Oso planning to go pro
Can reach the triumvirate of Lewis, Garcia, and DJ.Can teach said triumvirate.Keep them in-the-fold.Instantly put us back on the map.Command respect from Day1. Renew by-the-wayside fan interest. Grow fan interest to include non-alums and much of Milwaukee. Capture just some of the magic of a certain long-gone, much-revered fast-talking NYer.Will get donors lining up, checkbooks out for B&G Fund and the program.Have us competing for NCAA titles (quickly)Breathe life into a moribund program.I think it’s obvious who this coach is.He is contrite about his past, from everything I have heard.He loves coaching at a small Catholic college. He is NOT going to write more negative things onto his epitaph.He deserves a second chance...to go out with style, at a great university.A school whose ideals he would live up to. At a place which puts only reasonable pressure on its head BBall coach.But is still big-time, and sees itself that way.MU, administrators: Make it So.Hire. Rick. Pitino.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
Scholl clearly stated they are not looking for a coach with a history of NCAA sanctions against them. Pitino is out, although it would be cool. It’d be an us against the world feeling with him as coach. We wouldn’t be very well liked by other teams.
Good. Every other coach/team loved Wojo. Cuz he was a wuss and easy to beat.I want a team of tough MFers and a coach that everyone hates.
In other words, you want Al!Wonder if Bruce Pearl wants to come back to Milwaukee?
With Rick it would be fun to go to the final four in 2024. It would be less fun to have that final four appearance vacated in 2028.I’ll pass.
Iona is a Catholic college, run by Christian Brothers.They hired Pitino. Explain how MU would not? Jesuits > Christian Brothers?
Any chance that Wade or Rivers would come as a favor to MU?
