Amazing for our perspective at NT. Our AD would have given him an extention on his contract. Big conferences, Big money, Big pressure to win lots of games to get to bigger bowl payouts, Big money donors wanting bigger results on the field.

I would predict that IF Coach Wannstedt wants to coach next season there will be plenty of opportunities.

All programs make "stupid" decisions sometimes. "Stupid" is relative to the program involved. Need we say more?

Most of those "stupid" decisions are deemed so after the fact and after results are in. They are also deemed "stupid" by people who don't agree with them. That being said, as an outsider, I cannot imagine why Pitt let Wannstedt go. There will be no lack of schools and probably some pro teams offering him any number of various opportunities. I think Wannatedt did wonders for the Pitt program, but what do I know anyway. Just an outsider looking in.

Stupid. The AD is the same one who ran Solich out of Nebraska and replaced him with Bill Callahan. During a rebuilding year this season, Wannstedt got Pitt a share of the Big East title.

Amazing how stupid some of the "bigger" programs are.

Not only did this idiot fire Solich and hire Bill Callahan at Nebraska, he then moved the needle even further closer to full retard by signing Bill Callahan to an extension after winning the first game of the year in 2007. When Nebraska sank in conference play in 2007, both the AD and Callahan got fired, which cost the Huskers millions more because they had just signed him to a big extension a few months earlier!!

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
