That was horseshit! You can’t call that. An entire season these teams play and it could potentially come down to a poor ref decision

If anything, that's a yellow card on the Cornell player for simulation but most certainly not a red card on us.

So just to recap, SMF said LSU couldn’t shoot and was being blown out. Reality - LSU put up 109 and covered.

Oh I get it believe me. With that history it’s very hard to argue against it. And unless there’s some major money people coming forward it’s not gonna change.

Bussing students to campus for 25 years, and being a bottom feeder the 10 years prior, and running great coaches off the 10 years before that, pretty much ensured that there won't be any mega donors riding in to save the program. Affinity matters, and Pitt didn't cultivate it when things mattered most, as students.

That's the ceiling for the Pitt program, outside of the 10 win season once every 40 years.

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.

There is the flipside…I don’t blame posters for getting it off their chest. After a day or two, you need clarity. What separates posters on this board is how long do they continue to rant and be irrational.

Bitter losses are not limited to Pitt football. If you want a sorry group of fans to talk to, try Texas A&M. Their last National Championship was in 1939. They have more money than God. They have great support. They hire and fire coaches at will, and they still can’t get it done. They don’t believe in stability; they believe in results and they ain’t getting’ them.

Some others to consider:

Ole Miss – Last National Championship: 1960
Arkansas - Last National Championship: 1964
Iowa - Last National Championship: 1958
Kentucky – No National Championship
South Carolina – No National Championship

There’s lots more schools that are bigger, have more money and better support that I could list…You don’t think they want to win???? How about our contemporaries:

VT, NC, NCST, Virginia, Duke, WVU, Louisville, Wake, BC…. How many National Championships and conference titles do they have? Besides Clemson, FSU and Miami, they got nothing on Pitt…I can go on and on…

How many players do these schools have that are in the PFHOF? CFHOF? How many All-Americans?

Narduzzi is not perfect. Does he piss me off? Hell yes. The fact remains that he’s the best we’ve had since Majors/Sherrill. You don’t believe me?

Compare records. Compare most wins against teams that finished in the Top 25. Compare conference championships. Compare Narduzzi’s best wins against previous head coaches not named Majors and Sherrill. How about All-Americans? MSU has not been the same since Narduzzi left. Truth.

Could we do better? Maybe. But how long before he gets poached? It’s not that easy. If you fire Narduzzi tomorrow, you’ll get the same results or worse from the next coach. I believe that 100%

The answer is not an on-campus stadium or changing head coaches and buying out their contracts.

It’s more money. Mo money = better players, recruiters and coaches.

Kind of an odd bit of scheduling considering they are traveling to Las Vegas to play Notre Dame on Tuesday and Alabama on Wednesday.

The fact that it was upheld upon review is even more shocking

Stability = how long anyone keeps you around. He’s certainly stabilized that Pitt is a 6-6 to 8-4 type of program with an occasional outlier though.
