Painful! Has Stallings missed the NCAAs as a Pitt coach yet? Geez dude at least let Dixon's crap recruiting get us drilled in the ACC before you post your hater deal.
Right where we should be.

I've seen how stallings crap recruiting and coaching left vandy with a losing record in a weak conference
I'm saying the talent left for stallings at Pitt is better than the talent stallings left at vandy
Go ahead and argue otherwise.
Dixon's crap recruiting was far more successful .
He's gone, stop obsessing with him...worry about the dud we have
Oh so you are arguing that next year we have an excellent group that should be tournament team if coaching is at Dixon level?
You have it wrong. I'm the sanity check that reminds the idiots that Dixon sucked the last few years. Remember he was given the keys to a top 15-20 program.
Better chance based on historical comparisons.
Dixon is a significantly better coach
Do you acknowledge that Howland handed off a top 15-20 to Dixon? If Stallings as a coach it has nothing to do with Dixon being good his last few years. If I had to argue anything I would argue Dixon guided this program from top 15 down to top 60-75. So Dixon is no Coach K and is very replaceable. I'm arguing the obvious. What are you arguing?
Dixon was starting to miss the tourny and that was going to be the new standard until guys like you called for his head.
Dixon elevated it with his own recruiting.
Had a bad stretch,and still performed better than any other pitt coach.
If you're too myopic to have the perspective, that's fine.
He left and is history. My concern is the coach we hired .
Yep once out of the past 4 seasons in his worst stretch .
I never called for his head ...
I feared who we'd hire to replace him.
My fear was justified.
We better hope we get an AD who is competent, or this will be a fast ride to the bottom.
You're a F'n......... Why would you consider the last 5 years a shortsighted view? Especially when any legit hoop guy can see what the next couple of years look like. Go back and train on the free board.
Your five years is as arbitrary as my four.
Stallings was home 3 or the past 5 and didn't make the round of 64 in 4 of them
You're a ........!!! Last five years pal. Let me know if that confuses you. Read this closely......because Dixon was kind of a weird guy with a different kind of personality he could not and did not recruit well. So I'm not arguing that Stallings is a better coach than Dixon you ....... I'm simply suggesting it isn't like we were replacing Coach K. The Dixon that walked off the court after the Wisconsin game(LOL) was very replaceable.
So while you're obsessed with comparing the two coaches I'm focused on.......it was time for Dixon to move on. And, unlike a young punk reaction like yours, I'll wait a bit to have a legit perspective on how good or bad this hire is.
We good.....,,?
A young team that's starting to gel at the end of the season , that has no chance in the NCAA goes to the NIT and either wins or goes deep into the tourney is a stepping stone for the next season . A veteran team no .
Who was out there ? Your forgetting he had a scholarship at his disposal that he couldn't fill with anyone he thought could help and you want 4 . Is he some great recruiter ? Next year will tell what Pitts recruiting future under Stallings will be all about .
How does anybody know? They lost to the only team they played that had a pulse.
LOL!!! I can't keep track! I won't delete that post. Board humor at my expense. Immediately goes into my Hall Of Shame posts!
If this guy is emblematic of what is behind the pay wall, I believe a lot of folks are being ripped off.
That's how he was sold to us, yes. People like you were preaching for months about how impossible recruiting is at Vandy and how much better he'd do here.
I'd think that recruiting to Pitt should be easier , less stringent academic enviorment and better league . We know what the previous staff did and as I said this next class will tell us everything we need to know .
Your suggestion of jettison 4 players to sign four new players that he felt wouldn't help doesn't make any sense .
You'd think that and you'd be wrong.
This next class tells us he's recruiting the same type of players at Pitt that he recruited at vandy.
