I hate nobody. But she was derelict in her duties. As AD, she had to see Cig would be a potential disaster, that he’d done nothing to improve any program anywhere he’d been. It was a lazy vanity hire on Duz part and she should have contested it strongly. Maybe she did behind the scenes. Not likely though. And yeah he did have some gravitas he earned from the previous season, but she had to know how important the stakes were this season, to build on that success. Duz is in the weeds, he’s fat and comfortable and will likely be in retirement someday soon, but the AD has to think more long term and understand the powerful headwinds that will soon be in Pitt football’s path.
Slovis is more understandable, he had a good pedigree. And normally a coach will bench a player that sucks outright, so she could expect that to happen if (when) Slovis failed. It so happens Duz is not normal in that regard and is sticking with Slovis to the grim end. Se leve. That’s just the way it goes. That’s life.
When a season backfires as badly as this one did, fingers will appropriately be pointed. Don’t suck, and it won’t happen. It’s a story that has existed as long as competitive sports.
