After two seasons of disappointment and a month of hot seat talk, Kevin Stallings is out at Pitt. The intensely unpopular hire drew criticism the day it was announced, and fans never took to Stallings the way former Pitt athletic director Scott Barnes hoped they would.
Now, the time has come to search for a replacement, and there are plenty of talented coaches out there who could feasibly dig Pitt out of the hole Stallings dug and restore the program to its former glory. It’s unlikely to be a rapid turnaround, but several coaches who should be under consideration have done more with less in relatively short order.
