Nate Stupar has claimed that he was relayed the information from Jason Aversano
Which really makes me wonder if he is just going off of what other people are saying. I mean come on, a telecom major at Penn State is not going to be getting this information any better than we are.
As for the removal of the post, I can’t really see any way he had no inside information on this. The original report from WTAE mentioned no text messages sent at all, meaning that he would have had to made those up completely out of the blue for the post to be just a follow up of WTAE. I don’t think somebody who has been covering Penn State sports for 20 years is going to go off on his own and make up text messages.
In other news, Pitt’s 79 points given up to Providence is the most Pitt has given up in Regulation since an 89-76 loss to Notre Dame on January 30th of 2002.
Really there is a lot of gameplay going on here right now.
Bradley likely made the mistake of texting his boys cause he really cares for them.
They like many kids (regardless of era they be in) don’t know how to keep their mouth’s shut.
In the Hi-tech age with 24×7 news coverage Bradley was outed.
Pitt which is trying to cross the i’s dot the t’s and who knows maybe are looking for a sexier bride (graham).
Meanwhile Bradley’s camp wants this thing signed, sealed and delivered nay be using the public/media to help force Pitt’s hand.
Is all of this happening or any of it…I really don’t know. But for those of us who care deeply about Pitt are sort of trying to figure it all out.
Best advice is to sleep on it. At this point I just want a coach before the game on Saturday.

As for a coach, I hope it’s Bradley. He’s solid and we can put this mess behind us. There are others I’d like to see, e.g. Leach, but it will never happen, so why dream. Hail to Pitt!
I will not follow a program that commits itself to mediocrity, only one that commits itself to greatness. Can Bradley get the team to BCS bowls with Patterson’s TCU and Holgersen’s WVU in the conference? Fuck a Meineke Car Care Bowl.

CHEAP SOB’S
The Meineke Care Car Bowl is no longer. I know you’re in deep despair as I am.
The bowl in Charlotte, played at Bank of America
Stadium has a new corporate sponsor. That being the largest and oldest department store in Charlotte. It will now be The Belk Bowl. The Belk family in Charlotte is akin to the Mellon family albeit with less money.
The Belk Bowl lives !
I think that’s what sold them on Baby Daddy, he told them he had lots of contacts in Florida, Louisiana & Texas. And after watching TCU with it’s 2-3 star Texas recruits beat Wisconsin with it’s 3-5 star Midwestern recruits, one can see the abundance of talent in places like Texas & Florida.
On the brightside, and maybe I am being over optimistic, this shake up could have some benefits to the program long term if we can find ourselves a solid AD with an ounce of common sense.
next topic – Mario Cristobal?? another reach. Interview the guy who is coaching the team going into the FBS championship this weekend, KC Keeler. …why not interview Keeler?
We have very good skill players on this team and a QB in mark meyer who could be very good. Go offense first!
“Already people are excited about the staff he’ll bring with him and I have on good authority his defensive coordinator will be Teryl Austin, a highly regarded coach who started at cornerback for Pitt in the 1980s. Austin was defensive coordinator at Florida last year. He has an excellent resume, both in college and the NFL, and is an outstanding recruiter. He has long wanted to get back to Pitt and was hoping for a job on Dave Wannstedt’s original staff.”
I think Bradley is the right guy, right now for Pitt. If he brings in a good staff, this could turn out great for the Panthers.
The Bradley leaks last night before Nordy has met him – how can that happen? I smell another SP f..up here.
On the Coaching melodrama, Zeise is reporting this morning that he feels Bradley will be the next coach even though Pitt hasn’t offered it yet.
Since Pitt knows Bradley will take the job, if offered, I imagine they’re talking with as many other candidates they can to see if any might be a better fit and will come at the right price.
