Kevin Stallings is an awful coach. Pitt is about to go the way of Wake and GT.
Yeah. I don't get the Stallings move at all. Pitt fans can't be thrilled with this one.

Vandy pushed Stallings out the door by basically telling him to find another job. This way they didn't have to pay a buy-out and he didn't get fired.Always a bad sign when a coach takes a new job, and a large portion of the fans from the coach's former school are thrilled.
Stallings is not likable. At Vandy, Stallings relied on a lot of recruits that out-performed their rankings. That may work in the SEC, recipe for disaster in the ACC.

Well, the conspiracy of cronyism and the questionable ethics of search firms for college searches …
The search firm that was used was Collegiate Sports Athletics and the CEO is Todd Turner, who used to be the athletic director at Vanderbilt and also at Washington.
Turner hired Stallings at Vanderbilt in 1999, Stallings was a client of the search firm and Barnes was Turner’s deputy athletic director at Washington from 2005-08.
So there is a legit question of whether this was a case of an “old buddies network” scratching each other’s back or if Barnes really had Stallings in mind from the start of the search.
I mean, if Vandy was on the verge of firing Stallings – and Barnes had struck out with a few candidates – could Turner have said to Vandy “I have a solution” to Stallings “I have a solution” and to Barnes “I have a solution” to make this work?
Todd Turner is responsible for a lot of athletic department downturns. Turner's AD style is equivalent to Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
