I like scoring points. I like up tempo if used correctly. There are times to slow down, which Graham didn’t seem to realize. I believe it was the Iowa game he blew because he kept going fast, leading to 3 and outs. It drained the defense.
Not a fit for Narduzzi. Too Young. Too religious. Has not coached at this level..
Not sure about the other stuff being a factor but they guy ran an offense with Tom Brady at QB.
I read the same, that he runs offenses with a dual threat qb which has never seemed to have been Nardo’s choice. Seems like an odd possibility given Nardo’s history of offenses.
Different Leftwich
Mack, who is under consideration for the job, was a scrappy QB for NA a few years ago. His dad was Pitt's OL coach.
It’s him and he made Texas states offense super powered this year after being trash the year before.
Yep. He coached at UIW.

Yep, he played at NA. His dad, Spencer, was the Steelers’ OL coach. Not Pitt’s.
I’m just surprised that Narduzzi is considering him because this would be so far outside of his wheelhouse. He’d also likely only be here for 2-3 years max, but why not be part of his rise to the top?Yep. He coached at UIW.

Leftwich would be an exciting hire IMO. Would need some different kinds of personnel than Pitt currently has to do what he does, but that’s where the portal comes in handy.
🤷♂️ I have no feel at all for this one.
Spencer Leftwich was Pitt's OL coach under Todd Graham.
He was on Todd Graham's staff at Pitt, not the Steelers. TG brought him from Tulsa.
Which is ironic because, on the surface, Leftwich would be a good thing for Texas native Nate Yarnell. Not sure he fits the description of “dual threat” though.
You do realize that Leftwich had absolutely nothing to do with the Tampa Bay offense when Tom Brady was there, don't you? He may have held a title on a piece of paper, but that was all Tom Brady there at Tampa Bay.
Sorry, I did think that you were referring to Byron Leftwich. My bad.
In his two years at NA, Leftwich had over 7,000 in Total Offense and 91 TD's...by himself...65 passing TD's and 26 rushing TD's...2 time All State and POY in 2012 when he led NA to a state championship.
This is why you don't recruit wpial QBs. Leftwich was a good but not elite qb by Texas standards but a dominant passer in the wpial. Sad decline for the once great wpial.
