View From Bennett Avenue


In the middle of the overload of football games being played this week came the news that recent Pitt coaching hire Mike Haywood was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman, who was the mother of his child, in his/their South Bend home. By the time he was released on bail, the charge was upped to a felony and he was out of a job. This is not a situation whereby one has to wait for a potential trial as just the fact that he put himself in a situation that got him placed in jail is enough of a reason to can him. Hopefully he will be proven innocent, or if guilty get the punishment he deserves and treatment.

The Panthers are back to square one. As we have already discussed here, their AD Steve Pederson has proven to be woeful when it comes to hiring coaches. Who does he turn to now? There is plenty of Internet chatter about Rich Rodriguez, should he be fired from his job at Michigan. But can Pitt fans embrace a former enemy? And don't we as fans need a year or two off from him? I know I do. Why not give a shot to K.C. Keeler (pictured), the head man at Delaware? He lacks fbs experience but is a Pennsylvania man and certainly knows how to win.
