Reading this stuff on here is comical. Pitt needs to do whatever it can to keep Canada. Regardless of who is after him. If not? The perception of Pitt takes another hit as a stepping stone job. Which will be devastating to our future recruiting.
Pitt is a stepping stone job. So are most of the other jobs in the country. And all coordinator jobs are stepping stones. Kind of by definition.
Absolutely true.
As much a Pitt fan as I am, I would certainly listen if a program like LSU offered me a better deal to become a paid poster on their message board.
I disagree with respect, it is not about the Money for Narduzzi & include Canada based on all I have read. They truly enjoy coaching together, in my view and others can disagree.
Pitt has ACC Stability Money to compete now and Pitt Fans can stop thinking in Stepping Stones, just as I see it with Narduzzi. I don't think Canada abandons Narduzzi after just one year, only a Head Coaching job, may do it, and only if Canada wants it!
I have been a Pitt Fan since 1963, Former Golden Panthers from 1973, and have seen many Coaches come, grow, go and fewer coaches now stay anywhere for longer than 10 years!
I can be wrong and so be it, but will be surprised if Canada leaves for any OC position this year, and if he does, Narduzzi will find one just as good as Chaney was, Canada is, and some other OC wants to be!
Take It To The Bank & Let Panic Prevail On BWI They Hate & Fear Everything!
Also, I thought I read that Alabama has a couple of former coaches on their payroll, that would be ready to take the OC job when it's vacated by Kiffin. I forget their names, though, but I think one is Steve Sarkisian(no idea how to spell his name, lol.)
Here's all you need to know:
If LSU (or Bama if Kiffin leaves) offers Matt Canada, Matt Canada will be their OC. Anyone who thinks otherwise is guilty of being as close-minded as PSU cultists.

You of all trolls should know all about being a PEDSU cultist since you are one and one who is in love with Bradley and demanded he come to Pitt and disgrace us like he did your pathetic school. Go troll the morganhole losers. They probably would you beleive you actually have some knowledge. Say hi to bradley and Sandusky
Our Sunday " fishwrapper/newspaper " mentioned FAU is Pursuing Kiffin????
Why would Kiffin end up at FAU he has a better job now.
But pursing is one of those words. Before I was married I pursued the runner-up in the Miss NJ contest. Update- didn't land that one!
I don't disagree and I am not saying that Canada is on his way out, but by definition a coordinator position is a stepping stone. All (or to be technically correct I suppose, nearly all) coordinators want to be head coaches. As such they make decisions with that goal in mind. If Canada gets offered the LSU job and he thinks that's the best way to become a head coach they he's probably going to take the job. I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does I will understand his decision.
If (big if) LSU wants Canada and will pay 1.3 or whatever he likely leaves. He might want to do the Narduzzi route stay build something and pick the right HC job when it comes. He has a chance to be more successful on the field in the ACC than the sec. Some lime the comfort of a known and he knows Narduzzi. Pitt will have to up him a good bit though too.
Agree, missed that aspect! Big "IF" I just don't think he will leave PN right now, doesn't make me right either!
i still don't think MC ends up at LSU. He will get a raise out of this though. keep this in mind, he and his offense had a very good year, but not every year is going to be like this year.
Hope he stays but we will hire a good OC if he leaves. Relax.
Sark is thought to be the favorite, but if it is in house, they may promote Napier.
The latest reports out of Baton Rouge confirm that Canada is a very serious contender for the LSU job if Kiffin doesn't take it. More than likely the top candidate after Kiffin. Kiffin has been trying to get every open HC job out there and has been squirrelly with both Bama and LSU. Let's just hope Kiffin takes the LSU job, if that happens it's unlikely that Bana would be coming after Canada.
God knows LSU needs some innovation to their offense. All that talent year after year, yet a constant struggle to put points on the board against all but the most pedestrian defenses.
He has to also consider if they fired miles, orgeron may not last long there. He's pretty much got it made here, as long as we pay him reasonably. Program-wise almost anyone would bolt in a second but a few years of this offense anywhere and he'll be a head coach.
Yeah, but it depends on where LSU is willing to go. If we pretty much top out at $800k and he can get $1.3M from LSU, then he can make an extra $1.5M over the next 3 years by going to LSU and it is really unlikely Orgeron would be fired before he started his 3rd year. That is a lot of coin to give up. However, I think there are two key things at play here: 1. Does Canada really want to be a P5 HC? Some people like being a coordinator and now you can make more dough doing that than being a moderately successful G5 HC. 2. How much will Canada's light recruiting dampen his prospects to be OC at a place like LSU or Alabama or to be a P5 HC? At those places, recruiting matters even more.
At those places, you don't need the OC to be a lead recruiter. They want Canada for his Xs and Os, not as a salesman.
That's not how it works at those places. It certainly doesn't work that way under Saban. You have to be an ace recruiter, no matter whether you are the offensive coordinator or video coordinator. Everyone needs to be all cylinders to chase the type of class they go after.
Well, Kiffin to FAU is official, so now we wait and see who LSU makes their first OC choice. Hopefully Pitt keeps Canada.
I'm actually fairly surprised kiffin took the fau job instead of remaining a big time o-coordinator in hopes of a bigger job again one day.
Boca and a little dimmer crop of sorostitutes, plus control, I guess. I just didn't see a much bigger job taking a chance on the guy anyway. He can go to FAU and be a God if he wins 9 games a year there.
True. Must've desperately wanted to be the head guy because he took almost half mill a year paycut.
-More than that. Its reported LSU was prepared to offer potentially $2 Million per year for him. Destroys the theory that money trumps everything on this board because he didnt give a rats ass about the money in this case.
If he would've taken that job, yeah he probably would've. But even just leaving bama, he was making 1.4 mil/year. At fau he will be making 1 mil/year.
But yeah as big as money is, I kinda agree with you. Not every single coach only cares about money. The fraud graham has seemed to scar everyone for life.
It's a little different for assistants on the way up. Lane already has millions.
