Only at Pitt could we hire a coach that was about to get fired

[UPitt '89]

Vanderbilt was on the verge of firing Stallings.

They were BEGGING for a school to come take him off their hands so they wouldn't have to pay the buyout.



I thought we had smart leadership in place now? That's what everybody said.


We can't get out of our own way. Finally get the football program on an upward trajectory, and we blow up the basketball program in one week.


We will look back on the past 15 years and wonder how we ended up with Willard Years Part II at the end of it.

-Flood the Social Media Channels.

You should be emailing Barnes and Gallagher. I already did and so did all of my friends.

We need to stop this.

-Flood the information everywhere on Stallings. If Barnes really hires this guy, Everyone in Pittsburgh is going to know how big of a jackass he really is.

How did he get hired without being interviewed. That's my question!!!

 

[Las Panteras]

I was hoping we were returning to football glory.....if Stallings is here we will lose both jeters....a short term collateral damage.

But the pete will be empty when recruits come on visits. This......is troublesome.

How can Narduzzi be enthusiastic about this?

Is Barnes really this blind???

^^^^this....the institutional memory of the Pitt Atheletic Dept is STUPIDITY and seemingly can't be scrubbed^^^^

Unless of course this story is false .....then never mind
