Season over

Then I hope you'll stop posting!
LOL. Not even close. How you retain the ability to post here when your agenda is so obvious is amazing to me.
Why do I have this ominous feeling that by the end of year 4 we will still be mediocre and Narduzzi will want out and leave. And who is coming in next year that will all of a sudden turn the defense around? As far as I am concerned our recruiting for next year is not very good and that is year 3 of Narduzzi. How long do we give him, year 9??
This team is two players away from being undefeated . Two cornerbacks is all that's needed . Was he handed a roster that was ready to win ? Year two he's doing a great job .
Maybe because that's the kind of person you seem to be on these boards? I choose not feel ominous about the future under HCPN. The fact that the team never quit on him last night or any game for that matter is very telling. I have confidence based on his very strong resume that Narduzzi will address the issues with the defense and it may take the time to get the right players here. Being so doom and gloom is a choice, but you're entitled to your opinion.
You're absolutely loco about that.
Or maybe because Pitt has been disappointing for over 3 decades and it becomes next to impossible to keep having the Pollyanna attitude that you and some others always want to have. This is another in a long line of 6-6, 7-5 seasons and I don't see any huge impact next season with mostly 3 star guys coming here.
yep, changing coaches ever 3 years is the key to success!
Maybe I'm a Pollyanna, but I have to imagine I'm a much happier person than you. Don't get me wrong - I get disappointed and angry at times about Pitt, but I support them win or lose. If it ever came to the point that all I did was bitch about them, I think it would be healthier to walk away and find something else to do. But that's just me.
I know of 107,000 football fans who would sell their souls (if they had one) to trade their coach for Narduzzi.
I am a passionate Pitt fan so yeah, when they continuously crap the bed year after year I don't like it. But aside from Pittsburgh sports I consider myself very happy. I like what I am doing, workout 5 days a week and enjoy life. But unlike you who rarely if ever criticizes the program I am tired of losing.
You do know the difference between being tired of losing and moaning about everything all the time? It is crystal clear that there is very little you like about either the football or basketball programs, so why keep bashing your head against the wall? Seems like a crazy way to demonstrate your "passion".
Passion is great, but Narduzzi's sideline antics make Brian Kelly look under control.
Well excuse me, maybe I am mistaken but isn't this a message board?? Where people have different opinions? I appreciate your diagnosis though doctor. Will my Prozac be ready by noon?
I was very clear you're entitled to your opinions. I was only pointing out that they're usually pretty miserable and it seems crazy if you really feel this way why you bother supporting the team at all. JMO.
You are the last person I ever need to explain why I root for a particular team. But maybe the fact that I grew up in Pittsburgh and went to many games and watched them with my father all of my life MIGHT have something to do with it.
Thanks. You're right. We're all entitled to our opinion. What's your take on coach's sideline performance?
Cool. Have at it then. But don't get defensive when others point out how miserable you come across most of the time here.
I'm extremely optimistic with what I'm seeing and think that we're going to consistently compete for the Coastal within two seasons. Yes the CB play is frustrating and penalties hurt us last night but the linebacker and defensive line play is better than expected and we have kids coming through the pipeline to fill some of the holes that glare on defense.
This is why I watch CFB in general. My dad loves it and because of him so do I. We've both come to the realization that Pitt is destined to be the way they looked last night, always looking for the brass ring, never grasping it. However, the beauty of sports is that optimism is eternal. The Pens looked dead in the water in 2002 and 15 years later they've won 2 cups. I can understand why you rub some the wrong way but I totally understand where you are coming from. My dad feels sorry for me because I wasn't around for the 70's teams and I for him because he will never see it again.
If you are happy other than Pittsburgh sports, then, if you're smart, you give them up for another sports city or team. It is obvious that you and a few others, are 'miserable' and don't enjoy Pitt football. So, do yourself a favor, pick another team that wins every game, then you can post some positives on the message board. You would then have a fulfilling life and enjoy ALL aspects.
Chances are if someone is this miserable about the entertainment in their life, they are unhappy about the rest of their life as well.
We have a winner, and if up to her, she would be shilling for Pedey, as she did often
I agree fully with this. As for Pitt, we need to try and win and stop being our own worst enemy.
That's very funny since I never "shilled" for Pederson ever - I just chose not to bitch about him all the time. I do think he did a good job the first time around, the second not so much and I agree he should have been fired.
I don't like FRANKLIN but this is a lie , he finally has a signature win, do we?
Love my life, love many on this board that I know in person, great kids and wife , but Pitt is one of my passions , and it's been very disappointing the past 25 years, especially when we do much of the damage self inflicting
I feel bad for my son, got him involved as a baby, he been going for years, a rabid fan , he is 21, so he has never seen great football like some of us have. I don't even know how Pitt can expect and think they deserve any fans that are 30 or younger. Those people should be given a badge of honor
If you mean "on the clock" as being on the hot seat, then that's just plain silly.
I am on the negative mostly, but I see them after 1 2/3 seasons self inflicting a bit less, winning a bit more than I thought overall. Still blamable concerns, but also clues Narduzzi and Canada are good coaches.
I don't know if he is a good coach or not , so far , mediocre especially recruiting
I don't see any clue that Narduzzi is a good head coach other than his tantrum abilities. He's top 5 in that department.
As a prior poster stated, we are probably undefeated if we had two (maybe only one) solid corners as opposed to the talent that Chryst recruited. I'm glad to see Hamlin getting some time but he's obviously going to be behind the curve being a true freshman.
I also don't see why all of the blame gies to Narduzzi for the D. When Chryst was coach, all anyone could talk about was how bad House was. I'm not saying Conklin is nearly that bad but I find it on fans arent putting it more on his shoulders. Sure, Narduzzi is a defensive guru but how much time can he spend on coaching up the secondary when he is running the team?
