Narduzzi style

[oldpantherfan]

Before I post my message let me make 2 points.

1. I like narduzzi as a coach.
2. Please do not blame the players for close gamesWIN or lose ( even with penalties), they are doing what their told.

That being said Pit'ss problem is Narduzzi as he doesn't play to win he plays not to lose.
Every win this season Pitt was well in control in the first half but almost lost due to not scoring points in the second half. Narduzzi doesn't try to put points in the board he gets conservation which keeps a once demoralized team in the game.
This is also why we dominated Penn Stated defensively but lost. 1st and goal on the 2 and can't scorce due to conservative play calls that included a botched field goal.
Until he changes that view and style he will never be considered a great coach, make Pitt a consistent and perennial top 25 program, and win championships.

you crazy. Ffrench fumbled that punt. Players dropped balls. Stupid penalties. Awful officiating. An apparently still not 100% Kenny. Second half scoring is a concern, but I don't see this being 100% on Narduzzi.

His adaptability is what he is lacking. You can't live and die by the same philosophy in EVERY situation. He's a good coach in many aspects. But he needs to lean to read the game better.

I disagree that the problem is they went super conservative on offense the problem is that they fail to adjust their defense to fit the situation that 4th and 25 call with bump and run was one of the worst calls I have ever seen. And that includes my kids pee wee football. When the backup Syracuse qb came in it was obvious to anyone but the Pitt coaches that they couldn't sustain a drive with a normal passing game all they had was qb runs and long bombs. Mathis was absolutely horrible in this game but you don't put your dbs in that situation with that offense in this situation.

Who is that O lineman #77. My goodness, talk about a turnstile. I've never seen o lineman turn their back on the D lineman. I noticed him do it twice, and I don't usually notice things like that. They did run successfully on his side because all he did was place his body on the D and lay against them.. But happy, a win is a win is a win.

Narduzzi told him to block that way, remember.

You know what. Im done posting.
You people are a joke. Players commit penalties etc but they ran the ball everytp series on first down in the second hslf.
How can it be the defenses fault when your up by 21 and one play makes it clpse ? And you dontscore a touchdown .
And this is almost every game.
Check out Ohio state they led 28-3 at re half and won 52 -3 never took their foot of the pedal.
You don't think they were conservative.
I love Pitt and like narduzzi but it would be nice to win some games by a landslide,
You are the same people that complain that Delaware, youngd town state, etc shouldn't be close.
It's not the players. It's the coach. Im sorry but if a team just threw a 95 yard touchdown on you you don't come out and try to run out the click which Pitt did.
When you he punched in the mouth you punch back. Did tgey do tgst ?
No but that's on the players right ? No the horrible play calling?
Every second half of every games is bad. It's the same low or no ppnts.
Please tell me how that is on the players ? It's not talent if you think it is then your crazier than you think I am.
You guys are jokes. I'm done. Lol
