Where Does Pitino Go From Here?

[2Adulterers]

What is his next move...he is on ESPN begging for folks to understand him and take his
side as the Victim..Will any school feel like they can trust a guy with 2 major scandals on his rap sheet? The FBI has just subpoenaed Rick all he has left is barrels of $$$$$..
Sorry Ricky you had it made with Turtleneck as your bag man now he's toast..
Karma is a ....Remember the "got Pitino" t-shirts bet uavel fans wish they never heard of you..

 

[UKhoopCat]

I heard Waverly Hills is needing a vampire for Halloween. Too soon?

 

[University-6]

Easy answer...

 

[ThroughBlue]

Probably some brothel down in south beach

 

[DSmith21]

His new coaching destination of course. Whores, bribes, whatever....no problem.

 

[IL Wildcat]

Yeah, a couple days ago we were discussing his prospects as a CBB analyst for ESPN or CBS, perhaps during the NCAA-T some day. I think it's possible someone might take a chance on him, but probably not very soon. The FBI investigation is ongoing, so that will have to be over. The NCAA investigation which must follow will take a long time also. So, I'm thinking it will be a while before he gets any calls.

As for other coaching jobs, as far as the NCAA is concerned, he will likely not be allowed to coach for a long time if everything that is alleged is found to be true. (and we all know it's true) Even after the NCAA would allow it, I don't believe any major program would hire him. There is too much risk. Rick would want full control and who would give him that? I don't think a big name program would touch him with a 10-foot pole. That leaves the smaller schools, and I think the main reason that wouldn't happen is Rick's EGO. Would Rick swallow his pride and take a job at a lesser school? I just don't see it happening. Imagine Rick Pitino coaching at Arkansas State or Southern Miss. Right, not happening.

Rick's best chance at coaching would likely come in the NBA. But he's flamed out there twice already. And he would want control, too. Who would offer him a head coaching job? He's 65 right now, so his best years are likely behind him. Would he take an assistant job? Again, pride would stop that from ever happening.

If the man could suppress his ego, he's made enough money to ride off into the sunset, but I have a feeling we'll see him again in the public eye.

 

[kyjeff1]

Uh, well, he's not exactly in the poor house. In my eyes there's really only one thing to do. Disappear.
He has a stupid amount of money and now he no longer has to work or deal with the stresses of winning.
Don't fall for his "whoa is me" crap, that guy is skipping down the road right now laughing like an a$$hole.

 

[second region insider]

Some pro team might want him as it is hard to cheat in the professional level?

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

The Cleveland Clinic?

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

I could see him ending up on little ricky's staff as an asst., but his ego wouldn't allow him to go 2nd fiddle to any other

 

[buckkiller]

Everything has turned Into ashes in his mouth!

 

[rick64]

Back into his coffin

 

[irishcat1965]

Hopefully prison. How deliciously ironic if Pimptino and Sypher both did prison time.

 

[LouievileKat]

A smart man would lay low for a year or two. Maybe do some charity appearances and then get a job as a TV analyst. Rick unfortunately isn't charitable or humble enough to lay low.

Not "hopefully" for me. I despise Rick, but prison is pretty harsh.
But I hope he suffers the consequences of losing his reputation and involvement in the Game.

 

[Owen68]

Coach in China.

If you're reading this confused like I was, well he meant to quote the other guy up there.

What is Jail for $100,000 Alex?

New binness...Pitino Poop Pumping Service..U talk it, we clean it up!

Watch them throw parades to welcome him back to campus as Padgett's assistant after all the smoke is cleared. It will be billed as a genius move and he'll take a pay cut down to $3 mill a year.

 

[drbubba]

Dr. Phil is on the clock.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Busting nuts at Porcini’s

 

[tluck88]

As crooked and as utterly despicable as the NCAA is....i see him possibly coaching again, possibly at a small school in the Big East.

However, if i was him id be making amends to my family and get out of the spotlight forever and just be a family man but I'm not sure he has that in him

 

[ram1955]

Maybe he will wise up, take his money and spend it and his time with his family.

 

[2Adulterers]

He doesn't even know who fired him..He blames the BOT for locking him out of his office when it was the Athletic Board of Directors who canned him..Poor Rick he's really lost it..

 

[seccats04]

HC at UNLV in a couple of years. He will want to go out a winner because his ego won't let him stop. A dirty place like UNLV will be desperate enough to hire Pitino to become relevant again.

 

[shutzhund]

He will become MC at Minardi Hall.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Hes trash and an embarrassment now. Highly doubt even ESPN or CBS will give him a job.

How is UNLV “dirty?”

 

[KingOfBBN]

How is UNLV “dirty?”

He thinks Tarkanian is still there.

 

[Cardsstink]

I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wannna stay herrrrrrre.

 

[Deli owl]

I think he goes back to porcini's to keep fulfilling his needs.

 

[Skyguyb27]

He's gonna go back to Hollywood and make another year of the show "Tales from the crypt".

 

[FrankUnderwood]

He’s Single handidly given us new nicknames for UL “University-6” and “Coach 2” it will NEVER get old

 

[KopiKat]

Time to coach in the old country. Euro-Italia league. He will be so dominant over there. And they would welcome him with open arms. These are not scandals by European standards. I can hear him now in a couple, three years talking about how Euro is so much better than NBA and the reasons the NBA is afraid to play Euro league teams is blah blah blah.

 

[Wildcats1st]

If he were smart he would live out his life in seclusion in Sicily

[Saven]

New York, so that Joanne can get away from us southerners.

 

[warrior-cat]

Rehab. The scum from UL put him in this spot. The corruption from that university took a once good man and turned him into a lying, cheating, prostituting scumbag capable of the most unthinkable acts of perversion.
