Excellent offense Chryst's last year? You gotta be joking...he couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag
Agree, a voice of reason. We lost to a top ten team with multiple NFL players on offense, including a potential Heisman finalist.
It takes time to succeed and not everyone can succeed when success is winning 10 or 11 games. People seem to think we have a God-given right to win the national championship and if we just tried harder and cared more and spent more money we'd obviously be wildly successful. There are a lot of good schools and programs that work hard in practice and recruit good athletes. We can't surpass all of those teams every year, especially given structural challenges (merely decent recruiting territory, local competition, no strong history, pro sports city, etc.).
Are your lives truly decimated by our loss on Saturday? It was a nice day, hopefully you saw some friends. Obviously we aren't elite this year, but there are many freshman and RS freshman who will contribute in the future. And even if we don't go on to have fifteen consecutive, undefeated seasons, the world will keep turning, the Union will endure. The complaining by grown adults acting like they are being publicly executed because young adults played football less well than other young adults is insane.
Last time I checked running yards per game isnt the best measure of offensive productivity. And whose fault was it that they only had Chad Voytik?
Stacked? VaTech was very mediocre after the Michael Vick years. You know that big 2003 game at Heinz Field against the top 5 Hokies?... That VaTech team finished with 5 losses and was unranked. Miami was the only Big East team ranked at the end of 2003.
Actually, Miami was the only Big East team that finished with a Top 10 ranking in 2001, 2002, or 2003.
Finally, thank you for the breath of fresh air.... I read these threads (cant help myself) and gotta believe there are a number of Pitt Pokers on here. We are all frustrated and cant understand why we cant get it together on the gridiron. I believe Narduzzi is the right guy for the job which is gonna take a few more years to right the ship...
I'm not sure how you can, on one hand, say narduzzi needs time to get his players in year three, then blame Chryst for having voytek.
So using your same logic, who's fault is it that narduzzi's db's and lb's are terrible?
Can't have it both ways.
yea I do, because if I'm them as a competitor I'm thinking I got a chance to hit the field early.
There's no way PN should be fired or should resign right now.
There are some issues though. Recruiting isn't even close. The defense isn't even close. And the rest of the Coastal is trending up at a higher pace.
All of that is a problem depending on where you think the program should be. As some have said: Pitt is an 8-5 program. If that is where you think the inherent ceiling of the program is, then the above concerns aren't really "concerns."

Hopefully PITT sells the "hit the field early" message. Its important to be noticed and get PT early.
Use the Conner example of you have some position flexibility at PITT, or the Donald example where early PT gave him a chance to develop and be a star in the NFL. Dion Lewis is another example along with others!
Go elsewhere, get buried, get injured, get replaced by the hot new freshman recruit, etc and end up nowhere!
I get being frustrated. I also understand emotional responses. Not that I respect the latter.
However, this firing/resigning stuff just doesn't seem very well thought out no matter the length of some of these explanations. This is third world thinking. And third world thinking doesn't produce much success.
At the end of 18 he will get a big raise , move on to Michigan st, as we are a training school , or be fired. Let's hope it's a big raise. Save this post
he might go back there at the end of this season. Didn't I read that MSU's current coach is on the hot seat? If their current coach retires/forced to retire then of course Narduzzi will sprint back to Lansing

Did you mean time to resign, coach as in quit, OR;
Did you mean time to re-sign coach as in extend?

First my response was a joke! Not requiring a response!
Second fyi frustrated is a female or a liberal male response to a problem they dont want to deal with.
Third hiring and firing is the strenght of our GREAT free market capitalistic economic system.
When you live in a socialistic or third world country you have a job for life no matter how big of a loser you are!
I'm guessing thats where you fit in because all this firing and hiring make you uncomfortable!
Otherwise ?

I doubt Dantonio is going to be thrown out anytime soon. The bonus is through 2020, its 2017 thats three more years. They won't make a move until after the 2018 season at the earliest and thats only if they finish below .500. 7-5 and 7-5 will get Dantonio another year if he wants it.
Just a little internet rehab advice. 1. Click the edit button and delete your idiotic original post. 2. Stop using this handle- it's shot and no-one will ever take anything you say seriously. 3. Take a break from posting anything football related. 4. Pick up a hobby like smoking a bowl during Pitt games- it will likely make your post seem more intelligent
If you think the AD should go after Narduzzi, you're even dumber than you appear. You literally have zero clue of what you're talking about. First you attack football, then you go after basketball.
Ha. You are an odd man.
Why do you correlate socialism with the third world? Most of the first world is socialist.
I am speaking about the idea of wanting to fire someone whenever things go bad. Or not valuing the people that you rely on to do a great job. Getting upset in moments while forgetting the long term. That does not build anything. It creates a perpetual state of rebuilding. And never develops potential.
Let this man build a program. Or don't, and you are sure to get exactly what you fear so much that you are already getting.
