Pitt Coach Narduzzi Shoots Down Rumors, Says He's Not 'Going Anywhere"! LINK!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Three great things from TribLive;
1. Coach Narduzzi is in demand unlike Franklin or Holgrosen and that has to upset some PSU & WVU Fans, even as both their teams are Ranked! Strange no one wants them?

2. Coach Narduzzi denies it right away and like a man just tells it like it is, unlike Franklin holding a Press Conference last year denying his move to Miami when no one asked him? Difference between Men!

3. Watch the Miami Game Preview Interview Video!
Excerpt:
Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi emphatically debunked a social media hoax that claimed he is a candidate to become the next coach at Purdue..............One posting said a representative of Narduzzi met with Purdue officials at Midway Airport in Chicago. “That's funny,” Narduzzi said. “I'm not going anywhere. I don't know who makes up those rumors. “We don't need to talk about that, but I can just tell you it ain't happening. You can take that to the bank.” He added, “From now on, I'm not even going to comment on it.”

Pitt's Coach Pat Narduzzi Interview Video On Miami Game:

 

[thebadby2]

LMAO. Never heard that rumor, but I'll say this-if we ever get stood up by our coach for the likes of a Purdue, it will officially be time for all of us to throw in the towel and find a new favorite team.

 

[DruidTM]

Penn staters started it... no surprise the media followed up because they are....penn staters....

Penn staters started it... no surprise the media followed up because they are....penn staters....

Where's your proof that the person who started the rumor is a Penn Stater. Just because his handle is @PSUMatt2005, that doesn't necessarily mean anything. /s

 

[kma0043]

Do Pitt fans spend as much time on the Penn St. message boards as Penn Staters are spending on this board of late? Just curious, because it's annoying.

[medixman]

Captain not to burst your bubble but just what has Narduzzi did in his almost two years at Pitt that makes him more in demand than Holgy and Franklin?Who has he beaten that makes him such a hot commodity,Louisville last year is his signature win?I think maybe your over estimating his value at the present time.Maybe after a couple more years and a division championship or two they'll be beating his door down but not at the presen time.He has a lot of close wins and loses on his resume is that good coaching or not so good coaching causing this?Do top schools look at a coach's demeanour when considering a new hire,how he handles himself after wins and loses to the media,how he recruits or just X and O's!I think he has a few things that he needs to prove and improve on before the Big Boys come calling!Again the opinion from a non Pitter that's not wearing Blue and Gold glasses!

 

[Pitt79]

As mediocre as Pitt has been the last 30 years, I don't remember Purdue EVER being anything. Why would anyone go there, unless maybe they offer huge money?

There was a movie, I don't remember the name? Cuba Gooding Jr. is being held hostage by some drug dealers, Dennis Leary is the leader of the drug gang, Cuba is wearing a Purdue jacket, and Leary says, "Purdue? What the fcck did they ever win?" LOL

Hahahaha. Ummmmmm he kicked pen states ass


And by the way. THIS is how you squash rumors. Good job coach.

Deplorable job by this reporter to ask such a shit question.

 

[medixman]

Joke he didn't upset Psu he was a 4 point favorite and won by 3!In other words he was supposed to win that game.In Vegas's eyes he had the better team.What has he done that has opened the Elite Programs eyes is all I'm asking.

Purdue isn't an elite program.

 

[h2p_5150]

medixman has a point. Why exactly would schools be beating down the door to lure Narduzzi away from Pitt? and not a joke school like Purdue. He hasn't done anything, yet, that would get him consideration from a big-time program.

 

[medixman]

79,they are on the opposite from elite!

Drew Brees went to Purdue....and Purdue went to the Rose Bowl

Wish Pitt could find a QB as good as Brees

Would you consider Wisconsin an elite program for the past 10 years or so?

 

[Panther Holla]

Purdue is a stepping stone. If you like to step on land mines.

 

[CorsosRevenge]

If we lose a coach to Purdue we may as well just become the first ever football-less ACC program. They're notoriously cheap and Ross-Ade is worse than Pitt Stadium ever was.

 

[Panther Parrothead]

Drew Brees went to Purdue....and Purdue went to the Rose Bowl

Wish Pitt could find a QB as good as Brees

Back in the mid-to-late 60's, Purdue had Mike Phipps at QB and RB Leroy Keyes in the same backfield, and they did some serious damage in the Big Ten. And Bob Griese played QB at Purdue, too, and we know how well he played for the Miami Dolphins Super Bowl teams.

But recently, the Boilermakers haven't done much at all....

