April 3, 2017. Defense To Be Deeper… Hopefully Better. 8212; Chas @ 7:37 am. The first two years for Pitt under Head Coach Pat Narduzzi, have been mostly positive. The defensive-minded coach, though, has had to rely on the offense to be the side doing the heavy lifting. Back in early November right before some game against Clemson. Defensive coordinator Josh Conklin said the staff is trying to build a program that flourishes far beyond the outcome that plays out Saturday in Memorial Stadium, whether it&#...

March 19, 2017. Coaching Carousel, Weekend Edition. 8212; Chas @ 1:23 pm. NCAA Tournament has mostly gone according to chalk. Not been a good one for the ACC, as a whole. Down went Louisville, Virginia and Notre Dame. This is what it has felt like in the ACC for the last couple decades. Everyone flaming out and stuck hate-rooting for UNC and/or Duke to carry the banner for the rest of the conference. Sucks. Keatts would have been a hot name last year (perhaps even by Pitt), but everyone was waiting to se...

April 6, 2017. Working Through the Offense. 8212; Chas @ 9:45 am. A week and a half until the Blue-Gold scrimmage, and the pretense of who will be the starting QB in September remains comfortably intact. It’s good that you (reporters) don’t know, Narduzzi said when asked if there was any separation in the quarterback competition. It means we have no leaks in the office. We have four very functional quarterbacks, Narduzzi said. April 3, 2017. Defense To Be Deeper… Hopefully Better. 8212; Chas @ 7:37 am.

Opening Practice: Whitehead, Browne and the Coordinators. 8212; Chas @ 7:41 am. Media availability was pretty decent after the first practice. Max Browne had s ome attention for wearing uniform number 4. February 16, 2017.

March 21, 2017. Filed under: Athletic Department. 8212; Chas @ 12:41 pm. Yesterday was Athletic Director Heather Lyke’s introductory press conference. It was organized, direct and lacked a contentiousness that marked a press conference introducing another new athletic department employee a little less then a year ago. People see what they want to see. I thought Lyke was fine in her unveiling. Not a revelation or makes me ready to endow a weight room or anything. Solid performance. Lyke revitalized &#8212...

April 1, 2017. Cam Johnson Latest to Leave. 8212; Chas @ 8:02 am. Well, so much for an impromptu vacation. You know it’s bad news when a press release is e-mailed out at 5:30 on a Saturday morning:. Redshirt sophomore Cameron Johnson. Will graduate and transfer following the spring semester school officials announced Saturday. Morning. The Moon Township, Pa., native will earn his degree in three years. And high school standouts Aaron Thompson. Man, I hadn’t even gotten the coffee made when I saw th...

April 20, 2017. Opening Vote of Confidence. 8212; Chas @ 7:43 am. These numbers are bad. No matter how you massage them. Since the end of Stallings’ first season and the first losing season at Pitt (16-17, 4-14 ACC) since 2000 — four players have announced plans to transfer, including sophomore Cam Johnson, who would have been Pitt’s top returning scorer. A fifth player — point guard Justice Kithcart — was dismissed by Stallings near the end of the season. April 17, 2017. 8212; Chas @ 6:22 am. There&#821...

March 23, 2017. Pitt Pro Day Fun. 8212; Chas @ 7:24 am. Do campus pro days make a difference? Probably not for the players who received and went through the NFL Combine last month. Guys like Nate Peterman, James Conner, Ejuan Price, etc. who had their measurables taken in that setting probably won’t do much to change things. Any changes for them in the draft board will come from private team workouts and evaluations of their game film. May 22, 2016. A Sunday Afternoon ‘Historical” Podcast. Here is the bo...

April 18, 2017. Quick Links, 4/18. 8212; Chas @ 7:42 am. Sorry Just a little rushed today in the offline world. A few links and topics. Pitt offensive lineman and defending Piesman Trophy winner, Brian O’Neill is apparently hurt and will be spending his summer vacation getting healthy. He should be ready for the start of the season, but still. Penn State will “celebrate” their Big Ten Championship during their second home game. Hmm Who do they play that week? Why not the first week? April 6, 2017. No lea...
