Our New OC
- Thread starter runshadyrun
- Start date
Who are the candidates remaining in the NFL? Doesn't seem like there are a ton. AVP and maybe Getsy?
Hopefully Narduzzi is trying for somebody better than Montgomery.
From reading the quote from Pickett, the new OC should be here soon, that to me would mean they know who it is already and just waiting for him to complete his work.
I would like somebody with a better resume than Montgomery, but whomever it is will get my support....unless it's some pass happy OC.

Who do u expect them to get? Todd Haley? Montgomery would be a solid choice.
He was one of the first people PN talked to about the job. If it's announced him- he not a fallback option.

Supply and demand. He has zero demand. His resume is weak and no p5 school has wanted him for decades now.
I doubt it's Jonhns either. Urban hired Indiania's player caller. If it was Johns he would have been named already. He was fired and currently unemployed, no reason to sit on it and not name your guy.
First time, we all threw out names....nobody had Chaney.
Second time, we all threw out names...nobody had Canada...until he was fired
This time...it's possible for the same to happen...we're all throwing out names and nobody gets it

How in the hell do you know who Narduzzi has talked to? Nobody has any info, nobody even knows who he's talked to.

To be honest, I cannot remember how long after Canada was fired that we hired him. But other things could have been in play.
If Beck didn't get a job better than here, I think he would have been the hire this time.

Big time schools don't have to haggle or even discuss for awhile they offer a coach and say here's what we're offering you if you don't like it will offer it to someone else and that's how they get it done quick,Pitt isn't in that category they have to throw in incentives and barter which takes awhile,they may already have their guy and are just working on a contract
Yes, this is common knowledge. It's been almost a month, I'm sure the head coach is working on it....
You really believe that? He started before the bowl game. Good coaches don't sit on their ass and do nothing until after the bowl game. Good coaches are proactive, especially how competitive things are. Once coaches know who they want, they try to get them right away.
I'm already on record, the guy should be in place before next wed. You have mentioned at least two times that we may not get an OC until after LOI, why is that?
Yep, but why Mid January? Cheney or Canada brought no recruits with them or where coaching with their respective teams at that point.
9 if I'm not mistaken Chaney was still employed at Arky when we hired him. Not long after getting hired at Pitt, he brought Nate in.
Coaches talk to other coaches. Other than this candidate I have no idea who else he's talking to at this point but Shane was contacted very early in the process.
I am more concerned with the defensive side of the ball. That is on Coach Narduzzi as he is supposed to be one of the best. Get a solid staff and get this side of the ball cleaned up. Seems like he isn't getting the players he wants to fit his system. Guess what, he must adapt his system to the players that he has.
We offered a million to Canada , can't we use that offer, or was it all pirates, I mean Pitt smoke and mirrors. WVU just gave their cord 900 000 a year, you can get a very good coach for that!
Some of these people believe anything Pitt tells them , they would also be called pirate fans
What makes our views of these candidates so inaccurate is that we judge them mostly on the execution of the players.
I watched some of Youngstown state's offense. The sets are interesting to me. I took note of the fact that wmu's rush offense is rated higher than the pads offense.
Just my two cents.

If we can offer 1mill to an OC which would make one of the highest paid assistants why do we have to resort to someone who hasn't coached in FBS for 25 years and no one else is even interested in him makes anyone they he would be successful here,and he's not known as a recruiter to top it off
Smoke and mirrors I'm starting to think, hoping not, but looks like how the Pirates do business
Dude he has ONE recruiting class under his belt-they were all true freshmen this season. How can you say he "isn't getting the players he wants to fit his system"? I mean, come on...did you think all those true freshmen would be on the field this year?
They run a good bit of "Canada's" stuff. The offense would be very similar under Montgomery.
Posts like this are so completely clueless. It's just typical of this toxic fan base. Then people wonder why local recruits commit elsewhere.
How so?
Looked like less shifts and more hurry up and check with the sideline for the play. Also looked like more spread.
I'm not against that, but just pointing out it didn't seem similar to Canada's offense.
I just feel there are better candidates out there if you want that YSU offense.
If you want the Canada offense hire Uremovich from NIU. That offense is your Canada style shift, motion, jet, etc.
i agree with steel, their offense looked nothing like canada's. it doesn't matter, i'm pretty confident its not going to be him that is hired anyways.
I don't necessarily care if the offense looks like Canada's offense. I think people on here overhype the offense a bit. I just don't want it to have to be an overhaul.
