-Capel was fired for cheating at Oklahoma and paying players. Oronde Taliaferro was fired from Oklahoma for paying players and multiple NCAA violations. No
Kelvin Sampson was canned for cheating Capel took over for him
In April 2010, Oklahoma announced the resignation of Capel's assistant Oronde Taliaferro without specifying the reason.[5] There was speculation that it might be related to media reports that Tiny Gallon had received an impermissible extra benefit from Merrill Lynch employee Jeffrey Hausinger and this was confirmed when subsequently released phone records tied Hausinger and Taliaferro and the NCAA confirmed it was investigating.[6]
Five underclassmen left the program in the offseason and Capel was forced to play mostly unheralded leftovers and newcomers. Oklahoma went 14-18, attendance dropped significantly, and Capel was fired in March 2011.[7] While enjoying a 30-win season and an Elite 8 appearance, Capel's tenure at Oklahoma is generally regarded by Sooner fans as a disappointment. In August 2011, Oklahoma admitted that Taliaferro had committed 2 NCAA violations in the Gallon case
Still think enfield gets offered first. he seems to check most of the boxes that barnes is looking for.
It seems to me that in order to pry away a coach from Southern California ( the area....not the school)....with a pretty solid nucleus coming back.......Pitt is going to have to pay......Likely more than perhaps first anticipated
The question becomes how bad does pitt want this guy and is Barnes serious....or just giving lip service.
I would be profoundly dissapointed if this is THE GUY they want.....if try don't go all out to secure him

-Honestly. I think the interest is there, from Enfield. The question is, who does Pitt decide they want.
He did want to interview with Pitt. He could have told USC that Pitt was sniffing around if he wanted to get a raise/extension. Actually interviewing is different.
