Congrats to them.

Before Narduzzi and Dantonio got to Michigan State, they were in a worse position than we were in when Narduzzi took Pitt over. If I'm Narduzzi, I'm telling recruits that if they believe in him and they want to stay home and stay together, there is no reason in the world that Pitt can't be Michigan State. Its easy to go be a part of that machine in Columbus or to be smooth-talked by James the Used Car Salesman but if they just believe what Narduzzi is saying, we can do something special here.

I've seen Baylor, TCU, Ole Miss, Miss St, and MSU at the top of college football. I know we have a long way to go, but I'm sorry, Pitt is a program that can be those teams.

A little of both, MSU Players still have that No Quit Attitude and just get better every play and every game, and Narduzzi has brought that to Pitt Players too!

Iowa's Ferentz has the same Attitude he instills in his Players too.

PITT and MSU gave Iowa its toughest games this year. Both games decided by 4 to 5 Plays either way!


Best Coaches In Big Ten My View:
1. Meyer, OSU
2. Dantonio, MSU
2. Harbaugh, Michigan
2. Ferentz, Iowa
5. Fitzgerald, NW
6. Riley, Nebraska
6. Chryst, Wisky
8. Franklin, Penn State
9. Wilson, Indiana
9. Durkin, New Maryland
9. Ash, New Rutgers
12. Cubits, New Illinois
14. Claeys, New Minnesota
14. Hazell, Purdue

I actually think Wilson is better than franklin. Switch the two and penn state probably wins more games and Indiana probably loses at least two more.

Yes, amazingly the program somehow survived losing a coordinator. I've heard some speculation that Dantonio may even have something to do with their success.

Exactly. MSU was much, much worse than Pitt before Dantonio. And guess what? He won there and is still there. The whole stepping stone thing is the dumbest thing only the most uneducated person would ever bring up. Unless it is clearly some small school like a low mid-major.
