I think Stanford will hire Walt Harris, but I'm not sure if that's good or bad for USF.

[E.T.]

Harris grew up in the bay area and the AD there hired him back at Pacific ... the writings on the wall.

And maybe Ty goes to Pitt  ???

We (The Big East) needs Pitt & L'ville to continue their rise ... as USF NEEDS to also.

Go BULLS !!!

[smazza]

harris got lucky this year the big east sucks so bad

Dave Wanstedt may be the new PITT coach if Walt leaves.

Stanford Interviews Pittburgh's Harris

By JANIE McCAULEY

STANFORD, Calif. - Pittsburgh coach Walt Harris interviewed at Stanford on Friday for the school's coaching vacancy. Stanford officials said Harris was on campus to meet with athletic director Ted Leland, who hired Harris as football coach at Pacific in 1989, when Leland was the AD there.

Harris met with Leland two days after Southern California offensive coordinator Norm Chow visited to interview for the job.

 

Now that Leland has interviewed his top two candidates, a decision on Buddy Teevens' successor could come soon _ perhaps by the end of the weekend. Teevens was fired Nov. 28 after three straight losing seasons.

Leland is looking for a coach with a strong offensive background after Stanford struggled to score during Teevens' tenure. The Cardinal went 4-7 the past two seasons, losing their last five games this year. They were 0-13 down the stretch the past three seasons.

Harris, Pitt's eighth-year coach, has plenty of connections to the Bay Area. He grew up in South San Francisco and attended college at Pacific in Stockton, where he also began his college coaching career directing the secondary.

He has the 19th-ranked Panthers in the Fiesta Bowl against Utah on Jan. 1 and was Big East coach of the year this season.

Pitt hasn't offered Harris an extended deal at more money than the estimated $600,000 a season he currently makes, though sophomore quarterback Tyler Palko has campaigned for the school to bring him back.

Chow has directed the top-ranked Trojans' offense for four years.

The 58-year-old Chow hasn't been a head coach since 1970-72 at Waialua High in Hawaii. Chow, who is of Chinese descent, has talked about wanting to be the first Asian American to be head coach at a major college.

Dave Wanstedt may be the new PITT coach if Walt leaves.

Oh please, let it be true. That would guarantee USF no worse than seventh in Big East football.

I think Stanford will hire Walt Harris, but I'm not sure if that's good or bad for USF.

Depends on who they get to replace him. But I don't think his leaving Pitt is an indictment of the Big East. Pitt was trying to get rid of him the whole first half of the season, so I don't fault him for lacking loyalty to them.
