Pitt's Pat Narduzzi defends best friend Mark Dantonio: Criticism 'ridiculous'

Allen Park — Pat Narduzzi was back in Michigan on Wednesday with the primary task of talking about his team’s appearance in the upcoming Quick Lane Bowl.

But the Pittsburgh coach had a message for fans of his former home.

“Be careful what you wish for,” Narduzzi said.

The fifth-year coach of the Panthers was responding to questions about his old boss, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, and the heat he is under from Spartans fans after another disappointing regular season ended with a 6-6 record and a fifth-place finish in the Big Ten East.
