drexyl - great photo!

As for Stache's replacement, you'd have to think Al Golden will be at the top of the list.

For those that think there is no competition in this conference, I believe TCU will soon be moving there.

Great recruiter, not sure how we can get a better coach than the Stache.


High expectations were placed on Wannstedt...winning seasons were not enough, they wanted BCS bowls every year. But I agree, who are they going to get better???

From FootballScoop:

Pitt: Our sources tell us that AD Steve Pederson has interest in Arizona head coach Mike Stoops and Temple head coach Al Golden. For now, offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti will serve as the interim head coach.

I would not feel comfortable if I was a Pitt fan. The AD, Steve Pederson, was AD at Pitt before he became AD at Nebraska. He was fired at Nebraska and ended up back at Pitt as AD once more. Among his awesome decisions:

- Mandating the school not be referred to as Pitt and instead only as Pittsburgh. His successor overturned this policy.

- Changing the helmet wording of Pitt to a steel-like Panther head.

- Interviewing and passing on then Nebraska DC Bo Pelini to instead hire Bill Callahan...who turned out to be an epic disaster.

-When fired as AD at Nebraska, President Perlman cited (among other things) Pederson's flawed leadership style.

-Leading the decision to demolish historic on campus Pitt Stadium:

and moving all football home games miles off campus and across the river to Heinz Field.

I disagree.

yeah if they get an awful coach. They have a good foundation at Pitt and I truly think Wannstedt had taken them as far as he could.

He is too conservative as a coach to truly be very successful.

There is no reason they shouldn't have won the Big East.

Head coaches in College football can't have a mustache and be successful. It is okay in the pros. They scare off the prospects moms.

If we could get Stoops or Golden, I think we'll reign atop the Big East for a decade.

Pitt fans been claiming the will domniate the conference every time they get a new coach.

Real reason he was fired is he went 1-2 vs Bill Stewart

Penn State folks might have a heart attack if Pitt hires Golden.
