Joe Rudolph or give me death. Seriously.

Or Tim Cramsey.

Those are the only two on my short list.

Narduzzi isn’t going anywhere at this point, so I assume you are referring to OC. Rudolph coming here as OC doesn’t make sense. Cramsey makes more sense as a realistic option.

Why in the wide world of sports would Rudolph take a demotion to come to pitt.

he’s OC and Assc HC at a top 15 program. Come on guys,

It wouldn't be a demotion really. He needs to fly off on his own away from mama Chyrst and prove he can run his own offense.

He interviewed for OC when Duzz hired Whipple. I was actually surprised Narduzzi didn't go with him.

If Rudolph indeed wanted the job and Narduzzi hired Whipple, then that is yet another strike against him. I find it hard to believe.

I am almost certain @Chris Peak reported that Narduzzi spoke to Rudolph. I believe Narduzzi tried to keep Rudolph when he was hired at Pitt but he left with Chryst and then revisited it before he hired Whipple.

I know Narduzzi offered him the job when he first got the hired, but if he didn’t want it then they there is no way he’d want it now.

I think the reason he does is because he wants to prove he can run his own show so he can be a HC. I think that has hurt him on that front when he's interviewed. I think a lot of places see him as a product of Chryst.

And like I said I believe there was a degree of mutual interest of both Narduzzi and Rudolph. I'm not sure why it didn't happen, but I'm pretty sure they spoke about it after the 2018 season.

Rudolph isn’t leaving Whisky for the same gig at Pitt and he never, ever planned on staying. Dude was out telling recruits to hold off on committing because they knew they were heading back to Wisconsin.