If that doesn’t work, then they fall back on Bradley. Much like most of us in any bar (cocktail lounge) scenario going for the more attractive one’s but having one ‘in the bag’ so to speak. Hopefully they’re as good at that game I as was/am. 😉
What we need is a safe pick of a solid guy who can coach. We don’t need to “Wow” anyone. There are a lot of good players to work with already on the roster, so this is a good situation for a new coach. We need someone who can steer the ship and continue bring in new talent.
Let’s just hire Bradley and get it over with.
And I read either in Zeise’s blog or Smizik’s that TB could bring as many as 4 PSU coaches with him. That sounds a little better than Morris Watts and crew from Miami of Ohio. God bless them. Pitt hasn’t really had a great Defense, one that just stone cold stops you, since the days of Jackie S.
So let’s get this thing wrapped up before Smiley can screw things up.
Hail to Pitt !
TB plans to run a spread offense. I don’t know where they’re getting their info, but I like it.
I like it…..
And the spread doesn’t necessarily mean you have to throw the ball 50 times/game.
The newest thing among Spread offenses is to run out of them. Auburn and especially Nevada did this to the extreme this year, with Nevada having not one, but two, thousand yard rushers out of their spread. I know you say Nevada, who cares,
hey Nevada beat Boise State keeping them from a BCS bowl.
The blogs also mentioned TB would be looking for an athletic QB which means sunseri’s days are few.
Maybe Bolden will transfer to Pitt.
Therefore, with my luck, Steve Pederson will come in at the last minute, and tell us he has found a special teams coach at Savannah State, and he really thinks this guy could be “the” guy!!
Then, he will tease people with a uniform color and logo change……….powder blue, light yellow orange, and a picture of “the point” on the helmet.
I know it!!!!
Neinas, one of the most powerful people in college sports, will be heard. The former Big Eight Conference commissioner has been involved in some big-name searches, including those that landed jobs for Les Miles, Urban Meyer, Mack Brown, Bob Stoops, Randy Shannon, Butch Davis, Tom O’Brien and Mark Dantonio.
“We are constantly on the phone, turning over every rock,” Hathaway said. “We’re looking for best person to lead this program on a continued upward trajectory . . . I’m looking for the very best football coach who wants to lead the University of Connecticut football program.”
We should all be thankful that Haywood has no respect for women, is an ass and tossed his girl around. She really took one for the team….literally.
No matter who they hire from here it will be an upgrade.
If Tom Bradley would have been hired instead of who?(Haywood) we would still have 80% of our recruits here. TB would have also brought in a few new ones and still can if he is coach. I’m old enough to remember those Pitt teams from the late 70’s and early 80’s which reminded everyone of what a top 10 program looks like today.
Please fire Peterson, and replace him with a competent A.D. I think he’s a decent enough guy, but he doesn’t know how to keep making knee-jerk reactions without feeding off those who know more about the game than he does.
If you can get both Bradley and Austin as O.C., you guarantee to stop the bleeding now, and 2 months from now we can laugh(well maybe still put our fist through a wall when thinking about it) and say what an end to 2010!!! 2011 can be a promising time. It’s a horrible thing and it should never happen, but supposed domestic violence may have saved the Pitt program another 3-4 years of total incompetence. Wow, I can’t believe those words came out of my mind……….
1. TCU
2. Boise St.
3. West Virginia
4. Alabama
5. Ohio State
6. Missouri
7. Iowa
8. UCF
9. Stanford
10. Nebraska
Looks like a pretty solid list of teams. (A better-looking list than the top ten offenses, I might add.) The demise of the importance of defense in college football has been greatly exaggerated.
I am NOT a Bradley supporter but if I was I would say at least McQueary is not eligible for social security.
DickRod begs to differ.
I’ll take the top 10 teams in points per game over scoring defense(Top 10 yards per game list is really similar too):
1. Oregon
2. Boise St.
3. Ok. St.
4. Auburn
5. Nevada
6. Wisconsin
7. TCU
8. Tulsa
9. Stanford
10. Hawaii
65. Pitt
80. PSU
If you can be an elite team on either side of the ball, chances are you will be pretty good.
