There are a lot of reasons HCPN might not work out at Pitt, but being difficult to work for, for the equipment manager is not going to be one of them. This has entitled 31 year employee written all over it. Probably thought he was as important as the $3M+ head football coach.Madden says his sources within the school are telling him there was a gigantic blowout between OX and Coach Duzz at a Pitt BBQ recently. He says former players have since emailed him to confirm this today. Madden ended segment saying, "Duzz may turn out to be a good football coach for Pitt, but he is a bad person, hard to work for."
I know he's fat, ugly, and needs to stick to hockey. Just passing on what was said about this on his show today.
.
Heard he left on his ownMadden just gave another detail about the Ox vs Duzz dust up. Apparently Duzz order OX to clean up after everyone recently at the yearly BBQ. OX refused, leading to the disagreement and his firing after over 30 years with the team.
That is pretty damn sad for Duzz to do that to such a respected guy.
Madden is right, again.
Because when old players come back or anybody associated comes back, they go see Junko and spend hours with him. Force him out and not let him call his own shot when he wants to go.....you won’t have anybody looking at this program. Bad news travels and people don’t like seeing people they care about disrespected.
It’s not about what he’s doing to get kids here, it’s about what he does after they get here. Go ask any player who’s played at Pitt for the past 30 years and you’ll hear it. I heard it again a few weeks ago from 4 former players at a family function. He’s loved more than any coach on the staff by far.
Get real. It was an on-going issue. Only a moron would believe everything was fine until this BBQ.
Yeah I don’t think another program who has local alums have had such lack of interest and support for their adapted mother.the "former players" have been pretty much useless here; Kristofic & Apke being exhibits 1A & 1B.
No one making large donations is going to stop making large donations because 72 year old Bob Junko is no longer at Pitt.
Ummm. I just went and he posted 2 things, with one being a meme about loyalty. Hardly earth shattering
Why would Alan or Dipaola not report about the blow up by Duzz? Are they scared of losing their media access? Pansies.
How's your donation coming there Ski?No Pitt players appear to be making large donations. That’s part of the problem.
How's your donation coming there Ski?
Check's in the mail! Oh it got lost???
How can you talk about players donations when you don't give a dime to PITT.
You don't by PITT athletic tickets and you don't attend games.
Typical "talking out of both sides of your mouth" kinda guy!
PITT needs more fans just like you!
Critical of the program yet you do nothing to help!
You and people like you are part of the problem for PITT athletics and will never be part of the solution!

Go PITT & CSU Rams!

Who the F throws a BBQ at their house and makes a guest clean up after other people? I love Duzz more than anyone, but thats a prick move.
When there's smoke there's fire. I'm sure it wad completely made up and Duzz did nothing wrong.Has that rumor been substantiated?

You're taking the pendulum to the other extreme simply because I asked a question when you made a declarative statement.When there's smoke there's fire. I'm sure it wad completely made up and Duzz did nothing wrong.
Hmmm
He had been promised a raise each of the last two offseasons. Didn't get it again this year. Had been thinking about leaving for a few months if it did not happen.
Finally ! tada !
Ok, then why are several former Pitt football players openly upset about the firing? I'm sure its a total coincidence and you're completely right!I ain't buying that.... The more plausible explanation is that Narduzzi asked all the non-players to help clean up after the party and Ox refused for whatever reason... I also don't believe this was the only issue that caused this friction between Ox and Narduzzi... Ox probably didn't feel appreciated and decided to resign.

Probably because they aren't very smart, but they were close to the guy. Far, far, far more players have said nothing and don't care at all.Ok, then why are several former Pitt football players openly upset about the firing? I'm sure its a total coincidence and you're completely right!
Yes, they are upset because he's no longer there. Was he fired?
Let's go on the assumption that he was forced out....
I can't believe that refusing to clean up at a barbecue would cause his dismissal. There has to be other issues.
If that's the case then we can conclude a couple of things:
1. Lyke is stupid. There is no indication of that.
2. Narduzzi is a tyrant. There is no indication of that either. All the players and the parents I have spoken to love Narduzzi. The alumni love him as well.
So you can draw your own conclusions...
I believe that Ox didn't feel appreciated and resigned or this is a matter of complacency and entitlement that reeks in the athletic department for years and Lyke is continuing to clean house....
You do realize that that poster just signed up today, right.
I would believe the guy who signed up today to post something that actually makes sense, rather than the other nonsense people are insinuating.
