Narduzzi jab at officiating

He beat him head to head.

Yes he did. That is fact.
I also believe any rational fan would agree that Franklin's team is now playing better football than Narduzzi's team. Franklin's team has shown more improvement. And, for as much as he was deservedly ripped on in the past, Franklin and his staff have done a superior job to Narduzzi in making adjustments to help his team win games.
In the "what have you done for me lately" world of college football, Narduzzi has done very little.
 
I wouldn't agree. But Penn State is certainly playing well, albeit against soup cans. OSU has looked pretty average (for OSU) the past 3 weeks. Pitt's schedule is brutal and I don't think PSU would be fairing much different. They are both two pretty even top 25-30ish type teams, imo.
 
Seriously, you need to improve. He wasn't fired at all. He was offered more money and an extension to stay. You can continue on, but your made up crap doesn't make it true. Really weak.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - In a massive shakeup, Penn State football coach Joe Paternoand school president Graham Spanier were fired Wednesday night by the board of trustees amid the growing furor over how the school handled child sex abuse allegations against an assistant coach.Nov 10, 2011
 
I was embarrassed for Pitt after Thursday night. I still like Narduzzi, just think he was probably a better DC than head coach. Kinda a meathead with limited control over his emotions.

How a Penn State fan can cast "embarrassment" at another football program is beyond me.

Humility, does it exist in any of you?
 
Va. tech's d-backs held Pitt receivers far, far more than vice versa. I don't know what half of you were even watching. There were at least a handful of Pitt receivers that had jerseys hanging off their shoulder pads and nothing called. For Pitt to have actually held receivers on as many plays as some are saying, they would've actually had to have been that close to receivers. Unfortunately, they were mostly already burnt toast by the time the ball was in the air.
To be this blind and this biased is amazing to me.

How is our schedule brutal? VT? Miami, who has lost 4 straight, including last night to 2-5 ND? Clemson is the only good team and they have been very inconsistent. PSU is by far and away our best win and we had to hang on for dear life to get that. We haven't played a brutal schedule, we just aren't very well coached right now and are losing games we could win if we made any adjustments.

I consider playing half of your games against ranked teams brutal.
 
With due respect to all the PSU haters on this board, Narduzzi's performance has not convinced me that he is any better than Franklin.
With all due respect Narduzzi is much better now and will be much much much better then Franklin, down the road when hcpn gets all his own people in, he is not playing with his own recruits yet, maybe one,

OSU basically beat up PSU but had a couple critical special teams gaffes to lose. PSU has had the luxury of an easy schedule, save Pitt, Michigan and OSU.

They outgained PSU 400 to 270 I think. By rights, OSU should have sealed that game up after the safety. But it was one of those nights when things finally bounced right for PSU so I have to give them credit for pulling out the victory.

And yeah, the Big 10 is an absolute joke this year. Three of the bottom four in the P5. Plus a historic bad MSU, and very mediocre Iowa, Minnesota & Maryland. It is the kind of schedule that Franklin thrives on.

It's amazing you have no idea what you're talking about and clearly didn't watch the game. 2 coaches in the same conference complaining about the officials last week.... yet they make it out to be it's the coaches that are the problem. No, the officiating sometimes is just so incompetent. They are clearly a problem that they have no interest in fixing.

HCPN was embarrassing. The officiating was terrible. Pitt got far more breaks than VT and we held on EVERY. SINGLE. PLAY. And that has been the case all year, except when our CBs aren't close enough to grab the jersey, which also happens quite often.
 
he was terrible on the sidelines. he's blaming the refs, he's blaming his corners and he's blaming his DL. How about himself and other coaches?

You are so far out in left field my friend.
