Sounds like Jack really wants a non-Pitino solution -- don't need a search firm to find him, the telephone will do.

Hope they've retained the right type of search firm -- I really don't want the guy who runs Target.

Good first step. There still will be no announcement before the end of the BE Tournament imo. GU does not want to take away attention from tournament.

Jack DeGioia needs to have ZERO involvement in this search

he's like the meddling NFL owner who won't leave football to the football people

Gates's wife never seems to live with him? She was last employed at Boston College.

It's so frustrating to hear Gtown could have had possibly Shaka Smart and/or Dennis Gates. I'm going to keep my hopes up that whatever happens a new fresh direction is started but then... we have been there before.

I hope they hit the ground running and do not hire someone with a five year plan in mind. Pitino has baggage, and is probably a long shot, but he would inject immediate energy into GU basketball. He brings instant coaching credibility with the ugency to turn things around based on his age.
