Pitt hasn't done too do well since joining the ACC. Fan expectations were too high, but they should have done better when Sam Young & Dejuan Blair were in school. The TCU job has less pressure and more money. I can't be mad at him for making the move. I hope Pitt gets someone who can recruit. They have been moving backwards since losing to Butler in 2011

Big 12 needs all the coaching it can get, keep that choking ass Baylor program out the tourney

Pitt was lookin like food in the ACC anyway, they had a couple year run but its not a highly regarded bball program

Pitt chose this route by leaving the Big East. I feel like Uconn is on pace to suffer this same fate. I understand football is huge, but Pitt handled this the wrong way.

I give the ACC credit though, I didn't think they would be this dominant in basketball so quickly; but some of these schools would've been better off staying in the Big East.

Pitt football aint dog shyt. Use to be a VERY good program. They left not for hoops but football which the Big East was pretty much trash for. They made the right move. They knew the ACC hoops wise wasn't going to be easy with the move either.
