Back in August, I mentioned that I was not sold on Dave Wannstedt as the Panthers coach. Apparently I'm not alone after a 2-3 start. According to Yahoo! Sports rumors page, "Wannstedt's tenure with the Pitt Panthers will be ending if he doesn't make it to a bowl game in 2007... Though the program has recruited well, Pitt has yet to become consistently competitive in a Big East conference."

I was one of the fans that was wondering what Pitt was thinking when they pushed Walt Harris out and hired Dave Wannstedt? Dave never had a good season as a head coach and no experience as a head coach at the college level. And to top it off, he puts Matt Cavanaugh as his offensive coordinator? Although I never thought a whole lot of Walt Harris, his teams were at least respectable and not an embarassment to the University. The question is, if Pitt fired Dave Wannstedt, who would be the good candidates that would come to such a mess? I think Pitt has let themselves slide so far into mediocrity that a good head coach would be reluctant to even try to coach there. Perhaps a new Athletic Director will be able to clean house and start over. Thank goodness basketball is starting soon!!

How about Gregg Brandon, or one of the other guys on this list of coaching prospects?

Thank god I found this! I was starting to think that Dave Wandstedt had incriminating photos of everyone in Pittsburgh. I've written the gazette about this the whole year and never has the writer responded to my question. I can't believe he is still the Coach at Pitt! He's turned them into the new TEMPLE University of the Big East. I mean he should have been fired the first day when he hired Matt Cavanaugh the vaunted offensive coordinator of the most inept offense in the NFL Baltimore Ravens. I think Dave gets a pass a lot and for some reason keeps getting jobs. I hope that Pitt fire him, and hire someone with some flair. I think they should go after the guy from Boise State. How is PITT worse than South Florida, Rutgers, and UCONN.....Wake up Pittsburgh. Put Davey Boy on the first plane out of town.

I am big on Mike Locksley from illinois, he is one of the top recruiters in the country and cleans up in the DC, MD, ATL areas. He would be a great fit for our team. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT HIM AS OUR HEAD COACH!!!!

I really don't know that much about him but it seems that the majority of the Pitsburgh fans are not happy with him.

He beat WVU, and sadly, that will probably be enough for him to hang on for another season.
