The Narduzzi Contract

😂 Let me be a little more clear...

Pick any coach and let them work with the same budget, same NIL, etc.

I've seen Nick Saban coach several years when he didn't have a significant talent advantage in his days at Michigan State and with the Dolphins. It really wasn't very good. In 5 years at Michigan State, he averaged less than 7 wins per season. I'm not for certain, but I don't think he managed to go .500 in Miami.

Well even if you think the water at most programs will eventually find its level - and it very well may - sometimes you need to sell hope in order to galvanize donors, recruits, fans, etc.

The Narduzzi Contract

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.
