What are our chances of getting Rick Pitino to come here

[Space acer]

Right now he is down but not out. I know he is being investigated but hey why not give him another chance. Isnt UTEP a school of second chances?

 

[EPTUTEP]

-10000000000000000% chance of happening

Rick Pitino coming here has the same chance as Tim Floyd has of making the NCAA tournament here.

Well, Pitino likes tacos.

We dont need Pitino with all of his baggage. Go hire UT Arlington's coach, Scott Cross.

You’re fvcking high if you think we’re getting Cross.

So a Sun Belt coach is off limits for UTEP? Sad

Cross will get a bigger shot.

No gracias. What you smokin on playa?

 

[jq_miner]

Nope, what’s up with everyone wanting to get these POS coaches? Pitino will forever be stained with the mistress, escorts and bribery scandals. I believe everyone should get a shot at redemption, but his history shows he is a man of low character, morals and ethics. Seriously, you want this guy as the leader of UTEP Mens Basketball?

To many unrealistic fans smoking the good stuff. Fans, CTF quit. It's not 4/20 day.

Perino? Really? Cross? He loses conference games that should be won. It's like Mike Price. Plays a good game against OOC tough teams but choked in conference games during his tenure.

Sadly that's a latterel move at best. The Sun Belt is the same completion level as cusa
He has better facilities at UTA. The cpc> dhc. He's in a prime recruiting area. He's cultivated a few pipe line. He got Kevin Harvey from down the street. Right now we pay more but they have 60,000 students and a crap ton of alumni. If they needed to raise money to match a UTEP offer they could.

I agree with all that, but enrollment isn't that high.

UTEP isn't an attractive job. We can't be picky.

 

[Minerforlife]

You're right their enrollment is only 42,000
But if you add their online students their enrollment is 57,000

Nobody gives a crap about UTA. Nobody goes to their games. Nobody in Dallas takes note. UTEP is a better job than UTA. Not even close.

 

[Cube Jack]

Getting that scum Rick Pitino here? Hey, why not just go all out and get Dave Bliss? He was successful at UNM and Baylor, right?

To be honest we have as much chance of getting John Wooden, Dean Smith or Jerry Tarkanian.
