What does that mean? His name has been mentioned before.Richard Pitinos name has come up in the coaching search.
Hopefully in the “Hell No” column.Richard Pitinos name has come up in the coaching search.
Mike Rutherford said Richard Pitinos name is in play for the coaching job and has been contacted by UofL.What does that mean? His name has been mentioned before.
Ok, thanks "been contacted by UofL" is new information.Mike Rutherford said Richard Pitinos name is in play for the coaching job and has been contacted by UofL.
Well then Rutherford is all over the board, maybe trying to cover any possible option so that he can say he was right when all is said and done. I think I'll just ignore him for now.Mike Rutherford said Richard Pitinos name is in play for the coaching job and has been contacted by UofL.
I really can’t see Richard even wanting this job, but it could work.
Tom and Mark wouldn’t be dumb enough to hire Richard. You saw how Tom handled nostalgia with Crum. He made the right move to the future.Now, if we can only get Mark Jurich to be AD soon….. *evil laugh, rubbing hands together*
So your saying Josh should hire Dick for the moneylenders? That worked out fantastic last time. In fact it looks like those same money folk abandoned that last guy after they got what they wanted. Will be disappointed with another pitino, particularly one who's had plenty of opportunity but didn't accomplish much of anything. But if you do Josh, make sure you get the money first this time.This will piss a lot of you off, particularly those who are not supporting UL financially. There is a significant group of financial supporters who left UL when TJ was terminated, and they were engaged in an unsuccessful effort to lobby Tom’s return as AD before Josh was selected.
Every one is entitled to their own opinion, but if you put aside personal feelings, most will agree that UL basketball is no where close to where it was when TJ was our AD. Losing its two top HC candidates should confirm that UL is no longer considered anywhere close to what it used to be from those outside 502.
That brings me back to those who withdrew their financial support when Tom left; as they are the same ones who want Richard Pitino as our HC. Make no mistake, Josh understands what their money, and their influence in the business community can do right now, and I am not sure that any other hire will assure UL of anything that matches that.

The answer apparently is we’re not a major college basketball program anymore. At least the folks in charge at U of L don’t think so……what major college basketball programs would be calling on him to take over?…
They will if they win. Big if but it’s also a big if for Richard. Richard would bring it earlier I’ll admit.Richard Pitino MIGHT bring lost revenue back to the program. Those other remaining names on the list will not…
The money folks that brought Payne to UL are not the same money folks who want Richard Pitino; in fact those who want Richard pulled away their support of UL BB quite awhile ago.So your saying Josh should hire Dick for the moneylenders?

I don’t disagree. Who’s left on the list Kelcey? What positives does he bring? He’s a big time gamble and half the fan base will be pissed. So if half the fan base will be pissed follow the money. It’s what’s limited us on this coaches search.This will piss a lot of you off, particularly those who are not supporting UL financially.

What if those same donors wanted Tom Crean? Money matters most i guess. Might as well let donors run practice. Tom could get money, but he never let donors tell him who to hire.This will piss a lot of you off, particularly those who are not supporting UL financially.

Wait till Richard hears that he’s not a real Pitino.Tom Jurich would’ve had a decent hire at worst. He wouldn’t have even sniffed Richard, Schertz, or May. Jurich would actually hire the real Pitino at St John’s.
Remember when Mike Shula, his son, got the Alabama job based on his name and failed terribly? Seems fitting you’d use him.Wait till Richard hears that he’s not a real Pitino.
It’s gonna crush him.
Imagine what Don Shula could do for the current Dolphins team.
Damn, forgot all about thatRemember when Mike Shula, his son, got the Alabama job based on his name and failed terribly? Seems fitting you’d use him.
