Did he get fired from Pitt?

Nope. He left on his own.

Wow he must have been getting some heat for not advancing in the tournament at Pitt and said ***** you guys..... How long is Pitts contract with the acc because there basketball program is done and football is normally .500. Maybe we could take there spot in a couple of years when are basketball arena and football field are p5 ready...

The administration that hired him is no longer at Pitt. Seems like there were some support issues behind the scenes. TCU is his alma mater and willing to pay him a ton of dough to "come home." Pitt's move to the ACC was ill-advised with hindsight being 20/20. They were a much better fit for recruiting in the northeast while in the Big East and it appears they are feeling that effect already.

KState probably should've fired Weber and made a run at him. They are dumb.

He's basketball version of Tuberville. Had a great run with Bill Self's recruits and has been living off it since. Poor K-State.

Pitt fans having a meltdown at the possibility of them hiring Kevin Stallings on twitter right now.

I could imagine... I don't really know much about him but the little I do says it's not a stellar hire. They should make a hard run at Chris Mack.

I couldn't picture Mack leaving for Pitt, I think he'll pull a Shaka and wait it out

Agreed.

Why. They've managed to either maintain our upgrade each coach they've hired. Now they are in a better conf than the a10 I doubt they have anything to worry about. X spends a ton of $ on basketball.

Because he is an X guy

Yes thank you. That's what I was getting at.

Have heard from more than one source that if/when Pitino is done, Mack to Louisville is a done deal. Take it for what it's worth.

What does it say about Mick that Louisville would prefer Mack over him?

 

[Red_N_Black_Attack]

He will wait for the UL job

But that's the job Mick has also dreamed about. How many coaches get to have both of their dreams come true?
