I didn't catch the whole Narduzzi phone call at 0730 this morning. Anything said about the OC?
 
no, one question about it, Dunlap asked if he was looking for one and Duzzer said he is in Baltimore looking for football players..

Not great interview.. They talked a tad about Max Browne and the new lineman from florida.. no real substance, "they are good players, working hard. blah blah". Pretty generic interview, nothing of note..

Colony did ask a good question about how involved he is in defense and Duzzer said he delegates it, lets the coordinators run the offense/defense and he adds input. Did say they need to fix the back end of that defense.. Also did say that they want a coordinator to run "Their system." That can be interpreted many ways..
 
force feeding a "system" on the new oc is not a good idea. its just like the next time we hire an DC, will be hard to find a quality guy if he knows it won't be his system.

yeah, comment was off a bit. I mean, what is our system? Are we a jet sweep team because we ran it one year? are we a "Chaney system" guy because we ran that for one year. I don't really think pitt has a system, especially since our QB left and he was the one that really made it work with the quick reads..
 
I think we could hire anyone and it would be like Canada this year. Basically we line up and run a pro style offense, anything innovative you wanna run can be through that. But they're not gonna let a spread offense type guy totally revamp the offense to something like that, you know an offense that wouldn't involve George Aston. The new coordinator can run it his way, I think he's just basically saying he can't completely overhaul the offense to a system we don't have players for a la Graham in 2011 with tino and co. Running the spread.

I am not up on the specific details and leave that to Posters, Peak's Podcasts, and enjoying reading and learning from them

However, as I see few details that pleased me in 2016 was how Game Plans Innovations design to use Player's Talent were ready, Player's executed with focus and formation changes often without penalties, and especially it was not just the play but WHEN to call that play that confused many other Defenses?

Chaney set that up, but Canada took that to a new level, and hope the next OC uses both. The Offensive Team was a joy to watch and were consistent, dependable, and often more mistake free than previous, Harris, Wannstedt, Graham and Chryst Tenures!

I think it is good a New OC is coming in with a New QB but working with what Chaney & Canada developed should be complimented, augmented, since it has the Player's Comfortable to maintain it, with the New OC's Innovations Terminology to keep that kind of Superb Executable Consistent Performances in every game.

The Pitt Offense does not need big changes just keep it going and improving as seen the last 2 years.

Defense is another matter and leave that to Coach Pat & Staff!

Special Teams have been greatly improved and superb since Coach Pat arrived, unlike Coach Chryst that could careless and it showed!
