Pat Narduzzi: The Pitt coach has been an interesting case in these rankings. I'm curious if his gruff persona affects how people view him, which causes him to miss out on some of the credit he deserves, considering what he's accomplished with the Panthers. He's won an ACC title and played for another, which is more than plenty of other ACC coaches ranked ahead of him can say. That said, his teams can also be a tough watch at times! That was the case last season when the Panthers finished 3-9 after going 20-7 over the previous two seasons. It was Narduzzi's worst season at Pitt, and his stock took a hit amongst our pollsters. 2023 rank: 29 (-9)
