Some of the Siena/Pitino tweets have been funny.. "I didn’t realize Albany had that many hookers." "Siena parted ways with Patsos in part because of moral issues... now enter Rick Pitino" "Which local Italian place is gonna let him close the place down and dip his breadstick into someone's stuffed shell for 15 seconds? LOL!" "No such thing as bad publicity" lol.

The Rick Pitino story could be a PR “ploy” to give the Siena opening some free media attention.

I for one would find it a very refreshing change - we know he can coach, we know he can recruit, we know he will draw fans at the TUC and everywhere else in the MAAC - also, there are no more phone booths in our area...

I get that Pitino has had his reputation tarnished from the incidents at Louisville but this seems similar to the Giancarlo Stanton trade made between Miami and New York. We really don't seem to be going after him but he reportedly has interest. This is too good of an opportunity to pass up. As a fan I am sick of constantly getting close but not quite getting back to the NCAA tournament. The man knows how to win and would have a very good chance to get us back to the NCAA tournament this upcoming season. Not to mention that the attendance at games would increase in an incredible way. We have everything he's looking for and this would be a great way for him to remove some of the stain on his reputation. Will I be crushed if we don't get him? Obviously not but this is a hire that should be seriously considered as our program is nowhere near what it once was and needs a new breath put into it. I just want what is best for the school in both the short and long term and this could be a serious boost. If it doesn't work out it doesn't and we move on to another head coach. Whoever the next head coach is I wish nothing but the best of luck to and hope he can revive the program ASAP. Go saints!

If you think about it, outside of Becker.. There are risks with the others. The one sure fire guarantee would be Pitino. I would be all in.

If RP is serious, the ethical dilemma is an interesting one for a Franciscan college.

This Pitino thing is a hoot to talk and think about but let’s get real there are 1001 reasons why this ain’t happening. As interesting as it is to think about ... there’s way too much working against it.... My realistic top two: 1 Becker 2. Beilein Caputo tied for the second spot Actually I’m prerty content with any of the above. I just think Becker has slightly more upside as a proven commodity. Why do Siena fans continue to insist they have any shot at Becker..? Hey Tony, I thought you said no trolls?

I believe in redemption. If he truly is interested it wouldn't hurt to have a meeting of the minds.

The little guy on my left shoulder says go for it, and the little guy on my right shoulder says don’t.
I’d like to have a coach that shares the same values that I do. That would include not cheating on my wife. That’s just me.
