Let's hire Rick Pitino
Nobody cares about the shady shit that happens in recruiting so let's just hire the king of shady shit.
I'm not sure if I'm being serious or not
A pox on you
Chicken, small, or cow?
Cow pox is the best pox
i can neither confirm or deny this.
as to hiring pitino, i'm on board with that if no one running the medellin cartel is available.
Isn't that a cereal? This is what happens when you can't downvote an OP.
Monkeypox may have something to say about that.
sidenote: wrote that as a joke, then I looked it up. I feel bad.
To vacate a title
You have to win a title
You misspelled Satan.
I don’t understand what Nick Saban has to do with this.
Honestly, I thought of this, but didn't have the balls to post it. Good for you sir.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....no
He already turned us down once. I don't know who'd be more angry - us or his wife (who supposedly vetoed the move the last time it was on the table).
I thought about this one too, but too much baggage. And though he didn't make the bad foul calls, it still feels too soon.
mi93, that might be the best pun of all time in reference to pitino, and you might not even be aware you wrote it, which makes it all the better: ("who supposedly vetoed the move the last time it was on the table)."
i think pitino's mistress was under the table, but you know that might only have been a sliver in time to the whole engagement.
if you think the "bad foul calls" are the reason rick pitino shouldn't be here? you shouldn't be here, either.
Martin never answered the phone.
To help you,
You are not being serious.
Someone please bring back the thread down vote feature.
Rick Pitino said he would bring back that feature
... a million times.
His wife says Michigan doesn’t seem that bad now after all.
If he did the exact same thing at Michigan that he did at Louisville, our basketball program would have been burned to the ground. How Louisville, Arizona, Carolina, Kansas, etc etc and so on and so on, get away with it I have no idea. But Michigan wouldn't. Am I paranoid, miserable and irritable right now? Yes, yes I am. But I think I just encapsulated why John Beilein left. College basketball is rotten to the core and he probably got tired of it. Who wouldn't resent seeing their peers cheat with no repercussions?
Hard to get away with it when the University shakes at the thought of the NCAA coming in and investigating
I think this definitely had something to do with why he left. How could it not? He's been a college coach for more than long enough where he has choices - to retire, to stay and put up with it, or go do something else. At 66 years old, he decided on the latter. And BTW, he probably got more money and can now spend a lot more off-season time with his wife, kids, and grandchildren.
It's not the only reason he left, but one of them.
I might agree with you if he wasn't also 66 years old
But he has the sexual vigor (and stamina) of a 15 year old.
To coach or to teach a course in ethics?
Don't you think this Rick Pitino take is a little.... oh, I don't know.... premature?
Let's abort this idea.
There are shadier coaches who are better at basketball that Pitino at this point.
As I've always said, let players get paid above-board and then let Michigan open up the money cannon. When John Beilein quits college basketball because he, in part, can't deal with its shadiness, you might as well stop trying to play by the rules and just jump in.
I felt dirty after having the same thought earlier today.
Fuck it
Let's not.
Welp let’s see what’s going on in the ol’MGoBoard this fine Monday morning...
Ahhhh i see {backs away slowly}.....
Any opportunity for Brian to use "Criminal Sex Vampire" is a win in my book.
NO way in hell he is a scumbag and doesnt deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
If Warde had any stones he'd hire Pitino immediately. Easily the best choice of available coaches and Top 10 of all coaches on the planet. I'd much much rather have a borderline guy like Urban or Pitino who wins than a holy roller who doesn't. Rick would put the fear of God into every NCAA coach and elevate UM basketball even higher.
See, now THIS guy is sure he's serious.
Helpful? Nah. Logical? Not so much. Sane? Uh-uh. But serious? Oh, yeah.
Calipari ?
Well if we did hire him, so much for that "moral high ground" so many of you like to spout on and on about with Michigan.
Disagree.
We can still claim to have moral high ground, and then just ignore any evidence to the contrary.
That's how you win this game and really get under the skin of those who would challenge our moral standing (I'm looking at you, EL)
So status quo?
DO IT
Avatar checks out.
Urban & Pete Rose are both available as well. Don't think of John Wooden though, Kieth Jackson just announced that Wooden died today.
My alter-ego thought about that this morning. I think Warde would be publicly shamed, then fired in the Diag if that happened.
why the fuck not. Integrity doesn't mean shit in college basketball
I'd rather burn Crisler down.
This is the only time I'm going to complain about this board not being like the old one. Remember when you could down vote someone for originating a thread? For this post I miss that feature.
No No No NO God Damnit No
Not in this lifetime....
