Whom should Pitt Panthers hire to be their next coach?
Kevin Stallings is gone after just two seasons. It was a head-scratching hire when former Pitt AD Scott Barnes tabbed Stallings, who was on his last legs at Vandy. But Barnes had worked for Todd Turner, who runs a search firm, and Turner had hired Stallings at Vanderbilt.
It didn't make sense ... and it didn't work. The predecessor, Jamie Dixon, didn't leave Stallings much, but this wasn't the right hire, and just about everyone knew it two years ago. Stallings didn't win a single game in the ACC this season, and the two sides (Stallings and AD Heather Lyke) didn't have any relationship.
Now Lyke is on the clock, and she has a difficult decision to make.
