What is Your List for Pitt’s New Coach?
- Thread starter TheSpecialSauce
- Start date
This is the longest we’ve gone in one of these new coach threads without someone mentioning Andy Toole, I am thankful for that.
Medved checks all the boxes for me, guy has shown he can win, being from the Minneapolis area with the talent they produce doesn’t hurt either.

Sad to say I am at the point I would consider Pitino, no interest in either of the Millers.
Will also add that people were saying last year they wished Pitt had hired Keith Dambrot, at least we don’t have to hear that crap anymore.
I thought it seemed like a really strong hire. And I thought what he did with recruiting in his first 6 weeks was very impressive. Where I started to become a little concerned were the struggles he had recruiting after his first full year.
Voccarro took a lot of credit for stuff he really had no dealing with. Are we sure he delivered Holland to Pitt? Or did he just jump on the pile when Pitt got good and said “I did that” because he was with adidas at the time?
There is absolutely positively NO way Pitino will ever be the coach at Pitt.
I was so unimpressed with Schmidt when he was a candidate. But now that his stock has gone up, he might not consider coming here.
I don't see Pitt eating the buyout this year. That sad, I'm so disappointed in the BB program that I'd take anyone not named Capel.
Maybe something is lingering in this that can reduce the buyout?
Pitt reprimands Jeff Capel for 'double standard' remarks about officiating
Pitt coach Jeff Capel’s remarks about how his team’s games have been officiated this season drew a public reprimand Sunday from his employers at Pitt. School officials said Capel violated the ACC Sportsmanship Principle when he said a “double standard” exists for his team. “There’s a double...

Maybe Heather could hire an investigator to look thru Coach Capel’s entire tenure for some fire for cause leverage? Emails, text message, receipts, anything.
Surely he has to have done something we can leverage.
Nothing should be off limits or beyond norms when it comes to reducing the buyout. He has been stealing his money. His program (mansion) is in ruins.

I’m sure that would do wonders in drawing a good coach to a bottom feeding program.
Hey look if things don’t work out they’re gonna dig deep and try to gin something up and eff me. Should make it even more attractive.
Capel took the job under those circumstances. It was attractive enough for him.
Well Stallings did end up getting a show cause so I don’t know that anything was ginned up.
When he was hired I was surprised and thought given the situation he was pretty much the best Pitt could do.
The situation after Stallings was that toxic, I knew from watching for years that Capel was a below average gameday coach but thought he would recruit well enough to make Pitt competitive.
I was wrong, and he’s been here long enough to show me that the sooner they cut ties with him the better or it will just continue to get worse. He needs to go at the end of the season, there’s just no other way to look at it.
There were strong rumors of Capel being crooked at both Oklahoma and Duke.
People who are crooked seldom ever change.
Pitt should have investigators look into our recruitment of Efton Reid.
If they find anything amiss,they have no choice but to self report.
I see nothing wrong in using our coaches efforts to make our team better against him if it helps Heather reduce the buyout.

Money talks. Sh** walks. I never thought Max Scherzer would be on my Mets, but he is. If Pitt shows Pitino the money, he'd come.
Correct- chances are we’d owe 75% of his base salary based upon standard coaching contracts.
