Todd Graham leaves Pitt for Arizona State

[lhacbigfan]

What do all the Pitt fans think about this move?

[The Ancient Enemy]

Holy ****.

Unreal.

I am not surprised at all that he left because I thought he was a used car salesman, phony from the word go.

I am only surprised that some major D1 team would want him after the 6-6 disaster this past season. There's a sucker born every day.

I don't see how Pederson survives this either.

I'm not sure where Pitt goes from here. Bradley is a leper and nobody, including Pitt, would dare touch him at this point. Pitt may need to again gamble on hiring a coach with low D1 or 1AA experience.

Not really surprised that he left, I am a little surprised it was after just one year though. I'm pretty blah towards Graham leaving. I don't think this sets the program back anymore than it already is.

[Crimson's Ghost]

Not surprised, and actually quite happy. We were going nowhere with this guy.

They should hire Tom Bradley and be done with it. He would never leave and bring in recruits. They should not hold the scandal against him. Gosh Pitt, get it right. Otherwise, it will continually be a stepping stone job. I don't care if they will be in the ACC

[Crimson's Ghost]

I hoep to God Tom Bradley is never the Head Coach for the University of Pittsburgh.

When has Pitt EVER been a stepping stone for a coach to get a better job? Majors and Sherrill were not using Pitt to get better jobs, although they eventually did take another job. And now you have Graham, who indeed may have had ulterior motives. But where is the pattern of Pitt coaches using Pitt to step up the ladder?

[KirkHerbstreit]

Moldy Pitt is not a destination job. Sorry I know that hurts but it's true. The reason why you haven't seen a mass exodus of coaches is because well umm Pitt has stunk for 30 years. It isn't 1976 anymore. Pitt is better off getting a Pitt guy or someone with strong ties to western pa. Otherwise this will happen IF a coach ever has success.

It is funny how you say "when has Pitt ever been a stepping stone job" then go on to mention 3 coaches that have moved on to greener pastures.

PSU's football job has been a destination for pedophiles and pedophile enablers for the last 46 years.

End of thread.
