You have to fire him, you have to

[Fsgolfdr]

I think what you meant to say was that you could state it correctly or you could add up two things that don't need added up in an attempt to make you silly point sound better. And of course that sets aside for the moment the ridiculous notion that you have to spend $4-5 million to get a good coach. There are lots of good coaches that don't make that much, and indeed there are good coaches that don't even make as much as Kevin Stallings. I know you don't like to acknowledge that because those facts don't support the story you are trying to sell, but your feelings don't actually change the facts.

But why would any of those guys want to come to Pitt ? That’s the
point ! Pitts only hope is to grossly overpay if it wants a known quantity . Why would any sane coach with a future want to come to the Pitt and buck heads with Duke ,UNC , Virginia , Louisville etc
Maybe they should hire Jack Murphy I’m sure the fans will be lining up at the ticket window !

That's how we know that you realize that you posted something stupid but can't bring yourself to admit it. You call the other person names.

If you want someone to know what you are saying you know the best way to do that? Actually post what you mean rather than something obviously not true. What I "know" from your original post is that you don't understand the concept of sunk costs and you have no idea what it means to "add" to your costs.

Oh, and that you also have no idea how much money a lot of good coaches make.

Your wrong ,see there’s this thing called google . I just know that none of those good coaches are coming to Pitt for anything less than top dollar . Even then I doubt that any of them want any part of Pitt .
Here let’s make this simple
KS salary =2.1 million
Next great coach =3.0 million
Total cost for head coach =5.1 million
And maybe generate some fan excitement
Or
Mid major coach like Jack Murphy for 1.0 million
Total coaching cost 3.1 million
and Pitt will sell an additional 50 season tickets
Or
Stick with current coach and prey
The option Pitt will most likely take

Your wrong

I'm wrong about what? I said you call people names when you post something stupid and they call you on it, and you did that. I said you posted something that was obviously not true, and you did. And you either don't understand the concept of sunk costs and what it means to "add" to your costs, or you do understand and you intentionally lied to try to make your point. If you want to say that I was wrong, that you indeed did intentionally lie in order to try to make a point I'll concede that, but that only makes you look worse than just saying that you were wrong. Wrong or a liar, your call there. And I said that you have no idea how much money some good coaches make, and since you continue to say that it will cost Pitt between $4 and $5 million to hire a good coach it is pretty obvious to anyone with even half a brain that you are wrong about that.

You ought to take the advice NTOP has been giving out lately and stop digging.

Are so anal , you need to get a life !
I am totally aware of what coaches make and for Pitt to get a game changer of a head coach their going to have to overpay .

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

you need to get a life !

My life is just fine. The fact that you go nuts when I point out something that you are wrong about on an anonymous internet message board is just a bonus.

These are the types of game that a good coach wills a team to win. These are the games where he loses me the most. I get that we are overmatched right now and cant keep up with the Dukes,UNCs, Louisvilles of the world. But, when you are in a close game with NC State, Syracuse, Va Tech..this is where a coach takes over and gets his team in a position to win. It may be with certain plays, certain lineup combinations, certain defense, a timeout, a good pep talk, you have to get your team to the finish line last night. What happened instead? We blew a 15 point lead, a 10 point halftime lead, and a late 8 point lead. We were sloppy with the ball, had our best player in this game on the bench in crunch time, and had guys who have no business taking shots, jacking up 3's with the game on the line.

I'm sorry, a better coach gets that win last night, and this is where i don't see the hope for the future that some do. The attendance also plays a part into this, as it has become laughable, but can you blame people? The team is 0-8 in conference, the ticket prices were outrageous to start the season, the coach brings zero excitement.

What is the worst thing that happens? We hire an unproven, cheap coach from a mid major? Whats he going to do go winless in the ACC? We are already there. Is he going to coach poorly? We are already there. Overmatched on the recruting trail? We are there now. I would rather take a flyer on someone who can bring at least one of those things to the table.

I just dont see what the best case scenario is with Stallings. He is headed for 0-18 this year. How much better is the team really going to be next year? 3-4 wins? Does he get a 4th year with that? Cut the cord now, fix the mistake, move forward. H2P

What an abomination this hire has been.

 

[BuffetParrothead]

What an abomination this hire has been.

Yep I think you used the proper word to describe the Stalling hire:

The word abomination comes from the Old French word abominacionmeaning "horror, repugnance, disgust." The word abomination can also be used to refer to a person or object you find utterly loathsome and repellent. If you look at someone else as an abomination, that means you are horrified by them, and barely even think they're human. If you hear a friend describing you as an abomination behind your back, you need to find a new buddy right away!

A team with 4 senior starters who made the tournament?

He’s gone.
We are much worse as a result and TCU is much better.

One variable.
Accept this reality- Dixon is a very good coach.

TCU sucks... Give it up... JIGer. Lose toVandy and every decent team they played but one

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

every decent team they played but one

The funny thing is that you know so little about college basketball that you don't even know that they've beaten two teams that were in the AP Top 25 last week.

Know enough to recognize Dixon was a bum and tcu's going nowhere...which means I have one up on you. Go count heads at the Pete... that's your forte.
