Who would be willing to pull the trigger on Rick? Only a mid-major?

 

What about Pitt? OR UCONN? How about Saint Johns?

Did St. John's fire Chris Mullins?

Rick Pitino will coach again.

Are any of the schools listed here interested in winning? If yes, then I think Rick Pitino becomes an option.

Rick Pitino will coach again.

 

I agree. It may not be this year, but he will coach again.

I don't see any chance Pitino gets hired by a school in the Big 6 conferences, at least this offseason.

 

Just way too much uncertainty.

Not yet.

You are probably right. Until they figure out this Adidas scandal it would be too risky

Rick who?

Give it a year or two. He’ll land another job. I don’t know what his interests are outside of basketball, but it seems like basketball is what defines Rick Pitino. I think he has to coach basketball.

Hopefully Memphis. Then hopefully Memphis replaces him with Billy Gillispie. Then John Calipari returns. The circle is complete.

Have they played any restrictions on him yet? If not then I see no reason why a team who is desperate to start winning wouldn't hire him. I wonder if he could get on staff with his son for a year or two, while waiting to see what happens.

To me, the biggest issue is: The clock is ticking.

 

Rick will be 66 this year, if schools go into any kind of "wait and see mode", how many schools want to hire a 67/68 year old coach?

 

I know coaches often go into their 70s, but how much longer will he coach?

Agreed, until the Coach 2 mess is over anyone hiring him is looking at possibly having to suspend him or fire him when the NCAA gets done with the Bowen recruitment saga.
