Paul Chryst has the job.
Pitt is having a hard time with coaches...
2010 Wanny leaves,
2010 Interim coach Phil Bennett wins a bowl game
2011 Todd Graham coaches for a year leaves for Arizona State
2011 Interim coach Keith Patterson loses a bowl game
2014 Paul Chryst leaves for Wisconsin
2014 interim coach?
2015 new coach?
They could have seven coaches (3 interim) in five years.
Legitimate question. Does anyone in Pittsburgh care about PITT football? I would imagine it gets completely overlooked with the Steelers in town, kind of like BC and the Pats.
At least BC plays in its own on-campus stadium which makes the smallish crowds seem less pathetic. Pitt plays at Heinz field, and when they draw 20 to 30K, it looks weak with the outline of the Steelers influence everywhere. That said, Pennsylvania produces a lot of football talent, and as a result, there have been a lot of studs that have played at Pitt (Shady McCoy, Darrell Revis, Larry Fitzgerald to name a few).
Pitt was a national power when I was growing up.
Also Hugh Green, Ironhead Haywood
Ummmm dis guy?
Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, not Haywood. He was from Passiac HS in NJ, home of Jack Tatum. I played HS football against him and he trucked me on his first carry of the game. Didnt get much better for me the rest of the way. RIP, Ironhead.
Hugh Green was ridiculously good.
Pitt was ranked number 1 and Green finished second for Heisman as a DE.
The rediculously flopped in the NFL.
