PORT JEFF, NY – unfortunately there’s *no football this week, but I’ve got you covered; Pitino Reaches 900, Giants OC Search Continues
Pitino Reaches 900
Rick Pitino secured his 900th win as a college head coach after defeating his son Richard in a thrilling match-up against Xavier on Saturday. This milestone comes in the wake of Providence’s home loss, where St. John’s overcame significant challenges to reestablish themselves in the national conversation. The Red Storm have surged back into the top 25 with seven consecutive victories, including an impressive win this week over a strong Butler team. This recent run underscores Pitino’s enduring sharpness, highlighted by his strategic move to insert transfer Dillon Mitchell into the starting lineup, adding another guard alongside All-American candidate Zuby Ejiofor and Bryce Hopkins. With this potent combination, the Red Storm appear as primed as ever to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
Giants OC Search
The Giants’ search for a new offensive coordinator continues following the hiring of John Harbaugh as the team’s head coach. The organization is seeking the ideal candidate to work alongside superstar rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Many had speculated that Todd Monken would fill the role, but he recently accepted the head coaching position with the Cleveland Browns, leaving the Giants without an offensive coordinator in place. It is critical for the team to identify someone who believes in Dart as much as, if not more than, Brian Daboll did. This will mark Dart’s second offensive coordinator in just his second season, making the decision pivotal to his development. Around the league, teams have been pairing young quarterbacks with coordinators they trust—such as the Bears bringing in Ben Johnson for Caleb Williams and the Commanders hiring Kliff Kingsbury for Jayden Daniels. Now, the Giants must find the right partner to guide Dart to success.
*NOTE from Management:
No football?! Horse hockey! Football’s father, Rugby Football, is sizzling.
