Can we actually play a few football games before deeming that hire an unqualified success?I'd take Shakas top Assistant Nevada Smith. Tempo and offensive specialists. We need to think outside the box like we did HCFB.
Big deal. It's my damn right as a loyal fan to be able to select our next coach like I pick out a piece of produce at the grocery store.Syracuse has been to 2 final fours, an elite 8 and 2 other sweet 16’s since the last time Shaka made it past the first weekend of the tournament.
And he brought a couple of players with him from Iona. I’m not sure why he showed Posh Alexander the door. He was a very good defender and is doing well at Butler this season.He's complaining about his players' lack of athleticism and toughness. He kept only one player from the previous season--Soriano. He brought in the other 10, 11, 12 players. So who's at fault for his team's shortcomings?
They’ve been playing a lot better and winning games since he called them out publicly.Ricky going dancing looks like
The game was so much better when Rick was wearing white suits!Wouldn't want him as coach of my team because of his off-court scandals...but no one...no one...gets more out of the talent he has.
Best game coach in college game.
Still wears a suit on the sidelines and looks good in it.
More coaches should get back to it instead of dressing like schlub football coaches.
And you know Pitino is going to get SJU back to the Final 4 before he retires.
There is no doubt that Pitino is one of the great coaches in the game and one of the great all time coaches. His team responded to him and his team constantly plays hard. He’s going to be a pain in the portal and on the recruiting trail. I would rather play them annually than Georgetown or play them bothWouldn't want him as coach of my team because of his off-court scandals...but no one...no one...gets more out of the talent he has.

slick rick was also hired away from college to coach NBA. JB not so much.Pitino has brought three different teams to the final 4 and won 2 championships. He has a proven track record. Also St John’s has been garbage this century. Not exactly apples to apples.

Cuse
Don't forget to wipe off your chin.That was a very high level game yesterday between UConn & St. John's. St. John's impressed me from what I saw, and UConn, again, has the total package. St. John's looked every bit of a tourney team yesterday, and, based on what I saw, I'd agree with Jimmy Jackson that the Johnnies can certainly make it to the 2nd weekend.
There's no doubt that Pitino, if he hasn't already, will make St. Johns relevant again, and be right up there with the league's top players contending for league championships, etc. Folks around here can carry on/throw all the typical shade, etc. as they do, however, one thing is clear, he consistently wins no matter where he's at...period!
Pitino is not a good person. Glad we never stooped that low.Pitino has brought three different teams to the final 4 and won 2 championships. He has a proven track record. Also St John’s has been garbage this century. Not exactly apples to apples.

funny he's the first coach JB approached when he was hired.Glad we never stooped that low.
The 5th ranked team in the Big East who finished with the same 20 win game total as Syracuse? How impressed are you with Red Autry this season?!Pitino is a great coach. LOL at all of the posters that were ragging on some of his early-season results.

St John’s underperformed so far. Syracuse overperformed so far. St John’s has guys in graduate school. A lot of Syracuse players haven’t even started taking 300 level classes yet.Well, several of the so called pundits have St. Johns in the Dance. Meanwhile, SU is nowhere in the stratosphere of even the "next four out." So, perhaps, that may answer your question?
Yeah I guess we all got our mistresses pregnant in a restaurant tryst and then paid her off to have an abortion(this is not a sermon on abortion to be clear, this is an example of how big a scumbag he is). The world isn’t black and white, kind of a big difference between what you use as examples vs Rick. And yes he is a fantastic coachHa, the moral 'holier than thou' folks here's quite comical. Better hope none of you ever get your computers, smart devices, etc. confiscated.
Some here would cut of their nose to spite their face.
So in your mind, the 20-13 record, finishing 5th in conference, and making the NCAA tournament warrants your glowing remarks on Pitino being one of the best, if not the best coach out there right now? That’s your criteria? Haha awesome.Well, several of the so called pundits have St. Johns in the Dance. Meanwhile, SU is nowhere in the stratosphere of even the "next four out."

Additionally, the win against D2 school in Chaminade doesn't count, well, at least not in the NET.
