Shawn Watson left his role as Indiana quarterbacks coach Thursday to become the new offensive coordinator at Pittsburgh.

The Panthers' official website confirmed the hiring of Watson and noted that he'll also work as quarterbacks coach at Pitt. The announcement included a statement from head coach Pat Narduzzi about the staff addition:

Shawn Watson was one of my first mentors in this business. He sat me down as a young coach and taught me how to work with wide receivers in my first full-time job at Miami in the early 1990s.
