You don’t think Narduzzi would say the same thing?
They won...he can run his mouth....thems the breaks when we shit the bed
Again I don’t know why the kids run brick walls for a coach who do often throws them under the bus. It’s college dude and it’s only his second start ever. You tell him before the play. Don’t blame the kid.
He shouldn’t throw his player under the bus … but we all know. He can’t publicly complain about the refs; he’d be fined, and then the refs would triple down on screwing him in subsequent games. This actually happened earlier in his coaching stint as we recall. He bItched over bad calls, and the refs put a target on his back for years thereafter. Heck, this game shows it still may be there.
Bottom line, conferences having their own refs is an awful thing. It’s proven week in and out. In the ACC the bubbas always favor their own

No need for him to slide. Just keep running
and go out of bounds. There would have been
no doubt. Of course it's easy to sit here and
say it. Vay Ar thought he made the first down
and went into his slide. He diddn't hit the
turf with any part of his body until he was past
the sticks.

Technically that might be true, but it is overwhelmingly prevalent in the game today that runners and especially QBs who are running are emphasized to slide down before going out of bounds in these situations. In every situation but this one, biased refs don’t seize on the situation to reverse a clear first down. Too bad.
Clawson's comment was ok. Given what happened
in ACC championship game two years ago, it actually
was "ironic."

If any Wake Forest fan thinks they were a fake slide away from winning that game, they should be slapped around harder than Sam Prozac was all night. What we did to their line was straight sadism, and Crybaby Clawson just handed off the entire 4th quarter because he knew who his daddy was.
What he should have said is that: under my direction my offensive coordinator and i put together a plan that allowed us to keep it close enough for us to lose, if a couple breaks went against us. That's exactly what happened and it's on me. He isn't man enough to admit how bad he and the staff were in this one. I'm sorry, but, the players deserve better. Take these kids off the leash and let them play. If they suck, I can live with that.
The QB slide is the worst play in football. QBs should be taught to never slide. Just dive forward onto the ground.
He should have known he could run out of bounds and end the game. It's 2nd grade math.

Just run out of bounds, avoid the contact, and the first down
is a given. Of course it's easy sitting here at a computer to say
it. He went on his instincts.
How are you getting concussed diving forward? You can give yourself up by diving forward. Once you hit the ground you're down.
Because when you dive you’re still a live target! You don’t yourself up on a dive. C’mon people…we’re acting like we‘re on the Steelers board.
You're down in college as soon as you hit the ground.
When have you seen anybody get concussed in college after diving on the ground? I've probably seen more geyvconcussed when sliding.
Ole damn…you can be down and still get hit in the head. And if you seen more guys get hit sliding, just imagine what would happen if they were diving?!
In the spirit of the OP, Clawson pregame likened Pit to a Big10 team. Good or bad?
So why weren't the coaches coaching CV about the play and what to do when he gets to the marker????? They called the QB sneak and knew it might come to that. Do these coaches, including Narduzzi, even know how to coach???? I don't think so.
Narduzzi is not a smart man. What would you expect a dummy like him to say?
The coaches are paid to coach and they didn't on this play. The players are paid to play and they didn't for practically the whole game. Both are equally to blame for this loss to a very, very, very bad WF team. That makes us worse than very, very, very bad.
I really like Dave Clawson. He grew up a Pitt fan in St. Mary's, PA and has done well at an impossible place. He would be on my short list next December.
Nothing is ironic when 2 bad teams play a meaningless game for last place in the ACC.
Bad. What he's really saying we play slow unimaginative football and he's right.
The main take from all this has to be that conferences can no longer be permitted to provide their own officials. Just too much corruption. A common independent officiating org needs to be established, possibly funded (but not operated) by the NCAA, possibly even THAT is too prone for fixing … but definitely can NOT be officials that individual conferences provide and operate themselves.
That said, Pitt’s own poor coaching and blasé acceptance of sh1t at the highest reaches of the university are the main blame for the program’s disintegration. It goes back to doofus being allowed to run out the OC that won him his only championship, and the hiring of Shawn Watson Part Duh

If compared to Michigan it is good, if compared to Michigan State, then it is bad.
