i will predict this morning
- Thread starter Las Panteras
- Start date
Pat Narduzzi's teams are 1-3 and have given up over 2100 yards and 165 points against the last 4 D1 teams they have played.
I don't think ND is chomping at the bit for that kind of pedigree right now.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kelly is fired within 2 yrs, but I would be surprised if Narduzzi was chosen by ND, even if he wanted it. I can see them going for a very higher profile, more experienced coach, who will appease the fanbase. They are capable of throwing out big money, so they will try for a splash hire. Narduzzi, no matter how good or successful, is not the 'big name' or hot property they would seek at this point, IMO. Also, his style of play may not be appealing. I'm sure Pitt is hoping he is here long-term, but he will get some other opportunities. He has stated he loves it here. We shall see.
The way he takes no responsibility for any of the problems Pitt is having has started to sour me on him. I will try to be optimistic but not only does he spin like Neal Huntington, he makes no changes whatsoever. Plus this "defensive" guru is looking utterly clueless.
Whole lot of misinformation and bullshit in thread ... And it's still young
This defensive genius gave up 453 yards passing. Pitt was already 124th out of 128th in worst passing defense. By my estimation they will probably be now 127th out of 128th, can't get any worse, so you might as well play your younger players or seriously change scheme bc it ain't working. Why would ND want him?
I predict that there will be more idiotic posts on the message board....
Fear? Hardly. But he's no idiot... he is probably feeling this morning he has no future in the ACC... and guess what? He's right.
Not saying I disgrace , but where exactly are you coming from ? Not a knock at you, just seeing if we are on same page, thanks
Those numbers are staggering. The HC himself said there is nothing he can do about it. Basically he's saying he is totally awesome but my players suck.
ND has tons of cash, they would hire a PROVEN coach.

Coach's defense requires two excellent corners with the size and speed to challenge most passes and a strong pass rush to at least hurry the QB.
Guess what -- we don't have those pieces right now. But we have some freshmen who look like good candidates at DB. Losing Hendrix was a big blow to the defense if he is as good as the coaches say...
I still think Coach Duzz is the right guy at Pitt. Also remember that with a new coordinator, it usually takes half a season for things to click -- especially at crunch time.

they will get the secondary guys. Brought in 3 pretty highly rated CB last year. Have whitehead and Ford coming in at Safety. What I worry about is by the time the D is turned around(I suspect they will be better next year but still not great and 2018 will be the first time PN will have the players to run his system) the good OL will be gone and the offense won't be great. Modern college football is about scoring. If your D can make some stops and get some TO you will be fine, PROVIDED YOU CAN SCORE AS WELL.
Agree with you for the most part. But that said, in the meantime, he [Pat] has to modify his normal scheme to conform to the players he has. It simply is not acceptable to just say I don't have the horses when modifying the scheme has not been tried. It is going to be a very long season if the pass defense does not improve, and if our passing on offense does not improve. It simply is a recipe for many losses other than against the worst of teams. Hail to Pitt!
They could make some adjustments and play a more bend don't break style with more nickel D. It probably makes it tougher for them to stop run but at this point its probably the best thing to do. Still this secondary sucks and its not going to be significantly better until the DB's play better(which means new players!)
I'd rather see them keep the ball in front of them and make the other team execute and not make mistakes. Watching the past two games has been painful. I get that we need more talent in the dback ranks, but giving up or being obstinate and not making any changes is simply just stupid! Hail to Pitt!
Yes, Notre Dame will overlook everything Tom Herman has done at Houston in order to hire a coach with a winning percentage of about .575. Good call, bro.
I'd rather see it of for no other reason than they tried something different. Clearly what they're doing currently is a disaster.
I'd also like so see the dbacks play the ball and at least once a series look back. It is astounding that not a single one of them ever looks to make a play on the ball...but rather watches the receiver catch the ball...then attempts to disrupt the catch or tackle them. Really frustrating! Hail to Pitt!
I just don't know what can be done that will actually work. Scheme can be altered, but in the end your cornerbacks have to be able to win man on man once in a while. Right now, these taller wideouts with good speed are absolutely destroying Maddox and Lewis and we only seem to have one safety that has a clue. So in effect if they want to go deep they've almost always got a mismatch.
And right now, those two guys are going to be the two guys rolled out there at corner. There's no one coming to save the day.
Pitt has only one legitimate pass rusher right now, and some very good run stoppers. But pressure isn't getting home in crunch time and if they drop extra guys in to coverage it doesn't matter because the corners can't win jump balls.

Yep. I know it was brought up a little but I think it got lost because the coverage was so bad. But tackling was abysmal as well.
Terry Totten fills your criteria and they are not afraid of hiring successful high school coaches. Thoughts ?

This is year two, and he hasn't installed the team that he envisions yet. People are so quick to jump off at the slightest bit of adversity. If Narduzzi is as tough that he preaches to the players, he isn't going to melt at a disappointing loss, I'm sure he is more of a man than that. It's telling where he needs to really focus on and work harder. Plus we aren't just going into a living room and say sign here because we aren't a blue blood school that recruits itself. I'm convinced you could have Bozo the clown, with a huge red nose, as a head coach, and people will still get stars in their eyes over Notre Dame, OSU, Alabama, all those school needs to do is recycle coaches. Narduzzi needs his plan some time to install it, with players that fit the system.
So, you believe aside from Herman, Narduzzi is the hottest youngish name at HC in college football? Seems odd until Narduzzi wins with more consistency.
I notice the exact same thing...I guess they learned not to look back from Pitts. He
mastered that move LOL.
exactly, we lost last minute games against good teams on the road. Both games we could have won, but our weakness was exposed. What it tells me is that we're not the finished product, which many before the season knew anyway. We're an 8-4 team, which I will not change since we're going to lose at Clemson and one of the Miami/VT games.
Based on prior 3 games I predict Duzzi will be the next head coach at Kent State within the next 2 years
So, Narduzzi didn't actually lose Jeter after all. They have a secret plan to get together in South Bend.
no.....not at all......
Brian Kelly will be the coach at Nore Dame next year, and likely the year after.
Pat Narduzzi will turn Pitt around and demonstrate why he was (quite frankly)....Tom Herman a few years ago.
Nowhere in my post did I say this was going to happen immediately.
But Narduzzi will eventually check all the boxes for Notre Dame....and they will go after him.
