The instant that Dave Rice was relieved from his post as head coach of the Runnin’ Rebels, the replacement rumor mill started to run rampant, even suggesting Rick Pitino would be interested in leaving Louisville.
Last week, amid the constant speculation as to whom the next head coach of the Runnin' Rebels might be, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Louisville's Rick Pitino could be interested in taking the job.
This was based on information from a source who believed that Pitino wanted to distance himself from the scandal that occurred at Louisville, but would also want to bring his son, Richard Pitino, the current head coach at University of Minnesota, on-board and set him up us as the coach in waiting.
