There are a lot of names out there being tossed around as possible candidates as the next Pitt football coach. There's one name that I like, Mario Cristobal. Who? He's the coach at Florida International. He's turned around a program that was dreadful and has a team with two winning seasons and two bowl berths. Actually, I don't thin dreadful is a strong enough of a term. He runs a spread offense, something I think is needed in college football, despite what Todd Graham unveiled this season at Pitt. Some are quick to disqualify Cristobal because he'll leave after a couple seasons for a bigger and better job. I understand that argument, but I don't think you'll find a coach to stay that long at many places. I especially don't think you'll find one to stay that long at Pitt. The key would be finding one that would be the anti-Graham, leaving the program better than you found it, and leaving with class. That shouldn't be too hard.
My take on what's happening on the Pittsburgh sports scene and beyond.
