Pitt assistant coach, Tom Herrion decided the Marist job wasn’t the gig he wanted. He pulled out of consideration.
“I informed Tim Murray earlier today that I was withdrawing my name as a candidate for the vacant position,” Herrion said in an e-mail to the Poughkeepsie Journal on Monday night. “I enjoyed the opportunity to meet some excellent people at Marist and I appreciate their interest and wish them the best. I am sure they will find an excellent candidate.”
Marist apparently targeted 4 assistants and St. Benedict’s Prep Coach Danny Hurley for the possibly hiring. It now looks like Memphis assistant Chuck Martin is the only guy who still has his name in the pot.
For the first time in a couple years, Pitt won’t have to replace an assistant (so far).
