Fire Narduzzi.
Fire Whipple.
Fire Heather.
Fire EVERYONE and Everybody.

Line 'em up and mow 'em down.
So sayeth the Firing Squad.

Even the Romans only decimated (1 out of 10) of under-performing legions.
You can't fire everyone.
If you ever ran a business, coached a team, or were den mother to some cub scouts you'd know that

And frustration expressed loudly and repeated often is NOT analysis.
Nor does it mean you're right if the echo chamber agrees (And it always does. Every time).

The Majors-Sherrill era shows it is possible to win big here.
Pitt was as good as anyone then.
But it takes patience and you need to have success to build on.

And you need a good Coach.
IMHO Narduzzi is the first decent, capable coach Pitt has had since Sherrill.

Take the view from 30,000 feet and ...
give him and his staff credit for building a roster far better and with more depth than his predecessors back to Jackie.
for having a good eye for underrated talent and being able to develop it
for building a staff that can recruit and stabilizing it
For knowing defense.
Oh yes, he stubborn. Do you want a coach without strong views? Coaches are hired for their beliefs and judgment.
He's switched offenses, which shows he's not inflexible (even if he refuses to take advice from the Firing Squad. Imagine.)

Go ahead. Put me up against the wall. Don't need no blindfold. Shoot away.
These losses were tough to take. Team could be 6-0. But it has talent, depth and help is on the way.
If you're patient and don't blow the whole thing up now.
