Doubt Pitino is getting let go yet, not sure there are any better options to take the job if he is fired at this point. The latest 3 player suspension could lead to some defectons along with a new AD could lead to a change in his RP's security soon. I want RP to stay though with the recruits in Minny ISU is targeting the next few years so Prohm can create some in roads.
I'd prefer to have Coffey look at the dumpster fire of the program, poor faciliites, loss of fan support (I live in Mpls and just had a discussion with a season ticket holder not renewing next year just yesterday) and potential of lil Pitino being fired over during his time at the U of M leading to him reopening his recruitment. Amir is a legacy local recruit and the main reason wanted to stay home so it probably isn't likely.
I think this is the main thing holding up the show in Minny at this point. Nothing is going to change there until they get somebody hired to get that athletic department under control.
