no.
I can't see a situation in which I would even let him volunteer,

No chance! He got away with so much already before finally getting his due. There are better options for a small D1 school to choose from than this liar, no matter his winning record.
Would hire him in a heartbeat. Would make a HUGE splash to get your program exposure and put them on the map. Would have STRICT language in his contract. But the guy can coach. If I'm a small program that's not even a blip on the radar, you damn right I'm going to hire him
I wouldn't but plenty would. Heck, even Dave Bliss found a coaching job at a little school.
The ncaa isn't done yet...he may get a show cause
True, I forgot about Bliss. But, any school that takes a chance on him better be protecting themselves very well. Another thing to consider, would a smaller school be able to afford Pitino? He has such an ego and I would think he would expect to still receive a lot of cash to coach somewhere/anywhere.
trying to keep up with the "joneses" Poor Rick, he's so jealous of big brother he got himself into several messes..
Ooooh honestly thought that said TJ, that's where I thought that was going lol. No I don't think he was.
Still a huge no however, for most of the same reasons.
A school who operates like UL, yes, I can see that happening.
Any school president who is moral driven, has integrity, does not tolerate lying, understands the term 'student-athlete", does not fornicate and knows a slick, lying, backstabbing SOB when he sees one wont hire the prick.

This is probably why he won't. I'd be stunned if he didn't get at least 3 years and he is 65 now.
That being said, Jim Calhoun is coaching a D3 team this year. I guess anything is possible.
He might have a show cause before everything is said and done. No one will be able to hire him for a while after that. I doubt he goes back into coaching after all this anyways. He is trying to get his nest egg from whomever will pay up in the lawsuits. I doubt we hear from him in college basketball again in any capacity. Maybe will move up to an NBA tv guy job.
