For Pittsburgh Panther fans it has been a tough year in football. They had high hopes of dominating the Big East, the season culminated with the firing of Coach Dave Wannsted.
My experience has been bringing in a new coach revitalizes a team and the fan base. Hope springs eternal that now we get things turned around. Pitt hired its new coach,Mike Haywood, combine that with the new recruiting class and Pitt fans had alot to be excited about.
The end to a disappointing season and firing of the coach just got worse. Pitts new year starts off very badly for them because of their new coach who as of this writing is sitting in and Indiana jail cell charged with domestic battery.
Just when Panther did not think it could get any worse, it has. It is being reported that Pitt recruits are dropping off their list fast. The whole program is in total disarray.
As a BSU homer I have had to listen to years of former Pitt player and ESPN announcer Mark May slam my Broncos. Guess its my turn to stick a jab at Mayday.
The following came from a Boise State message board toasting the mighty Mark, who loves to toast the non AQ schools.
"Clearly, this is a smear campaign, paid for by non-Automatic Schools like Boise State or BYU..."
Pitt is in serious trouble and as of yet has made no comment. There really is nothing they can say, they have scant information to work with. Their legal position whether to fire or not fire has got to be tenuous at best. They really are in a no win situation.
