It's funny, but I brought up the Rick Pitino as replacement suggestion to 4 guys I went to the game with. While there were cracks, of course, about the Italian restaurant incident ("was the restaurant still open when he did that?" "yeah, the other people eating dinner were not amused..."), there was a surprisingly welcoming reaction - he would bring us back to prominence in the short term, others agreed that the press would probably eat it up, with Pitino coming full circle on his coaching career, etc.

If this is Boeheim's last year, and it certainly looks like it to me, then I can say without hesitation that I prefer Rick over Red, Allen Griffin or Gerry.

You won't find a bigger Pitino to 'Cuse advocate than me. It won't happen but we would be really good, really fast.

You know what sucks? Syracuse v. Georgetown doesn't even get a write up on ESPN.

Yeah but to get this game on ABC shows how great the rivalry was at one time.

Unless they can move wingedfoot to Dc I doubt it but Rick is a massive egomaniac and maybe congressional will work for a few years.

Pitino at Gtown immediately substantiates them again. It would be the perfect marriage.

When was the last time anyone in the media has even mentioned Rick Pitino’s name? He’s a pariah in the coaching profession and has no business coaching at the college level. He will never step foot on another campus other than the one he’s on now.

plenty of pariahs have been given multiple chances.

My guess is Rick gets one more shot

He already got it. He's still coaching Iona, isn't he? As long as he doesn't wind up on probation again, then I think it's pretty clear he could make another move. He's already back, and there aren't any people bearing torches and pitchforks in the street, so far as I've seen,

 

[HOFCeluck]

Absolutely.

By the way, with regard to any hand wringing over hiring Rick Pitino - who is the coach of the #1 team in the country? Did you say "Kelvin Sampson". How could that be possible?
