The fact that Pitino "completely owned us and handed us some of our worst losses" is all the more reason to hire him.
As soon as he came in and won his first big game, I believe you would be one of his biggest fans. That's not a knock on you - but you would greatly respect the change.
As far as the villain part, I would give him the benefit of the doubt for learning from his "excesses".
Ummm. He didn't exactly leave on his own terms.I don't know Sean Miller has left University of Arizona. I think Syracuse should grab him. He is a great coach.
I used to frequent the Cafe Garzone. Not worriedI just wouldn’t sit at a back table at Angotti’s for a while.
Melo!! Howard is doing really well at Michigan, especially recruiting. Melo could surround himself with great assistants and would kill it on the recruiting scene.
the SU administration would NEVER hire Pitino and the Melo idea is, well, insane. I just think we are doomed(potentially doomed) to have Red as next coach and hope for the best. the AD and Chancellor don't have the sack to go against JBs wishes, and I would be beyond shocked if he hasn't anointed Red as his successor

I don’t think that would ever happen, even groobers years the football team was pulling in 20K a game and people are far more resilient with their support of basketballLet's say our average attendance goes down to under 10K fans per game? What happens then?
Melo, with LeBron, Wade, and Paul as the assistants! Banana Boat crew revitalizes the Orange!Why not LeBron?
Olive Garden?Someone said Pitino has been seen in Syracuse a few times recently. Anyone confirm? No idea if that’s true. Just a rumor I heard.
Francesca's.Olive Garden?

I’m just saying that there are more than enough diehards to make 10K or less fans very unlikelyThere are only 6 or 7 home football games, and there are usually at least 20 basketball home games. Our biggest-ever home basketball crowds are 17,000 fewer attendees for a sold out football game. You can't compare football attendance to basketball.

Not sure I follow? 90%+ of revenue is fixed through the ACC payout and season ticketsLet's just say the University has a lot of revenue riding on these next few games.
We could easily lose 5 more games before Christmas, if we don't play a LOT better - Illinois, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Pitt and Richmond.

I’m sure it raises a lot, but let’s assume every single person order 2 beers and pretzel at the game (highly unlikely)That's an exaggeration, but I can't find verifiable numbers online.
The reason Syracuse is always in the Top 10 in revenue per college team is not based on $250 season tickets or the lowest paying of the Power 5 TV deals.
We make a lot of money from game day attendance. We are one of the only colleges in the US who sell beer at games. How much extra money do you suppose that raises for the University?
Maybe it goes back to when coaches also taught classes? That still happens at small schools.Is there any logical reason why being a basketball coach requires a college degree? It seems so arbitrary and pointless.
