Report: Duke Assistant Jeff Capel to be next Pitt’s next Head Coach
We are on day 19 of the 2018 Pitt Men’s Basketball head coaching search. This is officially the longest major sport Pitt coaching search since possibly Agnus Berenato’s hiring in 2003 for women’s basketball. For football, it goes back to at least Walt Harris’ hiring in 1997.
And it’s over.
Jeff Capel has been an assistant for Duke since 2011, and was previously the head coach at Oklahoma before that where he had mixed success included an 30 win season including an Elite 8, but also two of Oklahoma’s worst seasons in its history as well as a recruiting violation scandal. We’ll dive a bit more into his history in a later post
