Let's wait until something is official.

-The only gripe where Walsh stepped over the line yesterday, is when he said Miller was more than 50% done deal to Pitt. That's offering guarantee status, which he implied. Outside of that, both sides split and both move forward in different directions. That's it. No sleep lost.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
