We need a sharp young Group of Five coach who has proven he can win and RECRUIT!
How about the App State coach?
- Thread starter RCS-PSU70
- Start date
By the way, I am a proud graduate of both Pitt and Penn State, but my point is Pitt can't be competitive recruiting two and three stars. Recruiting is everything.
Why would he come here? App St has won 30 games - 2 Conference Championships & 3 Bowl Games the last 3 years
Money!
The city of Pittsburgh!
Exposure !
Chance to do well in a D1/P5 program and have the option to stay or leave to another P1/P5 program!
Lyke should be exploring options at this time!
If Narduzzi goes 5-7 hes gone, if he goes 6-6 with a bowl win he stays!
What is a better fit for the coach at Appalachian State?
APPALACHIAN State......
North Carolina??? Which is almost certain to be open,
Or Pitt?
Thanks for playing.
PITT
If he knows how to coach which would be a new concept at PITT.
A football coach who can actually coach football!
Jason Candle, Toledo's HC. Let's see how he does against Miami this week first, though.
It seems to me that a win this week puts him on some lists.

That is a great choice. I just mentioned Toledo football and innovative coaches in another thread.
We haven’t had a candle/Campbell type coach since Walt.....
If he gets another championship this year i would absolutely hire him.... 38yrs old, he is young but has already won as a Head Coach.
He is an Ohio native but went to school here in western PA. Geneva college.
While we’re comparing coaches from those 2 teams App St shut out Candle’s Toledo offense 34-0 in the bowl game last season.
That guy will get a better job than Pitt. He can wait for a program that has a fanbase and it's own stadium to offer more money and support rather than floundering here.
I agree, your team should hire him since they should have beat you, and your coach is a huge ass
I hate judging teams by bowl games.
It seems like Toledo finally got over the MAC Championship hump, and then just shut it down for the bowl game.
Because Pitt is a P5 team in a P5 conference. Their division does not have a Clemson or Bama in it. Winning a P5 Conference title is way better than winning a G5 conference.
I think you missed the point of the question. The question was what makes more sense for the App State coach, and the answer is not Pitt.
Of any coach in the past 30 years, Narduzzi has the most wins at Pitt over the course of his first three seasons. The reason that everyone on this message board is not making the decisions is because of the hastiness in these reactions. This job is not easy. Plain and simple. It is difficult to recruit at Pitt. Does this mean that Narduzzi gets a pass? No. But the entire program needs to be evaluated because this job is not plug and play. We aren't going to get a new coach and win. Many improvements need to be made to the program as a whole. That starts with funding. Pitt is at the bottom of the conference in annual donations. We are not going to compete at a high level at this stage. It's not just on Narduzzi.
If we are 5-7 again or worse (and it looks like wee are headed that way) we gotta start talking about it.
I really have to question narduzzi after Saturday, that was epic levels of humiliation that should never come close to happening. But this post is spot on.
