Cincinnati right now 8 - 0 no chance to make playoff, go after Luke Fickell, offer him big bucks, just sayin
He’ll have his pick of a good job when he wants it. He isn’t coming here. Get real.
He's not coming here but alot of coaches would be interested in this job regardless of what some say on here .
He would be the realistic guy that I’d hire if I were Pitt and an opening occurred.
Like Cincinnati, Pitt needs to find the next Fickell. Pitt is a lateral move at best for him. WVU, UC, Iowa State & other similar programs have shown they are capable of selecting multiple good coaches with regularity. Pitt just hasn’t been able to get out of their own way under prior administrations. That said, echoing my desire for Heather to put her stamp on the football program with a new hire. Looks like we might have to see another season of this nonsense though...

What exactly is Matt Campbell doing that Narduzzi isn't? Neal Brown is 10-10.
Tbh, Walt, Wanny, Chryst, and Narduzzi are good coaches and were solid hires. There is only so much you can do at Pitt. In today's landscape, It's not possible to recruit well enough at Pitt to be major player in college football.
I'd like to see him play Clemson on national TV (even though I'm not sure what the national TV angle has to do with anything, as almost every game is available nationally) ISU played ND on ABC in their Bowl game last year and got waxed 33-9
Stop losing and trolls will bug off.
I don’t know who we could hire to compete with Clemson. I really don’t think there is anyone in the country that could take us from where we are to being a top 10. Too many factors against us that the greatest coach can’t overcome.
Iowa St was 8-28 the 3 years prior to Matt Campbell taking over. He was handed a steaming pile of dog crap and has completely turned that program around in no time. He also went 35-15 at Toledo. Campbell is 41 years old and a rising star in the profession.
Let’s put Iowa St into perspective. In the last 100 years of football their best record ever was 9-3. Campbell is doing an incredible job.
Agree.
Our administration doesnt have the resources needed, or the stomach for what you put up with to be top 10.
He seems like a great fit for Michigan and I would bet his agent has already been contacted.
Yes. And he also ingratiated himself w/ the media by saying his inspiration was getting away from the loser culture at Pitt. Yeah... but keep pumping this guy up.
I said this a week or two ago. Michigan should absolutely hire Campbell as soon as possible.
How exactly is he wrong? 1990-1999 were absolutely awful. I just call it like I see it. It is a message board to discuss football.
I remember the days or years when everyone claimed it was so much easier to recruit at VT than Pitt... “their campus is beautiful etc etc” ...we’ve spent the last decade and a half basically clobbering them...
it shouldn’t be so difficult to recruit well in a great city like Pittsburgh which was a much less desirable place in the late 70s and early 80s to live...

Michigan will have their pick, but there are many issues that program has to make it hard on any coach. Sure, you get the Michigan brand and name and recruiting, but you get all that other crap like big donors and exceptionally short level of patience
Mainly because he made that comment in '98 *after* Walt had pretty much reversed the culture in '97. Are you telling me there was no change in the program between 1996 and 1997? If so... you're an idiot.
Hey Poker, yeah not a paying member anymore but still get good info from my sources. I totally understand most posters frustrations especially in a coach's 6th year. Not hearing that PN will get fired but that can change since Heather keeps things close to the vest. Just our luck we had to play 2 of the 4 teams that are going to the college playoffs but we should be more competitive than we showed. Smh H2P!
Just not after losses they're just miserable.

Thx, I might come back it's just been a rough year. A very rough year for everyone H2P!
Why is it so hard to believe that he didn’t have a good experience and felt there wasn’t a good culture at the time he was there? We went 2-9 during the year he was at Pitt. I don’t know what he experienced. That is his perspective.
Agree he can get a blue blood job at this point. He is basically like a top 5 5* recruit he isn't coming unless he had a connection to pitt.
It's not close to a lateral move pitt is a better job and it's not close. But fickell can get a top 10 job and pitt isn't in that category
Has heather come out of her basement. I haven’t seen or heard a public comment from her since July.
According to Wikipedia (I know I know) he makes $200k more at Cincy then Duzz does here. Think about that for a moment. Cincy in the American is paying more than Pitt in the P5.
