Hello all. I’m new here, if you’ll have me. Pitt class of ‘02, big fan of the football team. I posted on ESPN back in the day under the same screen name, if anyone posted there. Great win today!
A few opinions since nobody knows me:
Pat Narduzzi; seems like a great guy who loves his players and the school, and his players seem to love him too. Great enthusiasm. I don’t think he’s recruited very well and didn’t care for how he was running his mouth before the PSU game. And for a defensive guy, his defenses have been consistently terrible. I don’t think he should be on the hot seat even if we miss another bowl, there’s been so much instability at the HC position and I don’t think Pitt is a destination job for someone better.
Pickett; he’s just not good. Made some clutch plays today but has been off all year. Bad poise, bad throws, shaky confidence. Even in today’s game he didn’t have a single completion in the second half until that last drive. The coaching staff doesn’t seem to have much confidence in him either. This is an opinion that I’m really hoping to be proved wrong.
Overall; I think Pitt is a mid tier ACC program and is playing and recruiting as such. They have the potential to be better with a great local talent pool and playing in the weak ACC coastal. Is Narduzzi the one to get us there? I’m still not sure.
