🎠 Coaching carousel - 2026

Absolutely incredible how poorly run Pitt is at this point. That was a program that was at the top of the elite Big East for years and earned multiple one seeds not that long ago. Now they’ve screwed up their contracts and everything so badly they can’t afford to fire a guy who has made the tournament once in eight years. It’s honestly sad.

Before our 2019 run I was getting worried we were becoming old Big East Pitt.

A P5 would be smart to hire Olen

He’s a good coach and evaluateor. Still needs to answer whether he can recruit at the next level though.

You wouldn’t if you saw this piece of coked-up perfection.

Once you’re a successful HC at a lower level, how are you supposed to ever prove this? And isn’t high school recruiting pretty unimportant at this point?

I wish Josh had said " God bless the whores! W-H-O-R-E-S!" I mean he coaches in Vegas.

In the modern age traditional recruiting matters much less (not zero of course). Doesn’t matter how much the recruit likes one staff if the other is offering 300 grand more.

And anyway, I don’t think UNM is at the top of the MW in resources, they didn’t get a pac-12 invite, so presumably he punched above his money recruiting anyways

I miss this guy so much. Unbelievable We need more characters as coaches.

Damn, I won’t lie was a little surprised when I saw Thad was still coaching back in November when the Hoos played Butler in a ballroom.

He was a solid coach and a very good guy to be around. Dude knew ball.
