[RUMOR] Scheyer to Pitt...
- Thread starter vcugreg
- Start date
Anyone who takes that needs a 6 yr no termination contract. You need at least 4 years to get your kids in and 2 more to get the program up and running again.

I agree. I think Scheyer would be better off at a mid major to start with. You get more time to build your program.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if he took Nolan to be an assistant. Who replaces them at Duke? It would be cool to see Nolan and Jon as successful HCs at big name programs in 10 or so years. Imagine the story if they go up against each other in the tournament.
I don't buy this for a second. He has 4 years of being an assistant under his belt and just became a new dad. Wojo and Collins were both assistants for more than a decade each before accepting jobs that made sense. Pitt does not make sense.
Pittsburgh is a cooler town than many would guess. Relatively cheap to live there too. If, and I mean if he could do reasonably well ther, he would be king for as long as he wanted to stay. He would need someone who could recruit a major area like DC, NYC. Hard, but not impossible.
It wasn't too long ago that Pitt was sporting some really good teams. The right coach and some patience can do a lot for a program.
Pitt's not the place for him right now. If he were the greatest coach ever it would take him 6 years or more to win there. It took Coach K like 4 or 5 years to win at Duke and he inherited a better program. I think wes miller out of UNC-G would be a good fit because hof coach roy williams would have another buddy like Stallings at Pitt and if Pitt did have some good players that hof coach roy williams needed he could persuade miller to let them transfer to unc.

No idea about this, but if a kid can leave for the nba that may not be ready, how do we know how Jon, or anyone else will do as a head coach?
If this is true, Pitt can't do any worse than they have the last few years.
Honestly, if I was Pitt, I'd go after him hard.

The bad thing about him taking a job at Pitt would sort of be everything.
The Burgh is a VERY cool town! We go there every year to visit and have a complete blast - so much to do and you’re right the cost of living is incredibly low.
That being said I wouldn’t want the job. The program is in terrible shape in the toughest conference in in the country. The AD seems lost also. I think I’d wait for something better. I don’t think it turns around anytime soon.
When Hurley left URI, I thought that Jon would be a good fit there. They have a good team coming back, so the pressure would not be there right away.
Haven't heard Capel's name mentioned for any openings. Did he announce he's not available or do other schools just assume he's waiting to be K's replacement?
