A Pitt Christmas Tradition

PrintWe all have our own traditions during this time of year. Those special things that let us know it's Christmas time. For some, it's the first snow of the year. Or the sound of the Salvation Army bells. Whatever it is, it's that thing that warms your heart just a bit with memories of Christmas past.
For current Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson (I use the word current loosely as calls for Pederson's head are ramping up as I type this.), Christmas traditions have an entirely different meaning. It's a sad time for Pederson as he always seems to find himself firing and hiring football coaches. Some beloved, some just a flash in the pan, and some were thrown out of the pan before the fire was even lit. The process leaves very little time for true meaning of Christmas. Or something even loosely based on Christmas. Probably the closest thing he gets to a warm feeling this time of year is right after he takes a shot of his favorite bourbon. Because the Panther may not be vicious, but it has a hell of an evil stare.

On the other hand...
ever since losing 13-9 to PItt, our Decembers have been fabulous.

Well, I just might have to argue about that....
Choking away a game to Tom “Mr. Vanilla” O’Brien in last year’s freezing cold Champs Sorts Bowl isn’t exactly what I’d call “fabulous”. Pitt did win their bowl game against a team that’s supposedly in the SEC.

not defending the bowl, by any stretch
but I’m convinced the lack of practice before the game was a preemptive measure to voluntarily reduce the number of practices under the NCAA investigation cloud. If you remember, there was a voluntary reduction of practices in the response, which was listed as “already served”
Looks like the Folks over in Tempe don't exactly have high expectations for their new coach...
Check out the video in this link… hahaha

Ha!
It’s weird, but they might be banking on him leaving soon if they think the coaching market would be better in a year or two. Either way, at least they see it coming.

When it rains
It pours. Looks like that stud five star center/pf pitt recruited is going to transfer, or is at least seriously contemplating it. Rough week in oakland.