 

[Pitt79]

Drew Brees went to Purdue....and Purdue went to the Rose Bowl

Wish Pitt could find a QB as good as Brees

That was one small era of success, look at their history, they never went to a Bowl game until 1966, they've been to 17 bowl games, compared to Pitt's 32, they've never won 10 games in a season EVER. They've finished ranked in the Top 10 3 times, Top 25, 17 times ever, highest #5 in 1943! They've existed as a football program longer than Pitt. It's not even close as to which school is better historically at football.

 

[CorsosRevenge]

The only thing good about Purdue is that it upset Michigan in 1976.

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Do Pitt fans spend as much time on the Penn St. message boards as Penn Staters are spending on this board of late? Just curious, because it's annoying.

I term it the PSU Locust Cultists Effect:
Pitt Fans welcome Penn State, WVU, Michigan, OSU, Iowa, ND, Bama, USC, ULou, UNC, FSU, RU, and all Fans Discussions on CFB. I have always welcomed and advocated the Return of PITT, PENN STATE & WVU Eastern Football to Top 25 Winning now spread to ACC, Big Ten, and Big-12! I would prefer to see PITT, PSU, and WVU in NCS Playoffs Games anytime and would be a dream to play each other in such games and every year as well. Just me, others can disagree.

When PENN STATE is winning or ranked, it is like the PSU Underground Cultists Locust that hang around a grave near University Park. The PSU Cultist come out under the ground ever 5 or 6 Years and over run PSU Trustees and then come towards Pitt, OSU, and Michigan.

The only treatment is Pitt Wins or Penn State gets blown away by Michigan, MSU or Ohio State or Another Team and it is like a "Bug Spray Exorcism".....all of a sudden the PSU Locust Cultists go back underground, but the Great PSU Fair Balance Rationale Fans that discuss Football stay on and Posts are welcomed.

What Pitt has now is Coach Pat Narduzzi like the "Angel Ariel" that Guards against the Hidden Penn State Demons Cultists Posters from Hell now dealing with Athletic Integrity Reforms and the ACC Pitt Wins protect the Lair like The Sentinel Movie of 1977!

Strange as it is one can see these PSU Cultists is in this Movie Clip below briefly they have Whiteout Eyes and March like Lemmings under many different names and keep coming from the Grave they kneel and adore and say Nevermore, Nevermore like a 409 Clery Act Clean Up!

i dont think the poster is arguing....but he correctly points out they had a nice run with Brees....and other posters correctly mentioned earlier years with Griese.

I would throw in Len Dawson.....

 

[Panther Holla]

Scott Dierking. Cue Roger Huston: "Michigan 14..... Purdue......SIXteeeeeen."

 

[VT00]

Do Pitt fans spend as much time on Penn State message boards? No. They do not.

Do Penn State fans spend as much time talking about Pitt on Penn State message boards? Absolutely not.

If you are annoyed by PSU fans spending time on this message board, it would probably be best to stick to Pitt football discussion. If it is Penn State football you want to discuss, PSU fans will flock here to join in on discussion relevant to their program.

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Scott Dierking. Cue Roger Huston: "Michigan 14..... Purdue......SIXteeeeeen."

Remember it well, as we quit watching Army and just started yelling Pitt is #1! What A Day, and Pitt Finally was #1 after starting at #10, but never looked backed, until Cover of SI said.....PITT IS IT!

 

[Slick Manager of Champs]

79,they are on the opposite from elite!

They would be towards the bottom in the MAC. Big 10 has some real lightweights this year; Purdue, Illinois & Rutgers are topped only by Kansas for futility. Maryland, Minnesota, Northwestern, Indiana & MSU would be bottom feeders in the Coastal. Iowa, Nebraska & Penn State are good, not great. Wisky & Ohio State are very good and Michigan this year is elite.

Agree on Purdue Illinois and Rutgers.

I do not agree that Minnesota, Northwestern, Maryland, Indiana and Michigan State would be bottom feeders. If your discussing this season, Maryland and MSU I could see making most sense, but to say they'd be bottom feeders in the Coastal over Cuse BC and Duke, that's a bit far fetched to say with certainty

Kyle Orton, too. Not as much success in the pros as the other guys but he was very good at Purdue and still had way more NFL success than any QB we've had here in quite some time.

LMAO. Never heard that rumor, but I'll say this-if we ever get stood up by our coach for the likes of a Purdue, it will officially be time for all of us to throw in the towel and find a new favorite team.

