Pitt interviewed Matta

So, he's still interested in jobs....

Thought he wouldn't bite on anything this year.

It was rumored he wants the Pitt job that’s why he turned down UGA

If Pitt landed Matta and Hurley turns us down to stay at URI until a blue blood coaching offer comes who the hell will we turn to? I guess it'd have to be Calhoun.

 

[Fishy]

If everyone on earth perishes except our basketball team, Thad Matta and one other random person, we should hire the random person before Matta.

The guy is physically a mess. College coaching will break him again.

For a guy that young to look that bad, there’s a lot of crap wrong in there.

Musselman from Nevada?

Musselman from Nevada?

Not as high on him as others. But I'm sure he'd be up there as a strong possibility if my hypothetical happened.

 

[browndog319]

I’ve got him going down to Texas... I’m not that amazed by him.

 

[The Viking]

Imagine the pendulum tomorrow if URI loses while Buffalo not only upsets Kentucky but beats them by 15 while their coach talks smack to Calilari in the postgame handshake
This entire board won’t know what the hell to root for

 

[sammydabiz]

Never thought Pitt was threat to losing Hurley, only we don't get Dan is he stays at URI. I'd be down with Oats or the Nevada coach, not sure if that's even a possibility.

I just don't see Calhoun coming back, but there has been whispers I guess.

I don't want JC to die.

Idk know if we could get Oats at this point. He's not even making Hurley money right now, he's just so new to his situation.

Musselman from Nevada?

Yes if we can’t get Hurley I hope he is on our watch

I had heard the same thing. Matta wants to get back into coaching but I think he also realizes that he will have limitations. He has never coached in the South but can fall back on his Midwest Eastern recruiting connections at Pitt.

I am perfectly happy with him taking the Pittt job and leaving Danny Hurley for UConn.

 

[Husk1881]

Oats definitely grabbed our attention but it's a bad day for storrs when we can't pull talent away from URI.

 

[huskiesnyc]

If we miss on Hurley I would be very happy with Eric Musselman

We’ll never have to find out

 

[djct1999]

I pray that AD DB is far more sensible and level headed than some on here. Oats is such a reach for this program it's not even funny. There is no proof he can recruit at this level. He should follow Hurleys steps and be the next coach of URI.

 

[intlzncster]

Hope you know what you're talking about Stats.

I just want a coach I can get excited about next year. That's all I'm asking. No idea if DH will be successful, but at least we can be optimistic.

What's interesting about Pitt and Matta is that Lyke already interviewed Chris Jent, who was Matta's #2 for a few years. Wonder if they're coming as a tandem with Jent doing most of the traveling to save Matta's back.
