I will laugh if Richard Pitino is the next coach at Louisville.

 

[Cats192]

It's sounding more and more like it's down to Pitino Jr. and Schertz.

Both seem pretty lame. Pitino Jr. is super mid. Schertz hasn't made the tournament.

I will too. Apparently Demling thinks he’s their top guy now.

Actual footage of the last guy to get a ring at U-6.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Why would Richard go unscrew the program that fired his dad??

 

[akaukswoosh]

Get those old “Got Pitino?” tee shirts out, guys!

 

[WeWant9]

What a rollercoaster for them. They started out big with Donovan or Wright (like all fan bases), then moved to Drew, then May, and now….Pitino Jr.

Exactly.

Check his resume. He won’t be unscrewing them.

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

If Pitino Jr turns them down they could always go after this guy.

 

[FrankUnderwood2.0]

I will laugh if Richard Pitino is the next coach at Louisville.

Per Jody Demling on X (Twitter) he has now emerged as the Top Candidate

Here’s the thing. If we fire Calipari we MUST get a decent coach because I want to make fun of UL for hiring that clown but if we hire someone ho hum then I can’t.

Cmon Mitch. Don’t do me dirty.

 

[Ugoff]

Mitch ought to get on his knees and and thank the higher power that UL is our little brother.

 

[westerncat]

Some want Scotty Davenport or Wade.

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Read today that it is down to Kelcey and Pitino. A few have already said no to them.

 

[catfanlou]

Apparently he’s the one now being considered

 

[FilsonCat]

Will Wade would be a fit. Strong *** NIL offers all around!

They aren’t looking for someone to get them to the tournament, they want to win 10 games next year. Build from there. lol

 

[BlueBomb]

In what world does this make sense? Pitino gets kicked to the curb in humiliating fashion. And now his son may go there? That's almost as unlikely as a coach leaving one school in heroic fashion and then eventually winding up at that school's arch enemy.

I mean none of it makes sense!!

 

[blubo]

Will Wade would be a fit. Strong *** NIL offers all around!

i hope it’s not wade, the guy can coach. he’s going to land a big job somewhere. i was hoping it would be uk

 

[Kattopper]

Check his resume. He won’t be unscrewing them.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Mitch better be on top of a quality search beginning now. We have to have a candidate in line.

 

[EliteBlue]

Bob Huggins, Will Wade, little Ricky

I don’t buy it. The BOT is not going to want the Pitino’s back around the program, there are more
involved at UL than just boosters and win at all costs administration. There is state involvement. And those guys are not as enthusiastic about Louisville winning as much as cleaning things up.

I see no way Pitino Jr. is even being considered past a few people that want to find a way to get Pitino back involved in the program.

I would be floored if the Pitino name ends up back at UL. I have said for a long time I believe the name they get is someone most haven’t even been talking about. Maybe recently they’ve been mentioned but I’ve always thought it would be a hire that wasn’t considered in the first month.

I agree. If they take Jr, he WILL be involved, even if it's behind the scenes.

 

[rick64]

Pitino Sr can help him schedule parties in Minardi Hall.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Didn't Pitino struggle at Minnesota?

 

[catsfanbgky]

I agree. If they take Jr, he WILL be involved, even if it's behind the scenes.

So you think he will slight St. Johns and help his son at the school who fired him ? Really ? I am sure St. Johns would not have any problem with SR. helping JR. at another school. Nah, not at all. This is not little boy basketball, this is major D1 college basketball, no coach is helping another team son or no son coaching there. NOT happening.

 

[akaukswoosh]

hehe

 

[rick64]

Apparently Pitino Jr is pulling a Barnes and removing himself from consideration for the UL job according to MJ this morning on his radio show. UL rejected AGAIN.

[MWes11]

Pat Kelsey to UL

 

[Rockfly78]

as long as they don't hire Will Wade

 

[BoogieTowns]

This UL coaching search has been the highlight of my week. Such a dumpster fire.

 

[cat888]

I think they should consider Darren Horn ?
