Yet another reason to bet against Pitt next year.

Knowing SMU's luck, Pitt will win the NC next year.

Maybe we're just the HEAD coaching graveyard?

Does this mean that Tumpkin is a 'quitter' or just looking for greener pastures?

That is pretty lame to make a pit stop at UCF like that.

It's even funnier because I didn't realize it until you just pointed it out.

"Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said Tumpkin will also work with the special teams."

Look out Big East! Here comes the Swingin' Gate!!!!!!

Hahaha, I'd love to see anyone else run the ole gate.

Several teams run the swinging gate. I believe Texas A&M does. Some Pac 10 school (Oregon??) ran it last year in a televised game and actually executed the 2 point conversion. It really is not a rare sight.

Hmmm.... an excuse to watch MORE college football. I remember A&M running it once or twice. But that's it.

I don't get the Bennett bashing. He didn't make it as a head coach in a very difficult situation at SMU. But he's got skins as a DC and ought to do a fine job at Pitt.

True, he went' "all out" at SMU and just couldn't turn it around.
