For a guy who's paid so much to be an alleged football "coach," he really doesn't understand why CJF is changing up the signals? Never change, Dooz!
Narduzzi can't shut up about Penn State
- Thread starter Nick's Name
- Start date
I kind of like the guy. He seems to have a sincere concern for his players and the kids gravitate toward him. That being said, Lets kick some butt. We Are...
So in summary we all can hope he is there another 20-30 years........
Ron cook’s article this week (perhaps inadvertently) highlighted how much CJF is in Narduzzi’s head. Everything is reactive. This whole “signals” bs is just further proof how Franklin controls the narrative. Again and again he says jump and up Narduzzi goes. Dooz, keep up; the joke is on you. What a pathetic chump he is.
It’s a rent-free, thought-free zone; what’s not to like?
I get your point at the same time the BE is terrible. Villanova and the nine dwarves. The league is a thin shadow of the glory days.
I don;t think that is fair. Butler played in 2 national championship games THIS decade. Xavier has more sweet 16 appearances than 98% of college teams. Seton Hall plays good basketball, certainly Georgetown has a rich history, Marquette is a good program, Uconn is coming back into the fold, Providence has a great coach.
I think Joe elevated Penn State to a national brand and Pitt could not keep up. Joe made Penn State THE big dog in the east and relegated Pitt to an afterthought.
Excellent point, Madsol. Joe did the exact same thing to Syracuse, and the Orange nation has hated him and Penn State ever since.
I overstated for effect, at the same time as one who graduated from Villanova in 1984, I think the league has gone from the greatest in history down to the weakest of the major conferences.
Only if he stays on the sidelines until the 4th quarter, and with his antics including throwing headsets and running out onto the field it's a miracle that he doesn't get tossed from games by halftime......
Stop, they got consistently get the 3rd or 4th most teams into the NCAA tournament.
I’m so embarrassed for this guy. Franklin basically said he changed his signals and this clown went nuts. I can’t wait to watch this demolition on Saturday
Even the Big Ten Network referred to Penn State as the Big Brother and Pitt as the Little Brother yesterday.
Narduzzi is just one of those petty, snarky people who just needs conflict. He cant help himself.
As the reporter said, Duzzi brought up the issue on his own (clearly annoyed that no reporter brought it up first). He went on a 2 min 44 second rant and pretty much called Franklin a paranoid thief who likely steals signals himself while accusing others of doing it.
Then he continues on how it’s impossible to steal signals. Maybe he should talk to Bill Belichik, John Madden, Troy Aikman, and Bill Cowher who all say that everyone does it.
If Franklin would have ranted about Narduzzi it’d be all over the outraged Pittsburgh media and on the ESPN ticker.

The article was a subtle undressing of Narduzzi. When you read it, it’s clear the author goes out of his way to portray the Pitt coach as paranoid and petty — and the author does it in great detail.Narduzzi is just one of those petty, snarky people who just needs conflict. He cant help himself.

You move to the left then you move to the right, scream your fool head off with all of your might... Do the... do the... do the Dickety Douche!
C’mon everybody...strike up the band and do the Dooz!!
Narduzzi’s pissed because he used a scholarship on a guy so he could get our signals and then that no good Franklin changes the signals...blew up Duzz’s genius plan.
I said this in the thread with the weekly articles.
Teams that hurry up to the line and go through a fake snap and then look over to the OC. ARE NOT DOING IT TO STEAL SIGNALS.
They do that to get the defense to show their front and coverage so the OC can then call the best play possible against what the defense is showing.
Also the original idea of hurry up offenses, is to force the defense to be vanilla with their schemes. Now what you are seeing is defenses change their calls when the Offense looks over at the sidelines.
It’s a chess match with the OC and the DC and their schemes. Basically what Duzz just admitted is that he’s playing tiddlywinks, not even checkers.

Narduzzi is an arrogant, humorless, sarcastic pri_k. He can't get decent recruits because he is so unlikable.
Don't be surprised if he has a total meltdown tomorrow. When we are ahead 65 - 3 and Franklin has Levis still passing the ball I expect Narduzzi will see his life pass in front of him and he will realize that he's a failure. This may make him completely unhinged. We may see a Woody Hayes moment.

I can see why the genius is so ticked ... my inside source told me CJF made the new signals really, really tough for Douche to crack.
Motto? I thought that he said it was a goal. I thought it strange that it wasn't Pitt's goal as well.
My favorite part is him wondering how Clifford and Slade will play in a big game. Douche will have to wait a few weeks, like the rest of us, to see that.
Just remember, our coaches are smart until 12:05 p.m. tomorrow.
pitt would be happy just to dominate Oakland, but they have to deal with Carnegie Mellon.
It sounds like Narduzzi thought he had the Penn State defense figured out with Petrishen there and now he's upset because all the work he did to learn the PSU signals is irrelevant.
“Waste not wont not”, I’m sure the Duzz will use the PSU signals as the foundation of his game plan against the Tarheels this year.
Doesn’t stop Wanny from always picking Pitt tho
In that explanation, the most noteworthy thing Narduzzi said in response: “We haven’t been thieves, I guess. But usually the people who are paranoid are the people stealing them.”
Let me tell you something: If Narduzzi DIDN'T pick John Petrishen head, about everything he knows about Penn State that could help give Pitt an advantage, the minute he stepped on Pitt's campus, HE'S A COMPLETE IDIOT!
It's not stealing. It's taking advantage of your assets (which would now be John Petrishen) and using those assets to your advantage. It's nothing new. Every NFL coach does it. Every NFL coach knows every other NFL coach does it and makes adjustments (like changing their signals).
That's YOUR COACH Pitt fans. LOL!!!!!!

I wonder what it would take for the Duzz to completely crack and resign being Pitts coach during the game. I hope Franklin pushes enough to find out.
He's a stuttering, sputtering goof. The Yosemite Sam of coaches.
I'm having the same thoughts. This is Coach Franklin's last chance to push Narduzzi over the edge. My idea is to get ahead by something like 61 - 3, have Levis drive the ball to inside the pitt 5 yard line, put Wade in the wildcat formation and let him run the ball into the endzone. I think this might make Narduzzi completely unhinged. We might get a Woody Hayes moment that would be remembered for decades.
