My two favorite teams is WVU and whoever beats Pitt!!Originally Posted by texasdave
Alot of Pitt fans are gaged since their AD let Dana Holgorsen slip threw their fingers.
I can spell,I just can't type!!
Wow, that's a great opportunity for Michael Haywood, but you'd think Pitt could get someone with more than one winning season to his name.
No disrespect to him, because he did a great job this past season, but I'm just surprised that they didn't go after/land a coach with more experience.
I wrote earlier that I would have been disappointed if Indiana had to reach like this, and I'd think Pitt is in a better situation than Indiana.
From my alma mater to my least favorite team. Yeah, you're on my list Mr. Haywood.
Holgorsen is going to own this guy.
Same here...sad to see him go, but I echo Hoosier Red's sentiments, as well - I didn't see him leaving this year. I wish he'd have stayed more than two years in Oxford but I'll at least always appreciate that he was able to completely turn around the program (at least for one year).
This has been a weird year in coaching changes for sure, although if the Michigan job comes open, it could get even weirder.
I was kinda hoping either Rich Rodriguez (assuming he got fired from Michigan), or Marvin Lewis (Pittsburgh native and former assistant) would have been considered.
That's for sure. Michigan is in a tough spot. I think they'd pull the trigger on Rodriguez if they were sure they could get Harbaugh, but Harbaugh may be in no hurry until he sees what NFL jobs open up.This has been a weird year in coaching changes for sure, although if the Michigan job comes open, it could get even weirder.

So much for the Marvin to Pitt rumors. It's really hard to put a pro coach into a college program at this point due to the timing. Colleges can't wait 'till mid January and pro coaches have a job to fulfill 'till then. You'd have to pull off a Bobby Petrino stunt
Bad hire for Pitt, IMO. The guy has one winning season in a bad conference and Pitt hires him? Makes no sense. If they are expecting for Haywood to take them to the next level, they are sadly mistaken.
Some of the Vandy "insiders" thought Haywood was coming to Nashville after Malzhan shot em down.
Now it seems like the Commodores are going to take an OC froma mediocre offensive team. Sweet.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Given the Bengals record, he could resign and nobody would shed a tear. Zimmer takes over for the final two games.
I think Pitt was left holding the bag after Dana Holgorsen spurned them for WVU. They panicked and made the worst hire possible.
Isn't that what Petrino did? That didn't turn out too good
If Petrino had resigned after a meeting with his team and after informing his owner of his plans, that Atlanta thing would not have been so ridiculous.
Plus, Marvin Lewis is getting fired anyway. Petrino wasn't getting fired.
Couldn't have put it better myself. Marvin is out the door anyways, Petrino was in his first year on the job.
"The worst hire possible"?
