Ouch. And that article is from November.
I think we have higher standards for a coach at Pitt now. And no, I'm not delusional. We did it before, we can do it again regardless of what the naysayers say.
Rick Barnes “hold my beer!”I know it's beating a dead horse now, but a lot of what this guy wrote is true. Stallings does less with more than any coach anywhere in the country and he always has. It's reality that he's a poor coach. It's also reality that he will be our coach at least through the end of this year and probably through next year as well. That won't help Pitt basketball one bit and can only harm it.
The only season ticket renewals around me this year were two guys behind, one in the next row in front and two five rows down. Six long time holders to my left ae gone and a whole row (except one) directly in front are gone. I wonder what next year will bring!If Stallings is still here next year, and it seems he will be, I doubt there will be many season ticket renewals. You'll be able to get single game tickets even for the best games right up to game time and at substantial discounts to what they would cost as season tickets. That's where it will hurt...right in the wallet. That's when someone will start to hopefully take action to quit bailing out this sinking ship with a teaspoon.
But it really does depend on how Pitt handles it and what they have lined up before they cut Stallings loose. Those of us who have been following the program for a number of years have little faith that Lyke and the BOTS will make a splash hire. And, even if they pull off a Todd Graham let's say, will they provide the support to keep a flash hire?I am not sure that the alumni and fan base can be any angrier with the situation as it currently stands. The terrible part is that apathy has rooted so quickly and strongly - that is what I fear will make the long road back to respectability even a harder process. If KS is removed (buyout, resigns), some of that apathy will lift. The next coach will have to fulfill high expectations of the core fan base that has remained. Troubling times.
