Adios!
Now the entire offense needs to step up and the spotlight will be even brighter on our guy playing Quarterback. Time for KP to get his mojo back.

That only happens if and when he stops worrying about throwing picks. You can’t be decisive and make plays if you’re worrying about making mistakes.

At the very least I hope they stop the ultra conservative bullshit and allow him to play. They need to know if Kenny the answer for the future and you can’t do that if you put training wheels on him

 

[Pitt79]

Dumbass Tomlin is still there, don't be surprised if nothing changes and it's still the same, weak ass, gutless, ''live in your fears" game plan and play calling, what I'd want is to demand to Kenny to let it rip deep and down the middle and risk turnovers to pursue chunk plays, but weakling Tomlin doesn't have the balls.

 

[PittPharm2002]

2016 Pitt Offense was great. Anyone is better than Cignetti.

One season out of a career?
Stop it
The answers are never in the past
He sucked at NCSU, Sucked at LSU (fired quickly ), wasn’t any good at Maryland

He’s a position coach at best

From PG Q&A

Who's on your early Pitt OC candidate list?

Hiles: This is just my personal list, I haven’t heard any of these names connected to any rumors. I think the top choice would be Andrew Janocko, the current quarterbacks coach of the Chicago Bears. He’s a Pitt alum and has obviously been around plenty of high-level offensive schemes. The other notable Pitt connection that I could see being in the mix is Mike Shanahan, the former Panthers receiver and current offensive coordinator at James Madison. Last but not least, someone I found just doing my own, personal OC search is Willy Korn, the offensive coordinator at Liberty. The Flames currently boast the nation’s top rushing attack and the No. 8 scoring offense in the country. Korn has a solid coaching background, having spent the four previous seasons as the offensive coordinator at Coastal Carolina. His age (34) and scheme make him an ideal and realistic candidate, in my opinion.

That’s the real question isn’t it? I guess we’re gonna find out who was the architect of the ultra conservative game plan Sunday

Yeah, he needs to be way better right now, because now his apologists can't defend him by blaming Canada.

I like the last guy but being a Pitt alimn and or having ties to the program should be irrelevant. In JMUs biggest game of the year their offense wasn’t great so the hype around shanny seems to be based on him being a Pitt guy

We will find out if that’s the OC’s fault or Kenny’s. He always played with swag at Pitt and had a gun slinger attitude.

 

[pittmeister]

Apparently it wasn't Tomlin's call

Yup need to see him cut it loose and let the chips fall. Need to find out if he is the guy they can win with can’t do that throwing 5 yard outs

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

I don’t think Narduzzi is going to do much better than Canada, and may do much worse.

His body of work is bad. I’d rather see him take a shot elsewhere.

Actually firing - no
Its always the owner
Tomlin made the request though

 

[Purdue_Panther]

Fired

Jurassic Cignetti and the rest of the Pitt offensive staff now on the clock to be fired

 

[Pitt79]

So if the play calling doesn't improve its Tomlin's fault.

This candidates all are suboptimal. No heavy running coach so Corn is out. No one from the NFL as the offense OCs from the NFL don’t work and translate in either direction.

Shanahan is somewhat interesting but I prefer a more pass heavy OC and someone who wasn’t connected to Pitt.

This is your opinion, right?

 

[Fk_Pitt]

This is wonderful but let’s not gloss over the fact that this needed to happen last year.

And its exhibit A is to how raking up wins vs weak schedules vs back up QBs can retard an organization. Rooney was fooled into thinking Canada should be back based on the back half of last years schedule.

Canada shouldn’t have been hired. And then they double downed by promoting him and triple downed when they retained him.

 

[Dan1911]

He did a nice job at Pitt, though.

[pierre93]

Now draft this guy for qb since the OL is pathetic. Any QB back there would get destroyed. Go Kenny!!! H2P

Recruiting a must. I know. Teams’ coordinators aren’t beating the bushes for the most part - but it wouldn’t hurt. Guess the scheme does the recruiting to a point.

Still laughing. Directly to Space X pad hopefully. None of this scooting across the hall sh!t in his swivel chair dahn on the sousside.

 

[HailtoPitt]

One thing that annoys me is that when the Steelers attempt a screen pass, it often seems to be dead in the water from the very beginning. Then I watch other games and team are much better at it. They at least have it set up for the players to make the plays. This Steelers offense just seems to execute very poorly.

The thing about Cignetti that a lot of people perhaps don't realize is that we actually pass a lot. That's not the reason he sucks. We are 37th in the nation in pass-to-run ratio. The next guy is almost certainly going to run a lot more than Cignetti did this season.

Because they run it 5 times a game and never throw the ball downfield. Defenses sit and wait for the dink and dunk.

 

[SteelCityChamps]

Who the hell is Eddie Faulkner didn’t even know he was on the staff. Lol

How can you forget him. He was Paul Chryst's initial RB coach here at Pitt for like three weeks.

Enough with coaches named after sissy countries like Canada. Find a coach with an aggressive sounding name, like Steve Israel. Or even Iran Barkley.

I hate to say it, but IMO weak ass Tomlin still refuses to throw downfield going forward. Mr. Live in his Fears is GUTLESS, Let's look at the pass chart next Monday and see how many balls go downfield or to the middle, I believe it will be the same as last game.

 

[Pitt2009]

What are your thoughts on Babers as Pitt’s next OC?

We will know a lot more on Sunday. You have to think there will be a change.

 

[bayardstreet]

Tomlin is a fraud. Rooney fired Canada because Tomlin should have fired him on Monday and he didn’t. So Rooney was waiting for Tomlin to make a change and when he didn’t Rooney stepped in. If anybody really thinks that Mike Tomlin is a great coach there are crazy.

Mike Tomlin has screwed up more things with this football team than things that he has done right.

Is this based on factual information?

 

[MorningCoffee13]

Glad he is gone but the dude is getting roasted on X (formerly known as Twitter). The memes are brutal.

 

[Pitt8189]

IMO Tomlin doesn’t have and has never had the type of power Belichick has in New England.

 

[pittdan77]

Looks like you were right on this one. That’s what I’m hearing

He was an OC at Ball State so no exactly a ton of experience but at least the guy has been on a pro staff for a while.

I know, that's why I can't quit twitter, er, X. It is a huge cesspool but can still be funnier than any comedian video on YouTube. Especially when news like this breaks.
