The Big 10 is a fraud….all the teams are severely overrated and are bolstered by journalist alums who equate attendance with team quality. The AcC gets pilloried every year and they’re 3-0 versus these pretenders.
You want to equate Narduzzi’s accomplishments with Kelly’s ..be my guest. The whole world will be laughing at you.
The coaching budget is NOT the problem. The problem is that Pitt simply is not a draw for talent due to fan support, NE city location, little local talent, and, especially non-competitive NIL. No coach willing to come here can meet the expectations of some fans at Pitt.
Yea, lord forbid …..we don’t want fans who demand excellence…..you’re probably a Lyke supporter….good riddance to an AD satisfied with 5 losses per year.
No the hiring budget has been the problem…that’s how you end up with a DC as your head coach who can’t even spell “ offense”. Your story line is both asinine and totally unsupported by any evidence. You’re an excuse maker, a settler for crap.
Nobody cares about Duke beating Northwestern or UNC beating Minnesota.
Of course it is
Everybody has trouble retaining quality coaches. That's not unique at Pitt & I highly doubt its a money issue.
It’s all part of the narrative….only way to destroy the narrative is to beat those frauds. And the Big Pretend has more than a dozen schools who aren’t worth crap. I never said the ACC was a powerhouse but that the overall quality difference between the leagues isn’t as huge as the media argues it is. The Big Pretend is the biggest propaganda machine in college athletics. “We have 80,000 fans in the stands every week so that we must be good.” The AcC has suffered from lousy leadership for certain.
Recruit and retain perhaps, but he has developed a good amount of talent during his tenure. Many former 2 and 3 star recruits playing on Sunday.
Dez is from FL and no FBS school wanted him.
Fans whose expectations exceed the capability are the problem. You fail to recognize that Pitt has limitations that will never get them to your fantasy-land. Trying to do so will lead to complete failure. We've seen it happen before and Pitt's place in the NIL world places them in a worse position than the past.
Complete nonsense. Where does Pitt's coaching staff budget fall in comparison to the B4 teams? I'll bet you have no idea. You just like to spout nonsense because it fits your false perceptions.
Yep. I'm part of the problem, a problem that I identified as a limitation for Pitt that is not going away. In fact, it will just become worse.
Yeah. That's the way NIL works. He left Western Carolina didn't he? Come December, he's going to be entertaining suitors for his services in 2025. He's going to have plenty of them.
They hired Narduzzi for under $2m per year…you don’t have a snow ball’s chance in hades to attract a quality HC with that budget. You are clueless.
As I said, you have no clue where the Pitt salary budget ranks.
Too early, in my view, to conclude whether Bell will be successful, although I like what I have seen to date. My comment wasn’t actually directed at him or his system. More to the point, I haven’t been a fan of any of Narduzzi’s previous OCs or his ability to establish an offensive brand which appeals to skill position players, particularly QBs. In my opinion the quality of
Huh. When people complain about his defensive philosophy, they typically say he's too stubborn to stray from his system and play to his players' strengths. But when his offense does play to its player strengths - such as having a dominant runner like Abanikanda or dominant passing combo like Pickett/Addison, you complain that he fails to have an offensive identity.
They could hire me for $2 million. I’d come to the message boards for ideas and we would be playoff contenders every year.
So rather than lend a helping hand you’d rather watch Pitt drown from lack of support. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution.
No I answered in a way that anyone with a brain would have….you decided to play the role of idiot, a role you have mastered.
Your response is incredibly devoid of logic. The fact that he has had one dimension offenses and been forced to rely on that single dimension to produce a decent offense doesn’t vindicate him from failing to put an offense on the field that is balanced in the first place. You want to have a good offense then you have to be able to run and pas. That’s a response that is probably too nuanced for you to comprehend.
