Weird but Pitt hires Graham for High-Octane but Coach Narduzzi hires OC Canada to produce it? While Narduzzi works on developing a Defense System for Pitt? I can wait, because i see progress on Game Plans, Half-Time Adjustments, and Player's working hard together, unlike under Graham. In my opinion, the difference is Coach Pat Narduzzi stays in the Dorms in early Preseason Summer Camp to get his know his Players, protects them, and accepts them to make them better. While Graham abandon him to make his own life and family in the early morning with a Tweet Email?
Big Difference as far as I am concern. The same with comparing Chryst to Narduzzi too. Chryst returns to where he wanted to coach all his life after Pitt gave him the opportunity to become a Head Coach. While Coach Pat Narduzzi wanted to come to Pitt for his designation to become Head Coach at Pitt all his life? Weird again, Pitt offense under OC Canada is better than Wisconsin's under Chryst. At the same time, Chryst's Defense under his DC is better than Pitt? Go and figure? Both have good Special Teams Units too, and winning and losing by a little at the same time?
Again, big difference as far as I am concern. Pitt is still struggling to get into the Top 25, but i prefer watching Narduzzi stay and earn it together, than watch others come and go, as Toad Graham's ASU High-Octane is Flaming Out & CoachRod's UA too, in the Hot Arizona Desert?
However, the Coaching Staff under Narduzzi is doing something I have not seen at Pitt since 1980s, the Players are developing too with changed attitudes versus the previous 20 years? Narduzzi makes no excuses either just keeps plugging away.....just me and others can differ.

Excerpt:
Offensive tackle Brian O'Neill has scored two touchdowns on running plays, but that's not what sets the Pitt offense apart from mediocrity. For most of the season, wide receiver Quadree Henderson was just as valuable in the ground game as former All-American tailback James Conner. That's nice and certainly unusual, but not quite offensive coordinator Matt Canada's greatest achievement. Tight end Scott Orndoff averages nearly two first downs every time he makes a catch. All of that is impressive and what might ultimately save the season from spiraling out of control, but Canada has done something even more incredible. Somehow, he has found a way to outscore the other team. In a season when Pitt's defense gives up far too many points to match the head coach's reputation, Canada has come to the rescue. Pitt has a long way to go before it can be considered a national championship contender, but the offensive roster has stuck together and reached maturity in Canada's first season.................
................
Pitt (5-3, 2-2) is all but mathematically eliminated from earning its stated goal, but it continues to play entertaining games. Pitt has been ahead or tied in the fourth quarter of every game, and its margin of defeat in three losses is only 11 points. Quarterback Nathan Peterman talked about Canada's offensive creativity as long as ago as the spring. “He mentioned it,” Peterman said. “But I didn't think it would have come to fruition.” Salem calls it “fun football.” “Our kids have a little bit of pizzazz,” he said. “But they make it work...................
