After Saturday the circle jerk will turn into a lynch mob going after Pickett and Narduzzi. And it'll get worse when they lose to Ohio.

I just don’t know how they have time to comment on the Lynch lawsuit to begin with when they live in the BIG CITY with THINGS TO DO.

When you haven't left your Mother's basement since the turn of the century you have lots of time on your hands.

Let me just say one thing. If Pitt goes 11-1 I’ll take a lemon and stick it up my . . . well, you know.

The only reason there aren’t more insane posts on the Lair is because asylums for the terminally insane limit internet access.

It always surprises me how optimistic fan bases can be. Personally, I'm a pessimistic fan - of PSU and the pro teams I root for. To be clear, I don't think being "doom and gloom" like myself is better than being hopeful. It certainly isn't. But, the way I see it, what reason do fan bases outside of Bama and Clemson (some others to a lesser extent) truly have to be hopeful?
I just don't see Pitt winning more than 6 games max. The Mark Whipple hire makes 0 sense to me. Pitt ran the ball near top-10 in the country last year in terms of run/pass split. So Narduzzi goes out and hires an OC who ran it bottom 10?!
They're an underdog in 3 of their first 4 and a 7-point home favorite against Ohio U with a lookahead to PSU. They won't be able to call a vanilla offense against UVA. Meanwhile, OU opens up with Rhode Island.
Aside from the things I just mentioned, I posted a segment of a recent podcast earlier in this thread. As it mentions, Pitt's starting defense is actually quite solid, but it's a very thin group. They already lost their experienced DE who most Pitt fans I know considered their best overall player on that side of the ball. The more time this defense is on the field, the more susceptible to injuries they are. The more injuries this starting defense faces, well....this defense just won't be much to write home about after all.

Whipple was the best they could get and wasn't in demand, same as Watson the year before. It makes perfect sense for a program like Pitt. He was getting $500K at UMass (lots of money for us mere mortals but small for an FBS coach). He's got to be at the low end for an OC. They hired their OLine coach from Maryland where he was a special assistant and hadn't actually coached for a number of years. They'll be stuck as a meh program until they cough up better money for assistants. And, from the looks of things, the ACCN is hardly going to be the cash cow that'll help them pay competitive salaries.

I don’t know where the hell your information is coming from. According to Lair Logic Whipple and the oline coach are game changers.
They are game changers, but the change is for the worse.
I seldom check out the pitt board but I did yesterday to see what they had to say about the doctor shit. I saw several mention Givens getting concused in our 2016 game with them. Anyone remember that?
Actually, I think their OL coach has done a decent job. Everyone on the planet knew they were going to run the ball last year, but they still managed to do it successfully.
Isn't Ollison also gone? Who is likely to be their starting tailback, and how good is he?

Yes they did. And most of the yards came against ACC Coastal opponents. Those RB stats are inflated because of that.
Week 2: US: 245 yards total with hardly anything in the second half
Week 3: Ga Tech: A mere 138 yards. We should be embarrassed.
Week 5: UCF: 109 yards
Week 7: ND: 116 yards
Week 13: Miami: 69 yards
ACC Championship: 191 yards but that's the game Pickett had 8 yards passing. So they had to run on pretty much every play and lots of that was against Clemson bench.
Bowl: Stanford: 208 and a quarter of that came on one run.
Stats can be deceiving, especially when you play against last years Duke and Va Tech defenses.
Yes, they lost both tailbacks from last year. No idea what they have coming back.
True, but you have to give their OL credit for being able to run the ball with absolutely no credible passing attack. None. I'll give their coach credit for that, even if the opposition was not great.

If we have 600 yards against Idaho it doesn't mean anything if we only have 50 against OSU.
Im not going to turn this into a thread defending Pitt, so this is my final word. You cant excuse the totals against us and Clemson by saying they did it all before half or couldnt pass. You cant excuse the totals against the other teams by saying they werent very good. It is what it is. They still managed to do it somehow when everyone knew thats all they had.
How many times have we seen our OL undable to run the ball against a lesser opponent because they were stacking the box. Even with Saquon Barkley. Indiana, Georgia State, Northwestern and Rutgers in 2017 ring a bell??? They knew Barkley was coming AND we had a good passing attack, but we still couldnt run the ball consistently.
I dont like Pitt, and I HATE Nardouchey, but give credit where its due.
Yeah I remember it was near our own goal line and he got absolutely clocked by Manny Bowen chasing down the ball. Definitely looked concussed on the play.

You need to take opponents into account before you give credit. I'm not sure why you argue that we shouldn't.
If they had been able to run the ball when they had to they would not have lost 7 games.....
I saw that too. Narruzzi has been known to overpromise. Really no surprise here. Hope the young man finds what he’s looking for elsewhere.
They never got a clue about what they were getting. The kid decommitted from USC, and then had to choose between Pitt and Syracuse. Why they refused to see something wrong with that picture is puzzling.
Wow, talk about a difference in the impact that a recruiting class has had. We have Shorter, Dotson, Freiermuth, Slade, Walker, Parsons, Luketa, and Pinegar from the class of 2018 listed as starters. Don't think any of their 2018 class is on the 2-deep for Pitt?
Shows you what a Top 5 vs. #36 (including Salahuddin) recruiting class will do. Average class ranking over 5 years is 13 vs 44. Last 3 years is 9 vs 41. That's going to leave a mark on September 14.
Aside from the scoreboard trend, can anything better contrast the difference in direction between these two programs?

While we’re here and while people are talking about Larry Johnson Jr’s domestic violence record (in response to his twitter storm today), why does nobody ever mention Larry Fitzgerald’s domestic disturbance? Is it because people are uncomfortable talking about it because of his clean image or is it because it predates the Ray Rice incident?
Exactly. Pitt lands 2 types of 4 stars
1. From Pittsburgh and don’t want to leave
2. Once highly thought of kids until sr tape and teams sour on them
This is why they think stars do not matter because they don’t for them
They ought to test it first on their O-lineman who tried to drive down side walks and run over police officers first.
Two weeks ago they were all singing his praises and slobbering all over him, and this was his going to be his year. Now he’s a third string dud proving that stars don’t matter, and that he wouldn’t ever crack the two deep. Lair logic at it’s best.
Wait until Pitt's top 2020 recruit RB Henry Parrish of Miami bails on them. He opened up this season with 300+ yards and is poised for a huge season. He will certainly be a plan B RB for numerous FL and other Southern schools.
University of South Carolina is recruiting him hard and he does have an official visit lined up. He is also saying things that would make me nervous if I was a Pitt fan.

With his transfer, that makes 3 (including this year) straight classes without a 4 star recruit...sad.