I think Holgy is a bum, but if you are looking for a coach, he would , at this time, be in more demand than Duzz, just being real

Pitt's Coach Pat Narduzzi Interview Video On Miami Game:

So is he in demand or isn't he? Did he meet with Purdue or didn't he? Being recruited by Purdue is not something to brag about. And what are you talking about with Franklin and Miami?

 

[President Stache]

So is he in demand or isn't he? Did he meet with Purdue or didn't he? Being recruited by Purdue is not something to brag about. And what are you talking about with Franklin and Miami?

Are you slow? seriously.... Narduzzi flat out said the rumors are completely false and he is going nowhere. He said it in no filtered tones at all.

Franklin to Miami?? MMM... would be a very good obvious fit. I bet he could find more coaches with hot wives there, and he could mack daddy it down there.

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

"CampbellLION, post: 1649279, member: 6354"]So is he in demand or isn't he?
Absolutely, no clue, asked the reporter that asked him?

Did he meet with Purdue or didn't he?
You tell the Lair? I have no clue!

Being recruited by Purdue is not something to brag about.
Yeah, they said that about Paterno when Rip retired too? Nobody thought much of Penn State back then either. I can Link Articles showing Joe going from city to city giving Booze to Reporters to cover his Program! It worked too, but his Winning did more than anything as well.

Yet, Narduzzi was recruited by other Programs before he came to Pitt, so one never knows? Just like Franklin was promised the UMD Job but would not wait for it so he went to Vandy!

And what are you talking about with Franklin and Miami?
Go do your own Homework and Google it, it made Headlines last year and read all about it! Franklin held a Press Conference on his own to talk about it. Onward State has it too? What you guys do over BWI never checking the Facts just always attacking things and other schools that upset you?

FYI, Unlike Franklin's PC, Narduzzi that was just asked about it at a Pre-Miami Game Interview, but did not hold a Press Conference to talk about it like Franklin did, one of the first question asked of Franklin was why are holding this PC no one asked you?

Additionally, if the Penn State Nittany Lions are Ranked in the Top 25 Polls, and 12th in the NCS Playoff Ratings, many Programs are up for Head Coaching Jobs like LSU, maybe UCLA, maybe Texas and if Penn State does not give Franklin an Extension do you think he takes one if offered? If Franklin goes 11-2 and makes NCS Playoffs won't he be in demand?

BTW, any thoughts and predictions on IOWA-PSU, and PITT-MIAMI too, would appreciate your insights.

You claim Narduzzi is in demand, I assume you make this statement based on the rumors of him being considered for one of the worst power 5 jobs in the country, then bag about the way he denied the rumors....so he's not in demand? You can't have it both ways.

So 2 weeks ago the talk was Franklin on the hot seat, now he's gonna make a lateral move to another school? You can't have it both ways. Franklin's not going anywhere anytime soon.

And the Miami rumors were so ridiculous I forgot about them. But you say he called a special press conference to deny the rumors? A 30 second google search found he was asked during his weekly press conference, similar to Narduzzi....what would you like Franklin to do different?

On Tuesday afternoon during his weekly presser, Franklin addressed those “rumblings” himself.

“First of all, let me say this. I don't like it,” he said. “I think it causes a distraction for our team, I think it's a distraction for Penn State, and I have no idea where it comes from, whatsoever. My family has sacrificed, I've worked my ass off to get to Penn State, to get here, and this is where I want to be. We’ve got a lot of work to do on the field, we’ve got a lot of work to do off the field, in every aspect, but this is where I want to be. Stuff like that, I guess some people can look at it as a compliment, I don't. My focus is 100 percent on Penn State. Like I said, I worked like crazy to get here. Not going to address it anymore, not going to talk about it anymore, this is where I want to be. This is where my family wants to be. This is where my staff wants to be. We got a lot of work to do. That’s really kind of the end of the discussion.”

Your comment about fact checking is a bit ironic.

My picks are PSU over Iowa 26-20. Iowa just doesn't have it together right now and aren't doing enough offensively. Barkley and McSorley are running the read option really well the last 4 games and I think that continues.

I think Miami wins something like 45-38. I just don't think Pitt's pass defense will be able to stop Kaaya, but Pitt will score some points too.

Captain could have just made this about how the rumors aren't true, instead he made it about comparing Narduzzi to Franklin and Holgorsan and his comparisons and his conclusions were just flat out wrong. This in no way proves Narduzzi is in demand and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Franklin handled the Miami rumors. Franklin is still here a year later...will Narduzzi still be at Pitt? He did just lose a close game to VT, maybe Kansas will steal him away.
