Pitt-Narduzzi working toward new 7-year contract
- Thread starter Burgh15
- Start date
^2X. I don't either, unless the AD has inside info that Narduzzi is being targeted seriously by another program.
This could help with recruiting. I think one of the receivers' parents that just visited asked about his contract at Pitt. Plus, I am sure other coaches in the area are bringing up our recent coach instability. I just hope is buy out is big enough.
We have a better chance of getting to where we want under narduzzi than letting him go and hiring someone who is under the radar. I've seen pitt F up enough coaching searches in my life, I'm good with not rushing into another disaster
Pay the man Shirley.
Pay the man Shirley.
Lose to Syracuse. Fire the bum.
Beat Duke and Virginia. He deserves another year.
Lose to North Carolina and Virginia Tech. Fire the bum.
Beat Miami. Give him a lifetime contract!
So, that number for Narduzzi/Pitt is completely wrong.
That is the University taxable payout for the 2015 season, before he got his extension and raise that kicked starting for the 2016 season. It does not include several hundred thousand dollars in other pay that does not come directly from the University. I am extremely confident in saying he makes at least $2.5M in 2017 (which you could then compare to those reported salaries/contracts) and I would bet on more than $2.7M with a good shot at $3M.
He is likely already making at least $2.75M and probably $3M before any new raise for 2018.
NIT maybe last year if Luther and Young werent hurt, but they’d be a disaster this year. Cupboard was bare. Dixon knew it. Now if Barnes was competent enough to hire a good replacement, then we’d be more hopeful, it Dixon was on his way out when Nordy and Pedey boy were no longer in his corner.
As long as there is fairly strong buyout language and incentive pay mechanisms, this is a good move. In a long term contract, there is obviously an increased chance he goes somewhere else, and if that happens we want the money needed to try to avoid a hire on the cheap Haywood debacle.

As they say in the casino that Mrs Buffett and I frequent:
$ Pay the Man! or Lady $
He's got the cards!
You can see the sweat on Pitt's forehead as they try to bluff?
Pitt can't bluff anymore because there aren't good candidates willing to take the job.

People are going to be doing the same thing next year when they use the 2016 numbers and say that is the extended contract amount and say Pitt is cheap and they won't donate.
I agree. People are even quoting the 2015 numbers as 2016 numbers because they don't have a clue and people like Batko at the PPG don't know or don't care to explain it when they write their articles about it.
I’m fine with the illusion of stability .
I’ve been underwhelmed with some of his coaching, particularly our defense.
So, if that is the case, every other coach on that list is making more than they have reported as well , right ? So in reality , those coaches are still making more , as their salaries are under reportedly like Duzz, or is it just Duzz who is making more than reported on that list ? We are competing against those schools , so we need to pay the going rate , and until we find out the next contract , we are behind , PERIOD!
No. The vast majority have their contracts released via FOIA requests, so their total compensation is known and for 2017. Very few schools are set up similar to Pitt in this regard.
