Picture of Stallings asleep while scouting
- Thread starter ratking17
- Start date
This has to be how we ended up with "Chuk"wuka.
The Stallings Era - “Asleep at the Wheel”
We can add that to “Back to the Future”
Why did you hold onto this? You could have saved Pitt millions. Evidence for a "for cause" firing -- sleeping on the job.
Who knows the circumstances of that photo. Maybe he was asleep because he's incompetent. Or maybe the guy was exhausted from being on the road recruiting. Say what you want about him, and lots of you are, but unless you know the circumstances, get off his back. He's gone now and, since the job is open, perhaps many of the experts on this board should apply for the job. Obviously, there are many who could step right in and get to the S16 next year.
BC was 7-11 in the ACC two seasons after finishing 0-18. I expect the new coach to be at least 7-11 in two years.
I hate playing the numbers game. I expect a post season tournament in two years. Why? Because we are better than BC and board conventional wisdom tells me that is so doable with the right coach. It goes without saying the next guy will be the right guy.
I'm gonna guess it wasn't the first time.
Somebody should have let him stay asleep...Maybe we could've won a few more games....

When BC went 0-18 they had Jerome Robinson on the team. He was better as a freshman than all the Pitt freshmen were this year. Two years later Robinson was nearly unanimous first team all ACC. If one of this year's freshmen is voted the second best player in the league two years from now I don't know how many games we will win, but it will be a lot more than zero.
I cannot find the photo.
Can someone post this picture?
Thanks in advance.

There's literally nothing that could excuse falling asleep while scouting at a hs game. Sure if he was exhausted it's understandable, doesn't change the fact he wasn't doing his job though. I'm sure every coach in America runs on little sleep.
I've seen a few coaches nod off before on scouting trips. I've read stories about some of them falling asleep during in-home visits too. Not a good look though.
Lol. You gotta be kidding.
He has his feet on the seat. He shouldn't get one damn penny.
-Well, I posted a few days back I dont think Stallings fully tried. My post was deleted. This confirms my theory. Whoever has twitter, send that to Scott Barnes and his boss.
It doesn't confirm anything. All this confirms is that he had nodded off at the time this photo was taken.
Gar, it’s Artie (cough, cough)....
