OT: Graham Screw Job

[BoiseStateFan27]

I realize I'm mostly talking to myself here...but Pedersen needs to be run out of town. He screwed Pitt over once, left to screw up Nebraska (Nebraska, right?), came back to hire the idiot who beat his baby mamma, then was "saved" by Graham, who was really just gonna screw us over.

Yeah it's Nebraska, I think Nebraska fans here might ban you for even posting a picture of him that isn't the one that shows him with a sign saying "I ruined Nebraska football for food"

Everyone hates him.

The stuff that's coming out about how Graham handled his last few days as the Pitt HC is disgusting. A quote: "My favorite part about coaching is my relationship with players" He texts them his goodbye. According to a former Pitt QB, he spoke at a luncheon yesterday talking about commitment.

Where's Mike Ditka?

Good glad he is gone!

Man, if "Grahams guys" leave, aka the other assistant coaches, there will be NO COACHES LEFT. Irresponsibility from a bunch of grown men who basically abandoned their entire team.

He wasn't a very good coach, but the instability, especially with a decent looking incoming class, is worriesome.

The instability is my worry. Heck, I wouldn't be as mad if we hadn't lose all the other assistants. Think about it, there is NO COACH to call recruits that have committed. No one. This is hell for the future potentially.

For sure, I never liked the guy, and always knew he would leave for greener pastures, but this season was more or less rock bottom for Pitt on the field and off.

Todd Graham called Calvin Magee, Tony Gibson and Tony Dews "mercenaries" when they left for #Arizona. #Pitt

Favorite quote of the day...

I bought in. Could say I'm naive, but hell, they bought in!

At least he left before signing day, giving this class of kids the ability to seek other options.

Bad for Pitt, but the right thing to do for this class. I also think the majority of the class will stay put, including Shell who is the keystone, not that quarterback.

I feel like dirt and I was just abused. For a year

The real reason I'm so pissed.

Agreed on Shell, but heck, we have some darn good ones right NOW...QBs? Uhmmmm...yeah.

Anyone got Coach Tressel. Number ?

Haha, Street's killing it on twitter today.

By the way, you should all read and follow those guys "free tank carter" that I have been going back and forth with on twitter. They have awesome columns on Pittsburgh sports stuff.

I fell for it also but had that in the back of my head he would jump ship as soon as possible.

Anyway if Pederson can act fast I think most kids will stick around. I am surprised any kid would want to come play for him after the way he treated Sunseri.

You know I saw something about Sunseri on the sidelines saying "Wooooow" to his face or something like...didn't really understand it though. Sheesh, was it a Mariovich relationship there? I think Graham didn't like Sunseri because he's a different QB than what he wanted for his system.

@D_Street_15: Just to let yall know he just told us he's here to stay when Coach McGee left. Said him and his coaches have 5 yr contracts

Just. So. Annoyed.

Not as angry now, but I don't see what they're gonna do for the short term.

Ralph Friedgen is currently looking for work and a hell of a offensive mind.
