It brings me no joy to say this but 6 years of Narduzzi speaks for itself. Unless we make a change, years 7-8 will look just like thisor much worse. In the corporate world I never got excited when the BOD was yelling…..I got concerned when they were quiet. . Hoping against hope that Heather has been getting advice from and interviewing potential coaches. I don’t care if the players loathe them, as long as they respect them! Players love Duzz (really?) but it’s obvious they don’t respect him. Did you see the Pitt sideline clowning in the second half today???

I’m crap at predicting games…I thought Pitt would keep it under an 14 point loss.
Say what you want about Pickett but I don’t think he’ll be “playing on Sundays” next season…nor for Pitt. He puts up big passing yardage numbers due to a non-existent running game but he isn’t all that effective in getting us in position to score (58th of 127 – thanks Austin Peay!) or 3rd down conversions (95th @ .367)
Very good QBs don’t have big swing up and down games regardless of who they play. They are consistent in their effectiveness.
Before this game Pickett stood at 58th in Passing Eff. @ 137.9. Now his PE rating is 134.0. He’ll end up clustered with Sunseri, Voytik, Stull, etc…as one of a long line of average at best Pitt QBs (save Petermen).
Well, 6-5 looks a lot better than 4-7 as some thought we’d be. Fingers crossed for a GT win for us.

But most of those other teams would not get blown out. BC played the Domers tough. Cuse plays clemson tough. The number of blow out losses under Narduzzi is troubling. He has far more national embarrassments than signature wins.
I count at least 8 blow outs compared to just 3 signature wins over six seasons.

Only reason clemson didn’t hang 80 on Pitt is because their 4 th string walk-ons played in the 4th.
This program is getting close to what the majors 2 era was like with blow out losses. And Narduzzi has four times the budget and far better facilities than Johnny ever did. Plus he has a boss that loves him.
So I say the state of the program might actually just be worse given Pitts resources today.

Will the Pitt Administration (Gallagher and BoT) get it after watching that debacle? This job is too big for Heather.
When Charmin tried the “Flea” flicker and our qb made the horrible decision to throw it anyway into double coverage, Dabbo came in for the kill. Dabbo clowned Charmin and Narduzzi by executing a real flea flicker that turned into a huge game, maybe a TD, He basically said watch the master clown you and the university. The Dabbo’s could have scored 70 had they wanted
At the end of the game when it was 52-17, and the Dabbo’s returned a fumble recovery to the 2, he tried to score, twice. We stopped their walk-ons with our schollie players. So we should celebrate. Wait til you see what we have coming back Charlie Brown.

Trying to put the Clemson game behind us and looking ahead, this team better be ready for GT or greater disappointment lies on the field at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
GT smacked 56 points on Duke last night – 8 TD’s – 2 per qtr. Their QB threw for 3 TD’s and rushed for 108 yards.
Pitt slipped to 9th in the ACC standings yesterday and has a losing record with away games at 1-3 (thank you FSUx for that 1 victory on the road). This team does not travel well. Now that I read that last line, let me rephrase that to, this team does not do much of anything FB-wise very well.
The Aussie punter averaged over 46 yards per boot and with over 460 yards for the game. So let’s add up the failed drives yesterday –
Punts = 10
INT’s = 4
Fumble lost = 1
End of 1st half = 1
FG’s down > 3 scores = 2
Total failed drives vs Clemson = 18
Did I miss any? If I do the simple math and take 18 x 3 (and out) = 54 plays
Pitt ran a total of 67 plays and Clemson ran 90

That was difficult to watch, but not unexpected. A well rested team with something to prove.
Face it we have a few guys that may play on Sundays, they have a few guys that will star on Sundays and a whole bunch that will play. They have a decent chance to win it all again and needed to show that yesterday.
It certainly didn’t help that our guys missed a bunch of passes that should/could have been caught, ending drives. KP was not sharp but he had no help from his line or receivers. Obviously we know we have no running game. We had one circus catch made by Addison. They had so many I lost count. They also have the best QB in the NCAA who made great passes almost every time, and runs like an antelope.
We did hold a great running back to a reasonable number and got a few sacks against a great line and an elusive QB.

Plenty of very good and would be interested candidates out there. Need to make a hire before this program turns into a dumpster fire. It’s headed there quickly.
Narduzzi will have more blow out losses than majors 2 by next seasons end. And Johnny was an old drunk with no administrative support with horrible facilities.

1-13 is an amazing ratio. I thought it might be bad but that is horrible.
Too often Pitt fans hold on to one thing at the expense of others. PN’s big upsets are great and fun to watch but they overshadow the crux of the situation in his coaching.
When you cannot adapt your gameplay to individual opponents and thus throw the same thing out on the field week after week…that is poor HC & staff coaching.
When an opponent sees you can’t run the ball going into the game they know Pitt will pass, pass and pass and be ready for it. Fans will say that our OL and RBs suck and that’s why we can’t run the ball…but that falls directly on PN and his poor recruiting. Pitt sucks on O because no good offensive players want to play for Narduzzi knowing he doesn’t give a crap about offense.
Our defense puts up gaudy numbers like sacks, etc. But we give up 25 ppg which lands us at #41 nationally. This years ppg allowed against ACC teams is 28 ppg which is poor given all the hype this team’s defense has had.
In two games we were outscored 97-20… That’s what our fantastic defense is – good against average teams and crap against quality.
I look at our roster and see real problems ahead. Yellen is not a good P5 QB and our RBs will still be poor producers trying to run behind an average at best OL.

Narduzzi will get one more chance to fix the offense. The entire offensive staff should be flushed out as Powell and Beatty are proving to be useless after all. I cannot see Pat hitting on both his OC and OL coaches and hitting on one would shock me.
Of course, the chances of Pitt hiring a better coach than Narduzzi is at or around 50 percent. I keep reading how Heather needs to hire someone young and energetic. Since when does Pitt do that? Walt, Wanny, Chryst and Narduzzi were statues on the sideline and each’s winning percentage reflect their personality at Pitt. This administration also hasn’t a single clue or care in the world to fix the program.
Hey, maybe Pitt does that rare feat and goes 4-0 in the OOC in 2021. Better land a good grad transfer QB to have a chance at making that happen.

That was and remains one of the biggest blunders in Pitt Football History (of very many I might add).
Pitt would have been in position to take advantage of the chaos at Pedo State, when that happened and entered the ACC with a stable and very possible Top 20 program. Not limping in as just another middling northern team/school with no Direction and nobody at the helm that knew what the hell that were doing.
