I wonder what would happen if someone did hire him and then NCAA hit him with a show-cause penalty.

Hello FAU

He'd fit well with the minutemen

I'm surprised Auburn hasn't already hired him as their head coach in waiting.

I think that school would be SOL and looking for a new coach.

 

[Scooch]

Hahahaha.

Please, tell me more about “student athletes” and how college athletics is not solely a greed driven business.

i get the joke but i think this actually is the gig that makes the most sense if he can somehow convince the commonwealth to hire him. It's a school that has done zip since calipari left and he is A) an alum B) a name brand.

I think both would be served here.

If Pitino gets hired it will be by an SEC athletic factory desperate to make a splash in basketball. UNLV used to hire outlaws but that seems to have changed.

It's nice to see Pitino taking responsibility with the quotes in that article.

While I have zero sympathy for Rick Pitino it is BS that he is the only HC that has paid a real price thus far with the FBI probe.
How Bruce Pearl, Sean Miller and the other HCs haven’t paid a price.

you mean his "board of traitors" comment? that sounds quite conciliatory by Restaurant Rick's standards

Are you suggesting that it stinks and it sucks and it stinks?

Look, Jerry Tarkanian isn’t walking through that door.

Pitino may come out looking better than some of the coaches that the FBI will light up beyond what we have heard so far.
My guess is the NCAA told them to wait until March Madness was over to finish their work.

The FBI works on nobody's timeline but their own.

Someone needed a Pimp?

I think he is the big fish and this fizzles away with a much smaller bang compared to the opening press conference.

The board of traitors comment is bizarre - who are they traitors to?

Him. He is an egomaniac with a persecution complex

 

[kingtidge]

waiting for when he runs out of money...

...and he's back in the white suit with a paste-on stache and soul patch in a KFC commercial.
