You wait this long to find a coach and this is what you come up with ?

What a mess...

The last Pittsburgh coach to jump to the PAC, was Walt Harris, so Mr. Graham has a legacy to live up to.

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Paul Hackett is another former PITT head coach who later coached in the PAC.


Remember him ?

From Espn:

"I have resigned my position at Pitt in the best interest of my family to pursue the head coaching position at Arizona State," Graham said in a text message sent to players on the Pittsburgh team. "Coaching there has always been a dream of ours and we have family there. The timing of the circumstances have prohibited me from telling you this directly. I now am on my way to Tempe to continue those discussions. God Bless. Coach Graham."



Class act.

Hardly a class act. Dude was telling his players to take a dive during the UoH-Tulsa game in 2009 when Houston's hurry-up offense was killing them.

He also finished inking a long term deal with the Rice Owls, did a presser about it and 24 hours later announced he was taking the job at Tulsa. Word is, when he finished the press conference and walked off the podium, his cell phone rang as he was headed to a nearby restroom. After he came out of the restroom, he called the Rice AD and told him he was leaving.

He's a piece of shit.

Wow, Pedey really knows how to pick 'em. First a guy that has his team turn on him, then domestic-abuse guy, now a guy that sneaks-out with a text? Karma for undermining Solich constantly then firing him with a note under the door is really coming back in spades.

This is a strange hire by ASU, Graham didn't have a good season at Pitt, first the June Jones debacle now this?
