Seems like it would be a good landing spot for Pitino. Put in 5 years and rebuild. Year 3 and 4 get nationally relevant and year 5 make a decent run and ride off into the sunset.

It would help restore a little of his image and the whole priest on the sideline act would fit. It's New York. Build a winner and it would get supported. Nobody notices during the rebuild.

Just a thought...albeit a useless one.

Private Catholic University may have a small issue paying ridiculous salary for dude who was banging ****** in restaurants, paying for abortions, flipping birds at crowd, and responsible for his staff distributing prostitutes to his team as well as high school recruits alike....

Other than that, great idea.

You're probably right.

It would almost be like a Methodist school hiring an aging legend who was a known cheater to just take a chance at relevance. Those over the hill legends are loaded anyway. I doubt they'd coach at a private university and take a pay cut just to feed their ego and have another chance at glory.

We all know religious based schools (Baylor/Notre Dame/SMU etc) would never compromise their schools moral fiber just for the sake of winning and making money.

They just brought in Chris Mullin. A true alum and ambassador of the school, why in the world would they run him off to have Pitino?

Some people and their ridiculous train of thought.

Thought you were talking about the St. John's in Paducah. The school closed 20 years ago, but he probably could build a 7th and 8th grade empire. Many of his UL players read at that level.
