No. Tressel will be the only DC at MSU. Hill be be defensive backs coach at MSU if he agrees to making the move.Well he's going to be the DC at MSU that's a big promotion
Maybe. Seems like a big promotion.Read from a few MSU reporters he could be co DC with tressel and coach CB
Good riddance to Hill! He and Conklin were very close to get the axe anyway in my opinion.
They were absolutely atrocious last year under his coaching. Just saying.You mean since the defense was playing better and the CBs were making plays on balls?
He wasn’t the lead on any....
He was in charge of Detroit/Mich area and didn’t land one recruit to my knowledge
He wasn’t the lead on any.... Just hows many "high stared" recruits do you expect to come from Michigan to Pitt traveling right through most of BIG TEN country?

He is taking a lateral move basically , that happens a lot at Pitt, as we are the AAA to major league college football
The money spent on trying to recruit Michigan was a waste. Hopefully the next two hires have ties to our actual historic and ongoing recruiting turf (PA, NJ, FL, OH, NY, MD/DC/VA.)

In all seriousness how much better were they?? Miami’s QB missed open WR all day. Defense is judged by entire season and the past 3 years overall were horrendous.
Reminds me of when Dixon hired that assistant who came from UMASS that supposedly had a major footprint in the Detroit area. His names escapes me but he had AAU ties. I laughed at that hire because any recruit worth anything in that area is going to Mich St, Mich, Ohio St, etc.. unless you were a blue blood type program who could steal a kid from another blue blood like Mich St. It was a total waste of a resource for a school like Pitt. You need to hire guys with connections to our recruiting areas and Detroit is not going to be one of those areas on a regular basis.
I think his name was Marlon Williamson
Demetrius Gore was from Detroit..Reminds me of when Dixon hired that assistant who came from UMASS that supposedly had a major footprint in the Detroit area. His names escapes me but he had AAU ties.

he sucked the two games I watched him. He must have had a hell of a first half of the season but I expect a lot better when thinking about a QB at Miami. Maybe I just caught his two worst games.. I did watch the Miami vs. va tech game so that was 3 games but I cant recall how he played in that game.Miami QB is worse than half of us on this board at throwing a football
Demetrius Gore was from Detroit..
nothing at all, I was just talking to myself really. please do what everyone else on this board does and just disregard my postsLOL... from the 80's. What does that have to do with almost 30 years later? My point still stands. You hire a coach whose only ties are to Detroit, that is beyond dumb.

Hill declines MSU offer and is retained by Pitt, according to Twitter and PSN.
well MSU is a step up, I mean you don't have to be a hater to admit that. normally I don't care too much about a position coach but im going out on a limb and assuming that MSU did reach out to him, possibly extend offer and Duzzi thought well enough to make a counter offer. More assumptions here but if he wasn't well thought of, I don't think duzzi makes counter offer. So I guess im a hater and im still a tad happy about this development..Great thread. He sucked. It was his alma. MSU better position. We retain by offering more money. Time for an apology thread
Big bummer for all of the haters on this post
