You guys know he was on the committee...right?
He just wanted someone to say no so that he could say narduzzi didn't like the hire and the admin is incompetent.
Maybe some of these Chicken Littles on here will shut up and give her a chance.Quote from Narduzzi saying it was great being involved first hand on the hiring and that she is a "coach's ad" that works very hard to meet their needs

I think it's pretty clear the administration is incompetent whether Narduzzi attended or not.
It would be pretty remarkable if he wasn't there--that's why I asked as I expected him to attend.
It's also pretty remarkable that she never used his name once during her remarks and entire press conference, considering he's without a doubt the most important athletic department employee at Pitt.
In fact, when she was asked about the importance of football, her response was to say that she wanted "comprehensive excellence" for the entire athletic department.
So you believe that the new AD should have singled out Coach Narduzzi and ignored the other coaches under her?
As for her comment regarding the importance of football, I think she gave a totally appropriate response given her overall responsibilities.

This entire post is bullshit.... didn't mention his name? So? ....comprehensive excellence? So? ...I see no problem with either thing you posted for a new hire AD? ..... none... I do see typical Pitt fan bitching with a side of possible misogyny thrown in....I think it's pretty clear the administration is incompetent whether Narduzzi attended or not.

I said possible right? .....
This board has gotten so bad with negativity and most fail to even realize it.
So what discussion was shut down? The new AD not mentioning Narduzzi by name? LOL.... comprehensive excellence? I'm sorry but I can't find a point there worth debating.... it's absurd complaining...
I'm just waiting for you to make an actual point worth debating.... Ofer so far though....
Your AD rants over the past day have to be somewhere in the PantherLair's Top 25 "Hysterical Tantrum" list. You are taking on all comers, I've got to hand it to you - its entertaining, but jeeeeeeeze.And what's the basis for the claim of misogyny? What did I say in the post about her being a woman or women in general?
Calling someone a bigot is a convenient way to shut down debate and avoids having to deal with the hire on the merits. Don't agree with me or can't defend the hire? Just call me a misogynist or a sexist.
It's a neat little trick, but I'm not fooled. If I attacked her for her sex, then I guess you could make the allegation. But I didn't. You're just name calling.
No that's the subject actually and was the vast majority of my original post... you've decided to harp on one word... ? I'm not running and you haven't substantiated what was wrong with the new ADs remarks... I thought you don't like unsubstantiated platitudes?Nice attempt to change the subject. Just name call and then run away.
