Bye Octane. Todd Graham resigns as head coach of Pitt after 11 months and takes same job at Arizona State

As a pretty frequent sports blogger, I tend to follow a lot of differnt sports sites and listen to a lot of sports talk radio, so it's pretty rare for me to be floored by something that happens in the sports world these days, especially when it pertains to news involving local Pittsburgh sports.

Well, by the time I found out about Todd Graham's decision to resign his position as Pitt head coach and take the same job at Arizona State, Graham was already in Arizona talking contract particulars with Sun Devil officials.

If you think you're stunned as a fan, I'll bet the Pitt administrators and players are just about floored.

I don't follow twitter much, but apparently, Graham's name is being dragged through the mud by the Pitt football players, some of whom are saying that their former coach just told them recently that he was in it for the long-haul.

This is just insane. I didn't think it could ever get any worse for the Panthers football program than the Mike Haywood fiasco in January.

Now, Pitt will have to begin the search for their fourth head coach since December of last year.
