The ousted Louisville coach is apparently feeling pretty bitter.

Rick Pitino has maintained he’s innocent during this whole saga with Louisville’s men’s basketball program.

So, you can imagine that he’s been feeling pretty bitter about everything since he got fired by the Cardinals earlier this month.

Pitino, 65, reportedly told a radio host that he plans to never step foot in the state of Kentucky again. Louisville sports radio’s Ramsey and Rutherford detailed the conversation.

“I actually had this conversation with Coach Pitino,” Ramsey told his listeners. “He says he will never step foot back in the state of Kentucky. He’s feeling pretty bitter right now and that might change, and I want to not believe that, but he sounded pretty determined and staunch on his stance.”

Pitino maintains a love for the program, though.

Pitino says if Louisville wanted to bring him back tomorrow he would be back tomorrow. — rickbozich (@rickbozich) October 25, 2017
