Fwiw, our next steps as far as coaching goes a person who I trust and is well connected to the college landscape told me pitino wanted the sju job badly. He wanted to come for 3.5 million and if sju would of agreed, he was ours... Sju wanted mullin from the start. Lavin knew this and discussions with mullin started a while ago. Lavin was a dead man walking as soon as sju knew mullin would accept.
