I think what happened is this....Panteras incorrectly assumed that Stache meant Pickett would lose his starting job to Jurkovic. Stache never said that. Somehow in all the quoting/re-quoting things got confused.
Jurkovic really needs to sit down and think this through. Barring injury, there is no way he plays significantly next year. So do you transfer and sit out a year or stay at ND and basically sit out a year? And either at Pitt or ND, he would have to compete for the starting job in 2021. The questions he needs to ask.....Where does he have a better chance of winning the starting job at? Which offense is better suited to him and would showcase his skills for the NFL? I know what my answer would be but of course I'm biased.
