Nardawg changes culture at Pitt

I miss Nardawg.

“My first year here was with (former coach Paul) Chryst (in 2014),” said junior linebacker Quintin Wirginis, who went to Fox Chapel with Bisnowaty. “And I felt like he was a little bit scared to mention the word championship. (Coach Pat) Narduzzi gets here and he says, ‘We're going to win a championship.' Everyone in the locker room truly believes we are going to win a championship.”

I miss that guy.

Our defense has taken a huge step back since he left. Once the guy gets his players in his scheme is awesome. Took me a while to warm up to him since 2009 sucked so bad but wow since.

No defense under Dantonio will ever be as good as 2013 and 2012 was great also. So rare to have two shutdown corners and great safety play.

If MSU can stay healthy on D they could be outstanding again.

They just have to keep working to get better too.

Yep. 2009 ring a bell? Nobody got home. Opposing defenses scored at will. Stats were for losers year. But he proved his schemes work with the right people.

Yeah you need the jimmies and the joes to run your stuff. Duzzi implemented his style without the horses to start.

I especially miss his 4th Q sideline motivationals. Those were fun to watch.
