Pitt friends:
Honestly, is anyone shocked by today’s developments? I am not. It was so predictable.
Going into this season, Pitt had the deepest most talented roster we’ve had since the Gottfried days. We had a talented super senior in Kenny Pickett. The schedule was set up for Pitt to start 5-0. Now I have always been patient and supportive of Pitt coaches. I know that for a program like Pitt, it takes time to build.
It’s now year SEVEN in the Narduzzi era and we’re still losing to MAC teams at home… In my opinion, this is unacceptable.
Now some of my fellow poster that I respect, and follow are willing to spin this. I cannot. I am deeply disappointed. When I see teams like Iowa State and Cincinnati ranked in the top 15, it makes me sick knowing that Pitt could be one of those teams.
I could create a list of teams that are on Pitt’s level that have won 10 or more games multiple times in a season since 1981, but I’ve done that for the past two seasons.
I can promise you that a lot of important people will not be happy with today’s results. They are expecting a 9–10-win season and will not accept anything less. This was a game that was circled as a must win.
The question is, what does Pitt do if they fall short? I want to see how the rest of the season unfolds, but if I were Heather, I’d start quietly looking around for possible replacements from now until the end of the season.
I have no confidence now that the season will end well…
