If I’m Heather, this is what I would do...

[pittmeister]

Realistically, I don’t see her being able to fire Narduzzi. Too much money to write off... So short of firing him, I would tell Narduzzi to fire Whipple.

If he doesn’t want to, I would tell him that either he does or turn in his resignation.

Then, I would tell Narduzzi that she is going to hire the next OC. If he doesn’t like it, he can turn in his resignation.

Finally I would make a strong play to hire Joe Moorhead away from Oregon. If what we saw today continues, then I would make Moorhead my next head coach...

Moorhead was a disappointment at Mississippi State. Why would you fire a HC with a disappointing record and hire one with a disappointing record and pay millions to do it?

 

[UptownPrivileges]

We are going to be a disappointment yearly until Nards gets left go.Lets be real we have NO hope with NARDS ,WHIPPLE.

What is your suggestion short of firing Narduzzi? Miss St is a tough place to win.

 

[Pittx9]

Firing Whipple is not even close to being enough, it fixes nothing. He (like almost all coordinators) makes awful play calls. He also insists on running Vincent Davis between the tackles. All bad. But he definitely got way more out of Pickett than the previous OC. And it’s tough to run an offense without a tight end and when your o-line can not even avoid getting mauled in your own backfield every single run play.

The entire team is a disaster right now. The program is a complete laughing stock, the darkest times by far since Majors II. This is a head coaching issue, everything wrong with this team stems back to the head coach. Narduzzi has to go, there is no way around that.

I am good with blowing out the staff and starting over! At this point, year 6, we know what we have and that is an average program capable of winning 5-8 games per year. With the money we have into this staff the logical choice would be to start over and see if in year 3-6 we achieve better than this.

Average is fairly easy to achieve, given our city, which is awesome, so the chance that we overachieve makes sense.

I think everyone agrees with that. However someone has to tote the note. If they do then move forward. If they don’t, Heather needs to take on a bigger role with the program. Do things that will force him to resign. Hire and fire coaches is a start. First to go is Whipple. Then hire an OC that you think can take on the job of being head coach. The transition would be smoother...

There are tons of young coordinators who are ready for a HC gig. Go get someone who has won some big recruiting battles and runs a creative offensive scheme.

Average IS fairly easy to achieve! The risk of replacing PN is minimal. If you make a bad hire, it’s still not difficult to go 6-6 in most seasons. To go 2-2 OC and 4-4 in the ACC Coastal can happen with a mediocre hire, and 5-7 with a bad hire.
Not much worse than what we have now.

I am good with this as well. Like you stated we are an 8 win team in a good year and 6-6 most years you can bring about anyone and win 6 games in a normal year.

College Football: 10 assistants who will become head coaches in 2021

College football programs looking for a new head coach look for the 'hot' coordinator. Here are 10 candidates to be head coaches next season.

here's some names to look at

Majors in 96 was worse.

 

[Black_Man_Panther]

Majors in 96 was worse.

Way worse. The only similarity I see is the inability of Narduzzi to build a roster. Johnny had an excuse... life-long alcoholic, his brain was fried. I don't know who Narduzzi is listening to when recruiting offense since he has blown thru multiple OC's but if its Salem or Powell - they have let him down because you can't run 4 WR sets when you only have 2 that can consistently run crisp routes and catch the ball, especially with no running game (thanks to not having a competent back) and no TE. What a cluster.

This is Foge-esque to me. He loaded the roster with OL/DL/LB/RB totally neglecting QB, WR and DB. Different madness... same result.

 

[Pittx9]

Majors in 96 was worse.

Since then though, nothing.... nothing even close. Harris’ 2-9 season was after inheriting that complete disaster. At least there was the possibility he was gonna build the program up.

Narduzzi on the other hand is moving the program so far backwards at a point where it’s obvious he won’t ever build the program up more.

PN will never be a HC again so why would he ever resign , if I was him I’d force them to fire and pay me .

So you can everyone , is Pitt willing to pay up , I’d vote no , I think they’re happy with their ACC paycheck period . They’d like to win , but not enough !

If he doesn't resign, then Heather makes the decisions. Period. Firing him is what you do. But in the absence of money, you do things to make him resign or until he takes a cheaper buyout...

 

[ThePanthers]

He won't do that.

For that kind of moola there’s nothing she can do to make him voluntarily resign .

Heather doesn’t want to run the Fb program.

Whipple is obviously gone. That's a foregone conclusion. She wont have to tell him that. The question is who can they get.

 

[NTOP]

He won't do that.

Am I right that he doesn't have an agent?

 

[bayardstreet]

Heather made a big mistake by extending Nardo. She should tell him to find the greatest young offensive coordinator from one of the conferences that move up and down the field. Even Saban said it this week ....... the game has changed to offense offense and more offense.

one their thing about Nardo, he never looks like he knows what he is doing. He looks confused more than he looks confident. He has to go because he reached his ceiling a few years back.

and that argument about who would come here. That’s just stupid. Many would come here because it’s the power 5 and there’s money to work with as proven by keeping assistants with raises etc.
