That’s nice and all but Jurassic Cignetti is OC so the offense will still suck but at least now everyone can watch who the problem is.
Doubtful. The AD isn't walking into Narduzzi's office and telling him who to play at QB.Kudos to Heather
We’ll agree to disagree thereDoubtful. The AD isn't walking into Narduzzi's office and telling him who to play at QB.
Give credit where credit is due, even if it's several games too late.

He looked like garbage against UNC, but hey at least he throws a spiral🤣Yes, we will still suck as Villeaux is even worse than Jurkovec but I'd rather lose with a RS Sophomore than a 28 year old senior. At least, I can watch Villeaux and think that maybe he can be something even though he sucks. With Jurkovec there was no hope.
Cignetti obviously has to be fired but this isnt all on him. Jurkovec isnt as bad as he showed. I honestly think he has the Steve Blass, Chuck Knoblauch, Rick Ankiel, Steve Sax yips. I've been saying it all season. If you ever needed more proof, watch his throw to the feet on that one play. That's not normal. There's something wrong with him.
IDK, I think this can work. Prepping a week as the first team QB is different than coming in relief. Veilleux skill set is better than Jurkovec in literally every area.This will make the Louisville game more fun for about a drive or two. Then the reality of what's behind him will start to settle in for fans.
Here's to hoping they can work Yarnell in, also.

Let's hope next year PN brings Shanahan home to get this back on track. H2P!!!!
Nobody thinks CV is great or even good but you have to try someone else at some point. Who else but the 2nd string? And if he stinks, go back to precious Jurk, or better yet try the third guy. If HE stinks… then we have no hope. But by going with Jurkovec continuously, we already had no hope.
Either way this doesn’t seem at all like Narduzzi’s suddenly reaching sanity given how sick he was in this even up to two days ago, so it has to be Lyke imploring it. For one, was Pitt obligated to announce it? Especially this early before a bye? Sounds like a ploy to get people to reconsider buying some extra tickets or even not attending the game at all…which is good business.
This has definitely regenerated a little bit of my interest in the program. Not expecting jack sh*t though. Just excited to see what CV is made of finally!
Agreed. Whether is was mandated from above or not, it shows the customers that there is a pulse in the team for this year and they haven’t just bent over to take it hard in a delicate place for the rest of the season…which is definitely how it looked to just an hour agoThis is the way! Season is a loss, but you have to see what you might have for next year and who wants to be here. It is interesting that Duzz is likely the 3rd highest paid coach in the ACC. I think Cristobal may be higher. He is also one of only 2 to actually win the ACC with half the talent. I'll give him one more year. He would be here regardless next year, but this is a mid-season olive branch for better or worse.
While I like the benching, demotion to 3rd string seems like there are other issues going on with PJ.
Great, 2 straight years of starting QBs with YIPS?Y

Oh you mean Phil wasn't the future? What a joke. Narduzzi thought he could bring in any QB from the transfer portal and they would be good when he already had 2 decent Qbs on the roster.
Season wasted.
Cignetti has to go because no recruit will come to Pitt. Everyone knows this .
I think we'll see both guys. I'd do it by possession until the better player emerges. Hopefully they split 1st team reps all week. The game should be an audition for who starts going forward.This will make the Louisville game more fun for about a drive or two. Then the reality of what's behind him will start to settle in for fans.

There is literally no evidence, data or facts in existence to base that statement on.I’m obviously in the minority but I think Veilleux is an above average P5 starter.
I agree with the Yips. Anyone who golfs knows what theyGreat, 2 straight years of starting QBs with YIPS?

He has barely seen the field, let alone started.
I can’t imagine that. Much like how Jurkovec was promised the job this season with no competition, they got CV to come get as well with the promise of starting AFTER Phil was gone. That just happened to come a little sooner than expected but I can’t imagine Narduzzi agreeing with Lyke to both bench Jurkovec but also open up the job to both backups.I think we'll see both guys. I'd do it by possession until the better player emerges. Hopefully they split 1st team reps all week. The game should be an audition for who starts going forward.
that said, it would be wise to keep your expectations low.
Whats wrong with him is he is reliving the beating he took behind an awful BC offensive line.That's not normal. There's something wrong with hihim.
This wasn’t a mere plane crash, this was September 11th. Narduzzi was still piloting the Jurkovec plane toward the WTC as early as two days ago. Intervention had to have come IMO. They had to have been probably vomiting at the prospect of a crowd of 15,000 on homecoming during a near-prime time broadcast. If so, good. It was good business to intervene. In fact it was actually far overdue. If Narduzzi pouts and threatens to leave as a result, F him. Let him go, with the band joyously playing. But if he saw the light on his own (highly doubtful), it’s better he did so, but shame on him. This needed to have been done in the Cincinnati game, not with the season dead and over.Have to admit that I'm a bit surprised by this announcement. I thought that PN would ride the Jurkovec plane all the way to the ground. I guess he gets some credit for figuring out what 99% of the fan base knew weeks ago. So the good news is that we no longer have to watch Phil throw 8 yard screen passes into the ground. The bad news is we have no idea whether the other 2 guys can play. We saw a little bit of Yarnell last last during the WMU game and he looked OK (given the very limited offense we ran and the quality of the competition).
At the very minimum we should learn a bit more about what to expect next year from the QB.
