If you want to talk results, Pitt isn't going to get any better results than they have already gotten under Narduzzi. Doesn't matter if the coach is Narduzzi or someone else. That isn't defeatist. It's reality.

Most coaching changes are good to clear the air and feed some grass to the sheep. There really isn't that much substance behind them unless it relates to a procurement of talent. And 4 or 5 years ago, it mattered. Today it really doesn't. Indiana got their bump because Cigs was able to bring over an ungodly number of upperclassmen & IU's schedule was ass. Next year, the Hoosiers will go right back to being irrelevant.

They can keep Narduzzi, fire Narduzzi, whatever... Success isn't really possible or sustainable without getting high end talent. Can't be done.

Lol, where to even begin with this.

1. Stability - this is an adjective people use when there really isn't anything all that appealing to say about a coach. It's like a realtor saying a house has potential. Everybody knows what you're saying. Who cares about stability? I want results. Narduzzi was 8-4 and 8-4 in history first two seasons here. In his most two recent he'll be 3-9 and 7-5. Tell me more about this "stability." If anything it's time to experience the recruiting bump that comes with bringing in a new coach.

2. What a sanctimonious take to act like we couldn't do any better with anyone else. Like, that's borderline insane. You'd have told me Syracuse couldn't do any better than Dino Babers if you were a fan of them. Nope, after Dino averaging 5 wins for 8 years, they're going to win 8 or 9 this season. You'd have told me Kansas couldn't make a bowl again before Leipold got there. You'd have told me there's no way 1-11 Colorado could go 8-3 in year two of a new coach's tenure. Do you want 1,000 more examples? Ever hear of a school called Indiana?

Guess what we're also proving? Stability doesn't mean a damn thing. Ask Wake Forest how they're enjoying years 10 and 11 of Dave Clawson.

To say that people don't understand that Narduzzi is the best we can do... get out of here with that defeatist nonsense.

If we can all agree that College sports (and I'll focus on football for the sake of this board) is now "all about the Benjamins", is the NCAA at a tipping point to either

a) pay the players [as opposed to NIL deals] and maybe establish a spending "cap" so that all P4 programs can compete on a mostly level playing field?

-- or --

b) continue to allow programs to run rampant with their boosters without any control or consequences?

For those who followed the recent flip (our DB recruit and LSU's QB recruit) of highly touted players to Michigan, of course $ matters. Probably the biggest reason for Pitt.

But if a program like Michigan can outspend LSU you then got to wonder if it's the money or the coach? I'd think the Wolverines and Tigers would each have unlimited assets to make sure a 5 star prospect stays committed. Did that QB not want to play for Brian Kelly, maybe?
