In response to an article by Bruce Feldman highlighting JMU’s success… is this to imply he knows something? Or is this just what he thinks “should” happen?

I had no idea Sal Sunseri was Coach Prime's DT coach. I think Shanahan has just as good of a chance of being Pitt's OC next year as Cignetti. Would his QB coach, Tino, come with him? I'd be for it. I like coach's kids.

I assume that’d be the case since, assuming Cignetti doesn’t return next season, we’d need a new offensive coordinator *and* QB Coach.

What I find interesting from that Tweet is the idea of bringing Holley back as well. We already have two secondary coaches in Sanders and Collins… who leaves in that scenario?

You like coach's kids except for Coach Frank Cignetti Sr's kids?

And Jay Paterno.

I am doubling down on saying Pitt should have hired JayPa as a position coach. At that time, with PSU reeling, I felt he could recruit the best PA kids away from PSU. I know everyone thinks this is a ridiculous idea but we had a window and blew it. Would this have been successful? Maybe not but that last name carries weight.

You're on a roll today. I'm going to hang up and listen.

Yes because Jay would have jumped at the opportunity to take a job at his disgraced, dying father’s premiere rival.

Now there's a Message Board Genius post if there ever was one.
 
There are so many bright, young offensive minds out there. Look at how many young OCs in the NFL are getting head coaching jobs. I'd love Narduzzi to go this direction for once. I'm not worried about what school they come from if they have a good system and can call plays. You don't even need a long-term answer. If you get an OC who can come in and light it up for 2-3 years before earning a better OC job or HC job that'd mean a lot of success for Pitt.

I'm pretty sure that most PSU fans would have been very happy to have had this happen.
 
Jay was a terrible recruiter for PSU. Every single blue chip QB out of PA went elsewhere under his watch and he was often used by other schools as a reason not to go to PSU.
Did he not get Morrelli to flip from Pitt to PSU? Of course, hindsight proves that wasn't much of a coup, but he was still a blue chip recruit.
 
I would only be interested in Shanny as the OC out of this group. His O looks close to what we have now but I think he would be a better recruiter.

Also, why are the Ped St fans always on the Pitt site?

I like Shanahan because, like Marion, he is putting up points at a program that doesn't have any advantages over the teams they play. Yea, they were an elite FCS program but at this level, they shouldn't be any better than any random Sun Belt team

See when off the booze you can post well!
 
Curt Cignetti is the main factor in JMU's offensive success. He's very hands on when it comes to his offense.

Go Dukes!

Who knows. Can we do better than Mike Shanahan? Yes. But if we are going to hire a mid-major OC or some random P5 RB coach to become our OC, I'd rather hire Shanahan. He's winning, he's a Pitt guy, and I feel like recruits would rather play for young coaches

This is such a distortion of reality.

Is UGA any better than any random FBS school? The cream comes to the top, regardless of conference. That reality seems to elude you.
