This time last year, Pitt football was still fighting for bowl eligibility. This Friday, they'll instead be looking to finish their best regular season since 2009. The difference in this team and previous years' is apparent, but the team's success can only be sustained into 2016 if Pat Narduzzi is retained as head football coach.
After several seasons of relative unrest at the head coaching position, Pitt Football may have finally found its guy in first-year head coach and former Michigan State Spartans defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi. The new head ball coach has so far thoroughly exceeded expectations for his debut season, and his energy and success on the recruiting trail so far promises better days ahead.
