State Penn just fired their OC
- Thread starter ratking17
- Start date
You can do a lot of things when you get the amount of financial support that Psu receives.
I believe most assistant coaches run on 2 yr contracts. Getting rid of cignetti now and letting Tim Salem or Pat Bostic from the booth call plays should not affect pitts Financials.
You think Cignetti’s salary is the problem ?
Lol
One thing Franklin has proved is he can ruin the best QBs. Now he is making his OC his scapegoat.

Someone had to be the scapegoat for PSU losing to Michigan and Ohio State again. It wasn’t gonna be Franklin…
Someone tell Frankie we have a battle tested OC ready to go for them now….

True. Franklin never believed in taking responsibility for anything and always deflecting to others.
All those resources to be the third best team in their division.
Nice ROI
Nice ROI
He also is a master of trying to erase evidence that others have recorded
I’m so tired of Pitt being categorized as the Sisters of the Poor - get the money and stop crying broke!
Exactly 💯 so we can continue to trot our stubborn ass coach that calls Pittsburgh Boo town and racks on his current players. Nice
Some posters thought the Cignetti hire was better than sex at the time.
I agree with you that changes need to be made, but I also don’t like in fantasy land. Firing 3 assistants is more realistic than eating a massive buyout on Narduzzi.
Where is this pot of gold going to come from to buy out Narduzzi? How much do you think it will cost to buy him out?
Sauce, your a reasonable poster but the question is do you think PN will be willing to hire competent assistants???? I don't see that happening. I want Pitt to be successful and wish Cignetti had done a better job. FC was getting fired from BC. More than 3 assistants need shown the door and this team needs an overhaul.
Where? The same place Stallings' came from.
I think he deserves 1 chance to right the ship. That starts with revamping the offensive staff.
Will he do it and make the right hires? I don’t know.
Do I think we have boosters that will eat his buyout? Absolutely Not.
some posters think any hire is great, regardless of who it is.
There is the problem. They put too much faith in PN to make good hires. He's stubborn
Narduzzi should be on the phone with Yurcich right now with an offer.
There are no number of boosters who are eating the buyout. It's a dream not based in reality. Hell, look at what it will take for A412 to raise a piddly million dollars
Heather has no leverage, and neither does Gabel. Maybe they can offer Duzz more resource if he makes changes
The best we can hope for is this being so bad that Narduzzi finally comes to his senses.
Pitt fans would likely have embraced a Yurcich hire given his OSU and Ok State pedigree. Had some great material (thx Beano) at WR and RB but it didn’t work out against the best D’s. On the other hand, Pitt can’t stack wins or stats against “meh“ conference foes.
Precisely. I'm a realist as well. It ain't gonna happen. Sacrificing some assistant coaches is more realistic. Now who he replaces the coaches with is the key.
Pat had to check with Frank before firing him. But Frank said no, and Pat said ok.
'Dey Firing Da Wrong Guy': Penn State Fans React To Mike Yurcich's Firing
"So, bring Joe Moorhead back?"

Wasn't this guy suppose to be the one who elevated the offense? IIRC, weren't they raving about him when he was hired?
Thanks, Nitter, but we'll pass. You already stuck us with yet another in your long line of bum QBs.
I’m a Pitt fan realist. The only downside to him is that he might be up for a better job elsewhere.
He’s a local, which we know Narduzzi loves.
He’s got recruiting chops and I imagine has already been working our regions and has relationships.
He been the OC for 8 top-20 offenses in his 9 seasons as an Offensive Coordinator at PSU, Texas, and OK State.
Under most circumstances we wouldn’t have a chance to get him at this point in his career. He’s going to land a P5 OC position and he would be a Home Run hire for this program.
If the Big10 was truly serious about punishing Michigan for their misdeeds they would have kicked Franklin off the sidelines Saturday instead of Harbaugh....
That would be the ultimate troll move so he'll probably do it. Marion is going to be a wanted man. And we coulda had him.....and maybe Addison
Yep...and ragged on us who thought it was a complete disaster.
And we're supposed to think PN will be willing to part ways with 4-5 assistant coaches?? Hopefully he won't have a say in that. Bring back Beatty to run the offense. The heat is on PN and not on the street lol. H2P
