Consider the Kevin Stallings tenure at Pittsburgh as 2 lost seasons of Panther basketball. This was universally hailed as at worst a crippling hire that could set the Pitt program back years.

Loyola Chicago’s run to the Final 4 means the College Football Playoffs should expand. Over and over and I see this all over twitter.
