It has legs. I didn't listen to Pitino's show but it sounds like he made it feel like it would take 6 straight wins to save his bacon. This team is not going to win 6 straight games. It sounds like Coyle told Pitino that they need to make the NCAAs or it would be time to move on.Pretty bad by Lake to pretend to be a reporter.
His current standing in my mind is no longer a reputable person and now no more than random guy on twitter
if what he had had legs, it would be confirmed by another source by now
It has legs in that it is going to happen. It doesn’t have legs that it already happened. His tweet said Pitino has been informed he won’t be backIt has legs.

Utterly preposterous, some real black and white thinking.Pretty bad by Lake to pretend to be a reporter.

He is a “reporter” he said Pitino has already been told.Utterly preposterous, some real black and white thinking.

Maybe he assumed it was on the verge of coming out, and everyone would pick it up.He is a “reporter” he said Pitino has already been told.
Has Pitino already been told?
If yes, Lake is the only one who has it.
If no, it’s professionally irresponsible
Very similar to how the snake dealt with a former head football coach.Coyle saying that he won't comment until after the season over, in no way refutes what Lake Tweeted about.
That's just Coyle "playing it straight", as well put by another poster in one of the other threads.
Sheesh
This. I mentioned the same thing on another thread. Based on his Tuesday show, Pitino needs to win the last 2 games and then 4 games in the Tourney.
He was very very SPECIFIC in saying 6 games.
He is not a reporter. He is a radio host who shared some information he has from a source, which is likely very reputable given his connections in the community. Take it for what it is though, a radio host, not a reporter at the Star Tribune or even WCCO Radio who needs to have multiple sources to go with the story.He is a “reporter” he said Pitino has already been told.

I think Henry jumped the gun in making a firing sound like a done deal.
Henry probably would have been more accurate to say "Pitino knows him getting fired is a strong, strong possibility."

Saying that the conversation has already been had if it hasn’t is a fireable offense for many newsrooms and at least a retraction for all. Apparently not wccoI think Henry jumped the gun in making a firing sound like a done deal.

Tweeting isn't reporting. Dude, just stop.A media person reporting an unconfirmed story is irresponsible whether he is a “reporter” or not
he either has it and it is the biggest scoop ever that he should keep talking about
Or he is reporting rumor and it is totally unprofessional

Wcco, his employer, won’t run it as fact either. What does that tell youBut I guess we can't really know if he was right until after the season, right? His tweet said that Pitino was told he won't return but he will coach out the season. So far, none of that has been proven to be incorrect. Just because the Strib won't run with it as fact, doesn't mean it's not.

It tells me that WCCO has different standards for its news department than it does for its entertainment talent. Just like pretty much every broadcast media outlet in the country.Wcco, his employer, won’t run it as fact either. What does that tell you

Coule was visibly upset when Claeys won his bowl game, even given what he stated beforehand. I ised to have the pic to prove it. Kaler and Co we’re celebrating and Coyle was visibly disgusted.I didn't take that quote to mean he has to win six games to keep his job. I took his quote was more like "I believe Mark is rooting for me to win the final two games and go win four games at the BTT (meaning he would win it)."
I think he was just proclaiming Coyle is pulling for success, not rooting against it.
I didn't take it to mean he needed to win six games.
If he wasn’t told he was gone at the end of the year, Lake is not correct.People need to relax.
Lake was probably correct and accurate.
Just because Pitino isn't coming back doesn't mean that he was told he was fired immediately.
He's going to finish the season.
I think we all know that. Only way he wouldn't is if Pitino starts trashing Coyle and the school.
