While Pitt's hiring of Kevin Stallings as the team's next men's basketball coach has dominated the news around these parts, the athletic department had another key hire to make for the swimming and diving program that's sort of gone under the radar.
Former coach Chuck Knoles retired recently and that left athletics director Scott Barnes with a hire to make. On Tuesday, he filled that vacancy with the hiring of John Hargis.
Like the hiring of soccer coach Jay Vidovich, Barnes went for another pretty well-known guy in the swimming and diving community.
