Outright this disagree with respect to your post that are good on the Lair.A Coach like Narduzzi BEST THING to do at PITT is just keep coaching up his Players, Recruit as hard as he can, and then coach them them into better Players too. This is how Great and Elite Coaches do it every day, not think about it, but do it. Winning comes from coaching the players into complete Teams. The rest takes care oif itself. This is what Narduzzi is doing!
It is Franklin looking at his 7-5 record and then holding Press Conferences to explain his Plan and firing his OC to improve his Coaching so he can win better, but he is not making it happen. Great Coaching of Players brings on bigger Winning, it is that simple. Any other thoughts and actions of not doing that causes losing?
Do I want him to leave? Hell no! He seems great so far. But if the choice is, he stays just good enough that we are better than usual and nobody really wants him OR he reels off five or six 10-12 seasons, impresses everybody, and blows town with a bundle, I'd rather wave good bye, thank him for doing what we wanted a Pitt coach to do, and wish him luck.
There is no choice as far as Narduzzi is concern, he just keeps doing his job by coaching and not thinking about his future. His future is every day he coaches in the present, not plans for his future?
Of course I want him to have that big success and figure out a way to keep him. But I don't want him staying because nobody else wants him, because that means we aren't that much better because of him. We don't want to be hovering at a "Wanny Level" where we are just good enough, the guy is a local guy and he excites nobody else.
Narduzzi could care less what we as fans want or think about right now. He is doing what his Players need and want to do to become better Players, end of story. Talk about his future winning and then leaving is just that talk, and that is Franklin is doing talking instead of coaching, unlike Narduzzi!
Win BIG 1st, and then worry about keeping him later.
Coach up Players first into compete Teams that execute in every game, and winning comes from that, nothing else!
