I'm not concerned. Long term, nothing is guaranteed, of course, but I doubt he bolts from his first job in a major conference after just one year. It's one thing to jilt FIU (or whevere the hell he was) after one year, to do it twice in two years -- one of them a BCS team -- might raise eyebrows. Plus, if he continues to have success here, the offers that will be rolling in will be a lot better than Tennessee. Hell, if he wants Lousiville whenever Rick retires, he can probably have it. My guess is that we have at least two more years with him. If we're on track for new facilities by then, I think we have every chance to keep him here long term. If at that point our boy Lou Nanne hasn't raised a dime, then we're probably in trouble. I suspect Lou gets it done and we have Pitino here for a while.
