Pat Narduzzi & His Staff Were Just Given Truth Serum. Who & What Would You Ask? Anything Goes.

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

There are a lot of questions that need answered surrounding this program at the moment. In the quest for transparency, the entire football staff (AD Lyke included) have been given truth serum. This is your chance to ask questions to the people that normally do not give straight answers.

What would you ask and what do you think the answers would be? Lets have some fun with this.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

The first question that comes to my mind is: Was Shawn Watson your first choice for OC after Canada left?

If not, then who was, and why didn't he come on board?

 

[Jpripper88]

Also, is Paris Ford eligible to play this season? If he is, why isn't he playing when we obviously need playmakers on both sides of the ball?

I think (hope) the answer is he is not eligible.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

# 2 (I like this thread) Does Pitt cheat regarding recruiting?

If the answer is yes, I have a whole lot of follow up questions.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Do you really know what you are doing??

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

I'd want to ask Heather Lyke if they were really competitive when trying to retain OC Matt Canada or if that Big offer was floated late just to save face while he was already out the door.

Also I'd love to ask coach What he really thinks about his defensive decisions after watching teams carve us up for three years and if his stubbornness will ever change.

Lyke wasn't at Pitt when Canada left.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Lyke wasn't at Pitt when Canada left.

Good point. I have a feeling she would still know the answer. Fine then, I'd ask Duzz that question.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Are you looking to replace anyone on your current staff with someone who is considered a "well regarded recruiter"?

Also, are you considering removing anyone from your staff who hasn't shown the ability to recruit at a high level?

 

[Sarge25]

Are there plans for an on-campus stadium in the next 15-20 years?

 

[BFo8]

How did Ben DiNucci acquire those compromising photos of you?

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Why are you constantly condescending and ignorant toward the media, because positive coverage and expose can only help the program. You should open up practices and make players available to talk.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Pat, who do you consider the poorest recruiter on your staff?

Will he be on your staff next season?

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Pat, does Josh Conklin have any input on the defense, or do you just constantly overrule him?

 

[JohnnyGossamer]

Where will the tarps be placed? Will the throwbacks become the primary look? Did you screw up by blowing Pickett's RS?

 

[3genpanther]

Pat, can you share your true thoughts on the media and the fanbase?

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Heather, Do you feel like you are in over your head here at Pitt? What obstacles are you facing that you did not foresee when you took the position?

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Are future schedules going to be limited to an OOC slate of "easily win-able games", or are you going to continue to "challenge" your team with two or more tough OOC opponents each season?

Asked to Pat and Heather.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Heather, Sweet Caroline has absolutely nothing to do with Pitt. Why do you continue to torture us by playing that song?

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Heather, Do you feel like you are in over your head here at Pitt? What obstacles are you facing that you did not foresee when you took the position?

Man......that is the one question of all of these I would love to hear the real answer.

 

[PittPanthers90]

Q: HCPN, how much did you actually contribute to the defensive at MSU?

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Pat, how quickly would you bolt for MSU if given the opportunity when Mark Dantonio retires?

 

[Jakey_John]

Pat, do you really think DiNucci is better than Pickett right now or are you too stubborn to admit you f’ed up so you won’t make the switch?

 

[pittdan77]

Do you think the fan base is crazy or just really delusional?

 

[BuffetParrothead]

These questions are addressed to both HCPN and AD Lyke:

After his try-out in suburban Pittsburgh why didn't Bookster get a leading role in the show Cops and was forced to return to the Pitt football program?

After his second try-out on Pittsburgh highways why didn't Rory Blair get a starring role in Fast n Furious?

Thank you!

Coach- I am still confident that- if we get the QB position productive- we can make some improvement in the next few years but why do you still maintain that we lost to ' a good football team' this past week . You said they were before the game , after the game on Monday in your presser and again today in the ACC teleconference. They are 2-8 and their only Power 5 win was this past week. This is a team that lost 90% of their talent from last years good team and this year lost some 20 players due to injuries. If they had jv teams this would have been it. Yea I know they played Miami tough but they lost 59-7 to VTech-33-7 to GA.Tech, 33-10 to Notre Dame , lost to powerful Duke and Virginia and gave up 47 to Louisville. The loss was an embarrassment- no other way to spin it.

Was Jamie Dixon pushed out/fired or did he quit?

And what are your thoughts on the plans on www.newpittstadium.com?

 

[MarshallGoldberg]

Heather,
Do you read the message boards?
Thoughts on Souf?
Is Armstrong making a deal with Amazon for a new stadium inside towers C?
Best pizza in Pittsburgh?

Pat,
Do you think you can win the ACC, ever?

Stallings,
The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping.

 

[Rsross21]

Pat..... At what point do you take ownership beyond “we need to coach them up better” for this horrible defensive performance the past few years?

Are you afraid to admit that your approach is outdated and not suited to regularly compete against ACC speed?

Can you please take a public speaking class to learn, you know, how to complete a sentence you know, with out saying you know? Sure it’s better than your predecessor saying “umm, uh, well golly” but good lord you sound like a 8th grader trying to you know, get to 2nd base.

 

[OriginalEther]

The first question that comes to my mind is: Was Shawn Watson your first choice for OC after Canada left?

If not, then who was, and why didn't he come on board?

Yeah, probably the best question, given the past season.

Personally, I'd go with: on a scale from 1 to 10 (with Kirk Cousins being the 10), rate our QB's.

Frankly, I'm afraid that Pickett is looking good in practice the same way that Tino Sunseri and Mark Myers looked good in practice also.

I get a kick out of fans griping about this.

Hasn't the narrative always been that the Pittsburgh sports media sucks and is full of Nitters? If that is true, why should Narduzzi accommodate them?

Yawn. That's not my narrative.

 

[Tony Zimmermans Dennys Adversary]

Duzz, is playing at Heinz Field really a positive for your team and recruiting efforts.

 

[mbe 34]

Best thread in a while.
Great questions

 

[RaleighPittFan]

This question could be for Pat, Heather, anyone on the football staff, or anyone in the Athletic Department because I'd expect the answer would be the same regardless of whomever it was asked.

With his penchant for all things being tarped, does anyone think Sean Miller Fan does NOT have several blue tarps on the roof of his house?
