Pitt wants to sign Narduzzi to extension and raise

[canuckhal]

Just because.

Pitt: Head coach Pat Narduzzi and Pitt are working on a new 7-year contract with a salary increase and bump for his assistant coaches pool, per tweet from Pete Thamel. Narduzzi is 21-17 overall leading the program, including a win a few years ago against top-ranked Clemson as well as an undefeated Miami team this season. Narduzzi went 8-5 his first two seasons, and then 5-7 last year.

So ASWP has an AD that's an even bigger dumbshit than PSU's.

Pitt understands who they are. Narduzzi is about as good as it gets.

It's Pitt....buy first year and get next 6 free.

What makes the contract unique is the buyout clause....Pitt has to pay someone else to hire him after year 2.

They better lock him up. It was so obvious from all the recent coaching openings how much demand he was in.

Tennessee was in complete meltdown from the largest dumpster fire seen in a long time. They interviewed anyone with a pulse- coaches from Purdue, Duke, North Carolina State, etc- but never once contacted Narsnuzzi.

And pitt thinks they need to lock him up long term with a raise??? They are so delusional.

More a sign that it's AD has capitulated after less than a year on the job.

Also a real possibility.

5-7 certainly deserves a raise.

Contracts are meaningless anyway, right? If he sucks they'll cut him loose. If he wins he'll leave for a better job

Meaningless except for the money that changes hands.

This is the truth. Pitt football provides so much entertainment. The threads that will occur next year because of this extension will be EPIC all season long. There are a few with common sense on that board but the majority have two personalities they are called

Offseason - Happy, 10 wins, Nard dog, this is the year, PSU, PSU, PSU

During season - kill me now, PSU, PSU, next year, kill me now, PSU

I wonder if the new contract will include a bonus for “getting close to being Bowl-eligible”

 

[Phil's Rug]

Boy pitt really Tennesseed that

 

[Norm Petersin]

All 17 fans have gathered to celebrate. His phone has been ringing off the hook with offers.

 

[91Joe95]

He should hold out for free drinks.

At the end of his contract he gets a free beverage

 

[Agoodnap]

I guess the Pitt administration was afraid Duzz's contract might start to affect recruiting.

 

[LurkerLazarus]

The best part of his new deal is unlimited keychains for the length of the contract.

What's the bad news?

That’s not even remotely possible.

What's the bad news?

The bad news is that Pitt may have that idiot around for another 7 years. In an era when one 5-7 season gets a coach fired, at Pitt it is rewarded with an extension and raise. Good thing he has a top recruiting class coming in to replace his good players declaring for the draft.

The bad news for PSU? Can't think of any. Pretty much insures that Franklin will continue to dominate the state.

Keep him for the first three years then tarp the final 4 years of the deal.

 

[NITTANYJGK]

Outstanding news from a recruiting standpoint. That stammering, stuttering fool can't recruit a lick. Lock him up for 7 beautiful years. Pitt could have canned him and hired someone that actually had a personality. This assures that any top quality W Pa target in future years will not select Pitt over PSU.

Thank you Pitt!

 

[psuro]

If he stays the entire 7 years does he get a free beverage?

 

[LurkerLazarus]

So ASWP has an AD that's an even bigger dumbshit than PSU's.

That's a familiar word.

 

[pandaczar12]

Shouldn't the headline read "Pitt rewards mediocrity"?

This is great news, the longer they keep that near 0.500 raving lunatic on the sidelines, the better!

 

[pandaczar12]

Well played! But only if he doesn't fall asleep on the sidelines like the fan(s) in their rental stadium.

Oh, it's possible. Maybe difficult to imagine, but still possible.

We better pray we beat Pitt next year or him beating us 2 out if 3 will be unbearable.

Funny, the tweeter mentions their big wins, even from last season, but fails to mention the key chain game.

Don’t think that’s is really much of a concern. Now if it was Akron I would have at least a slight concern.

 

[LurkerLazarus]

It's good to know that JF won't have to spend too much effort fending off Pitt's recruiting efforts in Pennsylvania for the next 7 years. Now they can plan their days out more efficiently.
