Must be an effective ploy. Did anyone else even notice or care.There’s a byline strike at the PG.

Same article for last 20 years.......
To me this is pretty simple. If next year isnt 8 wins or better than he will be in the hot seat. I would personally fire him but my guess is he gets one more season 2021 to get above that mark. .
So just 8 wins... next year... keeps Narduzzi from being put on the hot seat? Really?
$2 million + annually for 5 straight years of mediocre results and still he deserves more time to prove, what... that he may be capable yet of reaching the high end of mediocrity... 8 wins.
Wow.... talk about a cushy, high paying gig.
If you don’t think 8 wins is a good year for Pitt, then your expectations are too high.So just 8 wins... next year... keeps Narduzzi from being put on the hot seat? Really?

Yes, a Head FB coach at a P5 school pays well......you should totally try it

Ha... Only interested in the kind of P5 job Pitt offers, where you are guaranteed at least $2 million and only expected to win 7 games a season and where 9 wins would make me a legend.
Time has almost run out for him to prove he has what it takes to recruit and hire and coach up to an ability above the high side of mediocrity.
Just curious, how long should it take to turn around a football program that is perceived as a dumpster fire by everyone, including the local news media? I've been as big of a critic of Narduzzi as anyone but does anyone really think blowing up the program and hiring a new staff helps right now? The PG just pulls out the other article they recycle titled "Pitt changing coaching staff, again". There is some stability in the program right now and that's pretty good news considering what the five or six years prior to his arrival looked like.

he didn’t take over a dumpster fire. Isn’t it worrying to you that his best two years were his first 2 with the last coach’s players and he had gotten pretty significantly worse since....and yes, I know that pitt might win as many games as 2016, but that schedule was exponentially more difficult. This pitt team would have had 4 wins against that schedule.
If you thought everything was fine when he got here, you're completely unreasonable. Chryst was the last guy since Wanny to last more than a year -- one guy didn't even last a week -- and he was running around the country telling Pitt's top recruits they should wait to commit if they wanted to play for him. Your memory of 2016 is also pretty cloudy. Yeah, better schedule but go look at some of those losses. Certainly not "exponentially more difficult". You're using words you don't understand if you believe that.
Narduzzi isn't setting the world on fire but he's providing much needed stability to the program for the first time in a while. If you don't value that, consider what happens if Narduzzi was let go today. Probably lose the top half of the recruiting class, a bunch of your best kids enter the portal, and you end up rebuilding from nothing. Again. The funniest part is that you'll be here in five years telling us that Narduzzi was better than whoever Pitt ends up with.
The short answer is.... 1-4 years depending on the circumstances.
Do I want Narduzzi fired? No

Do you want stability and to keep going 7-6 or 8-5 or do you want to keep making changes hoping to get better but most likely going 7-6 or 8-5 anyway?
You might as well root for another school then because 10 wins under any circumstance is a very good year for Pitt.It isn’t that simple. The almost mythical 2009 season for wanny had 10 wins, but it was NOT a good season.

What are you talking about.The PG continues their witch hunt over Pitt athletics. They will never see a click or $ from me. EVER
You sort of talked yourself out of what you were thinking.
The circumstances here aren't the same as someone walking into a blue blood that was already decent with a massive budget and prior P5 HC experience. Pitt has been playing musical coaches since the NC, with the exception of Wlat, and has run whatever tradition and pedigree it had into the ground. So yeah, it's not really reasonable for Pitt fans to assume 1-4 years is doable or you end up in the same rabbit hole you've been rushing down for almost 50 years.
Recruiting MAC-level players as Chryst did was a recipe for long-term disaster.
First, if you don’t think that the 2016 schedule was exponentially harder than this year, I have no idea what to tell you. The amount of good to great offenses and QB’s they went up against that year is astounding. They played three future first round QB’s and several others in NFL rosters. You cannot say the same about this year.If you thought everything was fine when he got here, you're completely unreasonable. Chryst was the last guy since Wanny to last more than a year -- one guy didn't even last a week -- and he was running around the country telling Pitt's top recruits they should wait to commit if they wanted to play for him.
