be sitting on a 6-game losing streak at this point next week.
Is his seat starting to get warm in Sparty land?

Dantonio could very well...
- Thread starter Safety Blitz
- Start date
Only if you believe Narduzzi is the only coach in the country who can be successful at Pitt. I don't believe that.
Seasons like this happen sometimes. Dantonio shouldn't feel any heat concerning his job security.
Repeat after me: He got Michigan State to the College Football Playoff.
He will retire at MSU and only after they build him a statue. Nobody will force him to step down.
And can we please stop acting like a) Narduzzi would want to go back and b) he's the only coach MSU would even have interest in.

We better start paying more , before we lose coaches. This is a pay upfront business, and we are paying the man peanuts still
You people are weird......my god
LMAO. So much stupidity on this board it's incredible.

Could be more evidence that Narduzzi was very important component to MSU winning? Another example Pitt made the right choice, thank you! Narduzzi just won his Top 25 Signature Win now that Penn State in the Top 25!
It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't an identical thread last week....
Well, ok, it would still be bad, but this amazingly ups it.
Sorry Captain. Can't make it retroactive. Gotta be in the Top 25 at the time to count.
This is like saying should Pitt fire Jamie Dixon after the CBI season. In the last 3 seasons, Dantonio has taken Michigan Freakin State to the Rose, Cotton, and CFP. Michigan Freakin State. He will coach there as long as he wants.
Imagine what kind of individual starts this thread mere hours after a huge win for his program. And a non-rivals board no less. What kind of individual you must be.
I quite agree to disagree, and many are predicting PSU will be Top 25 at 10-2?well, if you can't make it retroactive then ND, MSU, Texas, Iowa are Top 25 Ranked Teams right now, based on that logic? No one cares where a Team starts in its season, it is where they end up after the season?
The Final Top 25 Ranking is far better indicator of those Teams seasons not the Preseason, or even Mid-Season! Pitt under Walt and Wannstedt beat VT many times when it was in the Top 25 and only to see VT did not make it by the end of season?
I do not count the Preseason Ranking Teams nor the Current Ranking Teams Games still going on as proof of a Signature Win, any Team can beat anyone that is Ranked at that time. I still think this is going to remain a Signature Win for Franklin nonetheless, but after the season Final Rankings. I also have no problem if others want to call it now, because that is still true right now?
It the Top 25 Ranked Teams at the end of season that is proof that another Team beat a Top 25 Ranked Team as a Signature Win for all 5 months not a moment in time or week to week?. I do not mind if disagree with me.
I was talking about Dantonio's recent demise since Narduzzi left even after its great season last year? Whether it is a trend we shall soon see. Franklin meets them in 12th game, Iowa Ferentz too in 9th game. Pitt has VT, Miami and Clemson far tougher. MSU did beat ND and Iowa knocked off
Purdue, Indiana and Rutgers are easier than Duke and Cuse too, both Duke & Cuse have Signature Wins by your count when they beat ND & VT respectively?
The way I call it, if OSU is Ranked by the end of 2016 and they will be in my opinion, PSU has won a Signature Win! If PSU is ranked so will Pitt!
The way I see it last year Franklin got his Signature Win when SDSU ended up in the Top 25 in 2015, even though the were not Ranked when PSU played them? Holgrosen has had a few Signature Wins as well against Top Ranked Teams in the Final Top 25?
MSU, Texas, Iowa, ND, Miami, all have been Ranked In Preseason and during the season, not there anymore, maybe some will comeback. Signature Wins count against Teams for the entire season not high flying passers by that don't walk the entire season ending up outside the Top 25 Ranking Destination Day recorded after NCS Title Game Day Results Votes!

Les Miles, Les Miles, is there a Les Miles in the house? ... sounds like his resume....
That seems stupid. What if a top player was out or it was at the start of the season and a team was over ranked or under ranked? Oh, I forget. This would make Pitt look better and we certainly can have that.
Really counted on this thread being here this morning. Bye week plus PSU win. Was almost a guarantee.
Now all we need is a "Narduzzi can't recruit" thread and maybe a stadium thread and we're golden.

I cannot believe the amount of stupid in this thread.
His seat isn't even close to being warm. He could have 3 or 4 wins this season and next and his seat still won't be hot. He might be forced/asked to change some assistants if he followed up a 3 win season with a 4 win one but he would have at least 3 or even 4 very bad years before he is in danger of being fired.
Dantonio will fire his third base coach and reassign his first base coach to director of football operations. Borrowing from The Book of Nutting.
No worries in East Lansing.

That is great news. That would mean that Narduzzi gets us to the top 10 in the next two years, cause ND ain't taking him from us otherwise.
If narduzzi ever left, I'd hire Gary Anderson from Oregon state. Was a hell of a head coach at Wisconsin and would be good for your players style. Don't judge Oregon state they don't have a recruiting base.

Two points:
(1) *I don't believe that Narduzzi is leaving Pitt anytime soon.
(2) *The real issue isn't that "no one but Narduzzi can win at Pitt". The issue would be: "oh, no - here we go again - yet another coaching change!"
Pitt needs him to stay, especially for the reason of promoting the image of a stable program. Note that other schools have recently tried to use the "Narduzzi will be leaving Pitt" scare tactic against Pitt during recruiting......
Nards is a different cat.
He stuck at MSU for a long time, didn't jump at the first job.
He is a genuine guy and he also is a cultural fit at Pitt, he grew up in the region and has a real affinity for the city and school.
ND, if they came at him and offered a boat load of money, IDK, that would be something he would have to think about.
As long as the admin remains supportive, he is being paid reasonably and the coaches and other aspects of the program are funded, I don't think he goes back to MSU even if they come at him hard.
That said, people are right about D'Antonio. He is a LONG way from being in trouble.

I don't think that the Notre Dame job is as desirable as most people (especially their own followers) think it is. The coach of Notre Dame is one of the highest profiled coaching positions in the world. The pressures are astronomical in their scope. At Notre Dame, any outcome but a national championship is considered failure. The position has become a coaching graveyard for the men who've (recently) tried to coach there and have failed.
Since Lou Holtz retired, they've had Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham, Charlie Weis, and now Brian Kelly (not including George O'Leary, who didn't really coach there, or Kent Baer, who was an interim, one-game coach). At his age, I doubt that Coach Narduzzi would want to be on that list. He'd have a greater chance for success at Pitt (and other schools) than he would at Notre Dame -- and not have to deal with the pressure.
Why, MSU won 11 games or more 5 of the last 6 years, why would they fire him after a bad half season?
This too, if they claim as they do to want to be big time, then PAY big time if others come after Narduzzi. Unless it's all talk.
