at least I won't be a hypocrite like you. Hope you enjoy reminiscing about the joys of your hero Wannstedt and the highwater mark of a 3rd place finish in a crap conference and a tire bowl victory. At least I try to do something to improve it while you whine on an anonymous message board proudly proclaiming your ignorance

After losing to Navy on a Wednesday night game (OT?) in the Wanny era, I went home and burned my Antonio Bryant jersey and vowed to never go to another game.

I renewed my season tix the next year and every year until 2020.

After a bad loss to VT in the majors II era, I quit watching Pitt football "for good this time" and fortunately missed a bunch of the 96' debacle.

I stupidly decided to come back after watching the Miami win on TV in 97'.

After getting 52'd by WVU for like the 3rd straight year and being verbally assaulted by WVU fans leaving our own stadium I once again said screw this program.

There was a game against PSU in the Gottfried era where he had a 4th and goal at the 1 at the end of the game and tried a tying fg instead of the win. We of course missed the chip shot fg to lose. I refused to ever watch another Pitt game ever until he was fired. I recall that he was fired a few weeks later and thus I gut sucked back in for the Hackett fiasco.

I think I've quit on these losers at least 6 times. Every time I do, it brings joy and contentment to not get pissed off constantly by the never ending stupidity of Pitt football. Something stupid always brings me back though.

I think the key is that I need to find something equally addictive but less destructive to fill whatever deep void I have that keeps me coming back.

I've decided to try heroin out (after the holidays of course). I've heard good things.

Clawson has been .500 at a school that's historically .421. He has a better career winning percentage than the previous *12* coaches going back to 1937-1950. They were the only non Clemson division winner over an eight year period.

Coaches should be judged vs their budget/attendance/NIL funds and not thin air. Wake is much harder to win at than most ACC schools. If I were an athletic director at UNC, I'd be more eager for a change than at Wake.

Pitt and Narduzzi? Somewhere in the middle. Hes overperformed compared to our post 1982 average and won more ACC games than he should considering our finances but he's also slumping badly now.

I am not ignoring it; I am rejecting it. And it appears you are ignoring the reality that nil fanboys like yourself are a small minority. So, if you are worried about the state of Pitt football, I recommend you double or triple your donation. Let's see how that goes.

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.

Georgia Tech is currently 17th in recruiting rankings. I can't be convinced they have some seismic NIL advantage over us. Maybe don't alienate the entire local recruiting base.

Louisville lost to Stanford. They are in with a bunch of other middling schools. And they rolled us.

I DO get that a head coach in college sports is responsible for the roster too. So it’s a perfectly legit conversation to want more from PN at this point. 7-4 coming off of 3-9 would be acceptable if we felt momentum was building. But we are right back where we started now.

That said - blaming game day coaching is lazy, and people do it because it’s the easiest way to envision your team being good again.

But the talent level after the injuries is not good. Louisville played SMU,Miami, and ND to one score games. They were better than a their record

Is this age of free agency and NIL, watch how many Pitt players on this team jump after this year. I suspect it will be more than a handful. And many will be in key skill positions. Not that we have many.

Ah, right; I was mixing two thoughts. But do you think, in this day and age, they would let a kid play the week after getting a concussion and then let him play again after sustaining two in three games and only missing one week? I honestly don't think he was concussed against Syracuse.
