March 7, 200719 yr On ESPNs Mike and Mike show this morning, Pitino was a guest on the program. He was asked his opinion on the Tubby and UK situation and he said "In no way, would UK get rid of Tubby and if they did, it would set the program back 10-15 years". He went on to say, the biggest majority of UK fans want Tubby to stay, but, like any other program, have a small minority of unrealistic fans that are asking for him to go ....
March 7, 200719 yr I don't think Rick would say anything bad about him and even if he did I doubt it would be on ESPN...I doubt it would set the program back 10-15 years though.
March 7, 200719 yr Hopefully, Pitino's voice will carry enough credibility to help ease the heat...of course, a 3 or 4 wins this weekend could do that also.

I could see a very long term set back if he leaves. Other coaches would salivate at the recruiting tool it would provide against UK...
March 7, 200719 yr I could see a very long term set back if he leaves. Other coaches would salivate at the recruiting tool it would provide against UK... How so?
March 7, 200719 yr By the way, don't we all want the program to go back to where it was 10-15 years ago?
March 7, 200719 yr How so? Black coach run out by racist fan base. Like it or not, it would be used, and often...
March 7, 200719 yr Black coach run out by racist fan base. Like it or not, it would be used, and often... I agree that it would be used often, but I don't think it'll be a problem. If (and when) Tubby does leave, it'll be announced that it was on his own terms. Either he'll head to the NBA, or he'll retire, IMO. How badly did it hurt Notre Dame in football?
