PITT has a new football coach...no wait....they dont..

So Dave Wannstedt is out, didnt win the big east championship (which is in itself no big deal) he had a decent team, but they went nowhere, much like last year. Moments of brilliance, but then horrible embarrassing losses. So the coach is staying on as asst AD, and he is coaching the final game against Kentucky in the punk ass bowl or whatever it is called. College football is big money - successful teams in BCS bowls like PITT and PennState, can make millions of dollars. it also helps recruitment (believe it or not). Wannstedt wasnt making that much. Then again, you want a great team, you better get used to getting football players first and students ah...second? Fourth? not at all? I think Coach Wannstedt should have had a great season next year, but now, some great recruits have already jumped to other colleges. and now the new coach Haywood has self destructed, arrested for felony assault - I thought he had problems with his ex girlfriend before - so now Haywood is out, before he was really in. Soooooo, no coach, PITT administrators look like idiots, the team will suffer, and Wannstedt will be around next year anyhow. My suggestion: fire the AD at PITT, make Wannstedt AD, let Wannstedt recruit new coach.
