I can't think Barnes is this big of an idiot. He talked to a bunch of candidates who all said no, for the reasons that John Miller articulated earlier this week. The search firm did him a favor by finding Stallings to say yes. A desperate coach and a desperate AD -- a match made in hell.
Nobody Else Would Take the Job
- Thread starter PittSquared
- Start date
Then Barnes is a moron for letting Jamie leave, or for not just hiring Brandin, who would be about a million times better than me now having to watch the zodiac killer coach the team that I care about the most.
Brandin wanted it.
Lonergan lobbied for it.
Both, while not ideal, are better options than Kevin freaking Stallings.
Then hire the guy who has literally given everything he's ever had for Pitt basketball, help him hire great assistants, and be done with it.
Instead, he let a search firm with what seems like a vested interest in Vanderbilt, guide him into taking a bad coach off of their hands.
Scott Barnes should go back to the mid major conference he came from. His press conference from this past Monday should play after after transfer, decommit, and loss the next year or two.
