If he would, what would the reaction be on this board? Very negative from me and a number of my fellow season ticket holder friends. He’s a “bad guy”.

^ Less than zero shot Pitino would leave Iona for HC now, but go ahead, keep believing he would. Unlike some on this board I hold my tongue on subjects like Rick Pitino unless I'm assured of what I'm saying. So Clock Tower Purple I'll keep believing. To answer EFG's question about what would the reaction be on the board if this was true, there would be disbelief on the part of some and disgust on the part of others.

As to the Pitino talk, that ship sailed 4 yrs sgo That ship would sail right back into port if HC wanted to make the move. I know for a fact that Pitino would love the HC job. I don't want to hear about "he's a bad guy" talk. at best, that is extremely hard to believe. For a number of reasons, there is zero chance of him taking the HC job. One of the many reasons is that 90%One of the many reasons is that 90% of the players he has recruited at Iona would not be admissible at HC. And he is a bad guy. I have known about his character for well over 50 years and he hasn’t changed.

Only unsubstantiated rumor at this point (unless Crusader1970 happens to be the AD at Iona), but very interesting if true

In my opinion, folks can believe whatever they wish about Pitino...as long as he doesn't come to HC.

Even if football44 is correct, and respectfully, I am doubtful, PVR would not stick his neck out for a publicly cheating husband/father and coach, nor should he. Even his long time friend, Tom Konchalski, who almost never said a negative word about anyone, criticized him in a book written about Pitino a few years ago. Tom told Pitino what he said to the author ahead of publication,

I am sure that Rick is a millionaire many times over and should follow his friend Ralph into a quiet retirement. Not sure his ego would let him do that.
But not for Holy Cross to enable it. If he must coach, let him do it elsewhere.

I would bet my life we wouldn't be 3-10 right now.

I’d bet there are at least 300 coaches in D1, D2, D3 and high school who could coach this team to a better than 3-10 record.
That still isn’t a valid reason to hire Rick Pitino.
While Fr. McFarland might not have been right not allowing Ralph back, whoever the president was who wouldn’t take Rick was correct.
This program does not need Rick for a turnaround. We do, however, need a new coach after this season.
We wish you the best, Brett, just somewhere else.

No need to include D2 and D 3, there are likely 350 D1 coaches who would do a better job than BN has done.

I don't agree or disagree completely but for conversation
If Pitino comes in, behaves like a true rep of Holy Cross, and in four years gets them to the sweet 16 how do you feel then- and yes I think he could do that if our last two Presidents can win an election all things are possible😱😱😇😇
My guess is most would forgive all past sins and call it a brilliant hire

I’m definitely less judgmental about hiring Pitino than I was 4 years ago. I can only take so much losing. That said, why wouldn’t we just hire RW for 4 years with his top assistant (Sachs or whoever the next Mark Diagneault is) as the successor in waiting? I know RW probably doesn’t want to do that at this point but if Pitino is an option, maybe Ralph is bored. Maybe they could co-coach so they’d only have to go on half the bus trips each.

There are many reasons why this would not work. One is that neither has the personality to be a co anything.
