Prediction: Pitino to IU

[Son_Of_Saul]

If I could hire any one coach and make them go back to the age of 35, I'd hire Rick Pitino. Then I'd hire Billy Graham to shepherd him on boundaries.

Pitino at IU would be a nightmare for UK fans

He went 2-9 against Cal during his tenure at UL

Why I'm optimistic on this hire is 2 reasons. One, no search firm is being used hinting that they may already have their guy. Two, the $10M buyout was paid by a single donor. Who gives that kind of cash if you're not getting a big name hire?

Folks, Rick isn’t leaving Iona.

Pitino to IU would be a nightmare for the IU sucks thread.

I don’t want that to die.

I suppose we could always change it to “IU Cheats”.

Check your wallets! Clearly Gottlieb is stealing credit cards again to buy drugs.

Pitino knows nobody will hire his crooked arse.

uh huh

He got kicked out of Greece, you know Greeks hate Italians. He said he was very happy there and overnight that changed, same old Pitino spin doctor.

Book it

They don’t allow low life’s in the Big 10

 

[LASTUKMGR69]

He's 2 years younger than Roy, 6 years younger than K and only 6 years older than Cal. He easily could have 5-6 seasons or more in him if he's motivated enough, and my guess is he is HIGHLY motivated.

NCAA Show Cause could end his career

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

They couldn’t and they wouldn’t. $10 million is one thing, $50 million+ is completely different.

keep believing that sparky

X2. Under no measurement are they top 10 job. UK, Carolina, Duke, Kansas, Arizona, Louisville, Michigan, Michigan St, Virginia, nova are 10 I would consider better off the top of my head.

Did you see his press conference last night? He's definitely giving it serious consideration. Kept talking about the Celtics in past tense and saying lots of good things about IU and Indiana.
