Pitt soccer makes big splash with coaching hire of Jay Vidovich

Pitt fans haven't known much in the way of success from the school's soccer program recently. That all could change - and soon.

Last month, long-time coach Joe Luxbacher retired. If you're unfamiliar with the program, that name might not mean a ton. But Luxbacher hasn't only served as the program's coach for the past 32 years, but was one of its best players of all time. Playing in the 1970s, he still holds records for career goals (37) and goals in a game (seven), and had a seven-year pro career. He arguably is Pitt soccer.
