247sports lists Pitt as a potentially landing spot for McCord.
Kyle McCord in the portal…..
- Thread starter thebadby2
- Start date
The question then is……What the hell are they doing at practices, sipping on Pina Colada’s???? 😂
I saw Pitt also reached out to the Holy Cross qb. On the surface nobody cares but interesting in that they classify this qb as a dual threat. Maybe Nardo is rethinking offensive strategy, but then again…maybe not.
College football transfer portal: Best fits for top 10 quarterbacks on market in loaded 2024 class
Here's where some of the best quarterbacks available on the transfer market could land
www.cbssports.com
Kyle McCord, Ohio State
247Sports transfer grade: 91 | Best potential fit: PittsburghThere isn't much buzz out there on McCord. Miami could make sense here given reasons listed above. Pittsburgh also seems like a great match, however. He signed with the Buckeyes in 2021 out of Philadelphia, and his family has deep ties to the northeast, so he could covet a return closer to home. Pittsburgh's coaching staff, for their part, always seems to seek out veteran pocket passers with plenty of starting experience. The Panthers have brought in three transfer quarterbacks since Kenny Pickett left, and two of them had extensive starting experience at a program that ran a heavy pro-style offense. McCord is a natural fit for Pitt's smashmouth scheme -- much more so than he was at Ohio State.
Eh, smashmouth and Pitt in the same sentence. I know. It was used to describe the scheme. Hardly the action on the field.College football transfer portal: Best fits for top 10 quarterbacks on market in loaded 2024 class

Ironically enough Rutgers also thinks they’re the logical choice. Since his Dad was a former QB there.

This reminds me of PFF saying Slovis was a better fit for FCJ’s under center pro-style system than the Air Raid.
There really isn’t any such QB.
Why would any QB be a better fit for what Narduzzi wants to do than what Day wants to do?
They may in fact have a shot. McCord isn’t bad, but he’s not one of the top 5 qb’s in the portal this year. Most of the major programs looking for qb’s have better options available.
We don’t have an OC, and presumably don’t know a scheme we’d run. Getting McCord without an OC would give us a clue, I suppose. It would be more of what we saw last year, and McCord with no Marvin Harrison to lean on.
Rutgers, Maryland, Syracuse, I guess Pitt is a possibility
None of those will even get a glance.
Pitt’s fan base is elite.
