Lyke is part of the problem with this football program. There is NO WAY Narduzzi should have ever received an extension and if so, not this long. Narduzzi is such a blowhard, and it's getting old. I can't believe Lyke saw so many positives in Narduzzi to evern offer him this long extension. In fact, if the buyout is correct, why would she even agree to such a ridiculous number? Not impressed........ Here was her comments back in 2017:

"We're thrilled Pat Narduzzi is our head football coach. We are deeply committed to helping him, his staff and his student-athletes achieve at the highest levels in the ACC and nationally. Coach Narduzzi is a tireless worker, dynamic leader and passionate about building outstanding relationships with our student-athletes and everyone connected to our Pitt family. He and his staff are fully dedicated to building a national-caliber program the right way, on and off the field."

This all is just window dressing. What was she thinking? Yes, I know it's about stability, recruiting and graduating these kids. HOWEVER, what does Pitt want for their football program? FULLY DEDCIATED TO BUILDING A NATIONAL-CALIBER PROGRAM???????

This is going to be her toughest decision to date. COVID or not.....Donors will make this change. Lyke better get it right! Do you consider staying internal with Charlie? Don't know but something needs to be done differently.
 
In a perfect world, I would like to get a coach with head coaching experience. More than likely it would have to come from the Group of 5... I believe Heather wants that as well. What I would be looking for is this:

  1. Good recruiter
  2. Has Florida connections
  3. A disciplinarian that pays attention to detail
  4. Offensive minded
  5. Solid game day coach
  6. Can put together a great staff especially on the defensive side of the ball.
