per ESPN:

If former Louisville coach Rick Pitino is looking for a job, UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma says he would be open to hiring him.

"If I had a job opening? Yes," Auriemma said on Barstool Sports' Pardon My Take podcast. "Well, I mean, everybody's got baggage. You know, what are you going to do? You know, he did his time. He's serving his sentence. He lost a great, great job. And you know what? So what. That's a life sentence? I don't know, I don't think so."

Auriemma's response came when he was asked whether he'd hire Pitino if the Hall of Famer called and asked to be an assistant coach under him for a year.

Go Gophers!!
 

I think I would wait until the investigation is over Geno. Considering Rick has been mentioned to be specifically mentioned in the report as a person of interest.
