Pitino Being Fired?

Well he has burnt all bridges now. I'd much rather see the captain go down with the ship.
They may be able to channel state money to bribe certain NCAA VIP's. They're good at that stuff.
I don't think I want Rick fired from UL. It is not like Rick wins many games with Cal coaching Kentucky. With Rick and friends at UL, it has been a lot of fun to watch the crazy stuff happen at UL. With the dude's latest happenings, does anyone really think Rick or UL will win another title anytime soon? The dude is getting really old and his recruiting is most likely not going to improve anytime soon. Let him stay as UL coach. They really do deserve each other.
He'll get extended before he gets fired. Remember the school we're talking about here.
I am just hoping they all turn on each other at UL & all go down in flames and banners come down. They have to hire a bad coach and the schools goes now in ashes and never returns.
The banner is gone. Doesn't matter if Rick is there or not. Learn it, live it, love it.
1. Pitino either is fired or leaves for something else ahead of that posse
2. Leaks start implicating Jurich and Petrino in other stuff
3. Jurich and Petrino are next to leave, either fired or, like Pitino, just ahead of the posse
4. The baseball coach decides he wants out of the circus and takes an offer from a baseball powerhouse that just lost its coach.
Morgan Freeman voiceover: I'd like to think that the last thought that the last thing that went through Pitino's brain was him wondering how Calipari had got the best of him.

Wouldn't be a bit surprised Beshear & McConnell have known of the corruption going on at a state university & paid no mind to it because they are fans of lou. & supported the yum throughout.
If UL thinks it will save the banner they will cut Pitino loose in a heartbeat. He can't shut up. It's a college athletics version of Goodfellas over there. He's Joe Pesci walking into the room covered in plastic. Jurich they will never let go.
LMAO....look at the hit count. many from guess who.
I agree. Also wouldn't be surprised if some of the $'s that were funneled thru the foundation made it's way back down I-64 to Frankfort.
Nah...they could care two craps about that banner now, it's gone...NOW it's all about re-paying all that money. They will cut his throat to save paying millions

steppin down means the Kentucky fans win. He would put his momma in the Minardi parties before he resigns on his own...
Sometimes I think some of our people still don't understand the enormity of what has happened over there. The University President is gone. Their entire Board is gone. Their foundation is crooked, and all that is just coming out. They are getting kicked in the teeth by the NCAA, but they still have some things to hide over there. Jurich and Pitino will both have to go. It's just a matter of timing.
Any university with one shred of morals would have already had those two out , and they would never in a million years hired Pitrino back !! However were talking about UofSmell here, so enough said !! and by the way Zipp your a dumb bastard !!
Can the governor fire both Patino and Jurich? The state constitution is strangely silent on who has the authority to fire a basketball coach and an athletic director. A guy at my gym said the president pro tempore of the State Senate has the power to fire them. But he is a truck driver and not a legal scholar. Can someone with a constitutional law background confirm his opinion?

has there been any communication to the players or recruits from RP or the university?
CRP is the cool way to refer to Pitino, it must be, them super cool Card fans call him that. Like, get with it, man.
Either Phil Jackson or Pat Riley. Zipp told me so himself.
It would be interesting if it went down that way because you know Rick wouldn't be able to keep quiet and would commence with TRASHING Turtleneck and UL immediately...
Those two gotta have all sorts of dirt on one another.
I prefer CRAP. coach richard andrew pitino.
Oh hell no! banner goes. pitino stays, too much entertainment value.
Firing him should have nothing to do with the facts that UofL gave and paid for favors for amateur student-athletes, therefore, making those student-athletes retroactively ineligible. UofL must be held to the precedent they, the NCAA, set themselves (see Memphis-Rose ruling). Banners must come down and wins vacated.
That's the greatest thing: he's burned every bridge ever. Everywhere he's been he's hated
While there's no proof of McConnell,there is absolute proof that former Gov Beshear was involved in the corruption there,the UL Trustees had to donate heavily to Beshear's Campaign Fund to get appointed among other things =
