Pitt defensive line coach Charlie Partridge was named the Defensive Line Coach of the Year by Football Scoop on Wednesday morning. The honor went to Partridge after a group of past Defensive Line Coach of the Year winners voted to bestow him with the title based on his achievements in the 2020 season.
Last season, Pitt went 6-5, but the defensive line was the centerpiece of an elite defense that led the nation in sacks, with 46, and tackles for losses, with 111. Pitt fared almost as well in 2019, as the team ranked second in the nation in sacks, with 51, and 10th in tackles for losses, with 103.
