My brother in law, former president of the Notre Dame letterman's club, told me how much he dislikes Kelly. Says that he is an ass, and he should be doing much better with the talent that he gets. Said that he has the president's ear, but he's an ass too.
This is why coaches do not stay at Pitt

Arizona State did nothing of note before Godd Graham and they still don't. Still hasn't won an outright conference title and his one division title came when USC was barred from the postseason.
You need to show that you can work with what you have before recruits show interest. Purdue was a graveyard before Joe Tiller showed up and started tossing the ball all over. Dude upset Notre Dame in his first season and won a bowl game with some schmoe named Billy Dicken and suddenly Drew Brees is interested. Tiller leaves and Purdue is back to being a dump.
I would like to think that Pitt aspires to be lot more than Purdue in the Joe Tiller years. Actually, I think we are there now.
Probably so. Totally random, but here is Purdue's old jumbotron, purchased for $480,000, at use at a small 2A high school in Tennessee.
Given that Pitt's coaches recently went to ASU and Wisconsin, those aren't blue bloods either, but apparently better than Pitt. I guess that means Pitt's 2 tiers away from Blue Blood. Might be even worse on the hoops side. Howland did go to UCLA, but who wouldn't? But speaking louder is the fact that basically nobody wanted to go to Pitt except a guy on the hot seat at his prior school. So it is what it is, Pitts either a last resort or a stepping stone as a place to get started.
the good news is as well there is one less blue blood these days with Ped State in a tizzy things will get worse over there making our chances better as well
Losingthi skid won't chase any of these coaches away lack of money will
seems like we are in or get some buckeye targets as well
don't think we will be Alabama next year
Pitt is on the rise
enjoy it
Hail to Pitt
Any team that's rebuilding has to work hard at recruiting - not just Pitt. Unfortunately, Pitt made it even harder for themselves by engaging in their self-destructive coaching carousel.
And don't think that the "Big Boys" aren't recruiting hard, too. Several months ago (maybe it was on LOI Day?), they ran a feature story on Clemson's "Recruiting Machine" and why it's so successful. It's remarkable the effort that they put into recruiting: they have a wing of a building designated just for their recruiting staff - many of whom are students working there...maybe it's a work-study program?
Well Pittsburgh is capable of recruiting top 20-30 rated classes since Wanny proved it. Nuz might not be capable of recruiting like that. If Nuzz can win 8-9 games a couple of seasons, his recruiting class will move up to 25-30 rated.
Ummm...you mean like last year? Which didn't even include Hendrix and Clark? Go back to the Jersey swamps and troll there.
