Podcast appearances and mentions of Pat Narduzzi

Yesterday we counted down the top five Pitt players of the century. Today we're narrowing the focus a bit: who are the top 10 players of the Pat Narduzzi era at Pitt? It's trickier than it looks, but we're counting them down on today's Morning Pitt.

Art Rooney II says a ‘little bit longer' for Aaron Rodgers. We don't think he has any clue when Rodgers is showing up or signing that contract. Are the Steelers prepared for everything that comes along with Rodgers? Is it continuing to make them look desperate? If Rodgers doesn't show up, does it make them look dumber than if he does and they stink? Some BIG college football news – the college football playoff will now give a bye to the 4 best teams, regardless of conference. What does that mean for Penn State? There was also a ranking of college football coaches. Where did James Franklin, Pat Narduzzi and Rich Rodriguez land? KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. For Bob calling us late, Poni punished him by doing a special edition of Power Rankings. The list was ‘people, dead or alive, Bob would want to have dinner with.'

In 10 years with Pat Narduzzi as head coach, Pitt's quarterback position has been a mixed bag, ranging from the success of Kenny Pickett in 2021 to something quite a bit less than success in other years. On today's Morning Pitt, we're looking at the history of quarterbacks under Narduzzi.

University of Pittsburgh Panthers Head Coach Pat Narduzzi joins Larry Bluestein to talk about what they're doing at the university, why there different and what type of player they look for

What are the chances that Pat Narduzzi leads Pitt to the playoffs? And can the Panthers' run game improve in 2025? Answers to those questions and more in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag.

Which Panthers are most likely to be selected this weekend? Is Konata Mumpfield a potential mid-round sleeper pick at wide receiver like Bub Means was a season ago? Will the 6-foot-6 Pitt captain Branson Taylor find a place on an NFL offensive line? Will Ben Sauls get the chance to prove himself as a kicker at the game's highest level? Will local product Donovan McMillon fulfill his NFL dreams? And what does this year's draft so about the overall state of Pat Narduzzi's program? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Pat Narduzzi put out a statement thanking Jerry DiPaola for all he did covering the team. Jerry asked questions we all want to know, in his own way. Jerry respects everyone and is respected by all. He'll join the spring game broadcast. Cade Bell thinks Pitt's offense will take a major step.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Jeff Hathhorn: The Masters began this week and Jeff thinks Rory McElroy will finally win. Jeff thinks T.J. Watt's agent might be suggesting to Watt to make a cryptic post to stir the pot and make the Steelers aware he is not happy. Pat Narduzzi put out a statement thanking Jerry DiPaola for all he did covering the team. Jerry asked questions we all want to know, in his own way.

In 10 years of Pat Narduzzi football at Pitt, what have been the three best positions? On Today's Morning Pitt, we're breaking down the top three, looking at some honorable mentions and considering how this year's team stacks up.

Jerry DiPaola of the TRIB joined the show from the Baseball Card Castle. Jerry bought his relative a birthday gift. 2025 is a big year for Pat Narduzzi and Pitt brought back many of their star defensive players. The game against Notre Dame and at West Virginia will be interesting. Eli Hostein said he thinks people at WVU might throw batteries at him

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Jared Jones has elbow discomfort and it emphasizes how short of a time the Pirates may have for these pitchers and they need to take advantage of this window of great starting pitchers. Joe is concerned about this. Jerry DiPaola of the TRIB joined the show from the Baseball Card Castle. Jerry bought his relative a birthday gift. 2025 is a big year for Pat Narduzzi and Pitt brought back many of their star defensive players.

This was the right time for him to return and if there was going to be a change from Jacksonville State, this was it. He thinks they are in a great position with NIL to have success but will have only one returning starter. Rich Rod spoke about Pitt and more. His relationship with Pat Narduzzi, for a rival, is friendlier than it should be! Rich said 13-9 "was the worst night of my professional career, by far."

On their weekly Pitt mailbag video, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them: Do Jeff Capel and the Panthers have a future with star guard Jaland Lowe? Or is he bound to go pro or transfer away? Could twins Guillermo and Jorge Diaz Graham bulk up more heading into next season to help remedy some of the Panthers' rebounding woes? And looking forward to football season, which returning players could be poised for a breakout season for Pat Narduzzi? Our duo answers those questions and more.

New Pitt AD Allen Greene is in a difficult spot with Pat Narduzzi and Jeff Capel signed through 2030. This is a financial dilemma for Pitt where there is a risk some donors might not want to pay for the quality of play under the two coaches.

Chris doesn't see Pitt moving off Pat Narduzzi or Jeff Capel for at least two more seasons because of financial implications and this will require much more fundraising. There is some frustration around the basketball program after a hot start but falling apart and not going to make the NCAA Tournament. Chris would not trade a first-round pick for Stafford and the process in the draft should be the front 7.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Chris Carter doesn't see Pitt moving off Pat Narduzzi or Jeff Capel for at least two more seasons because of financial implications and this will require much more fundraising. The Pirates signed Andrew Heaney to a one-year deal to be in the starting rotation. Does this mean the Pirates could trade a young starter to enhance the offense??

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Andrew Destin doesn't think signing Andrew Heaney means the Pirates will trade a starting pitcher. Andrew thinks it's between Henry Davis and Jason Delay for the backup catcher job. New Pitt AD Allen Greene is in a difficult spot with Pat Narduzzi and Jeff Capel signed through 2030.

On his weekly Saturday Conversations podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey welcomes Acrisure Stadium public address announcer Larry Richert to get his take on the team's offseason and a range of other topics. Will Larry be announcing the name of Russell Wison or Justin Fields at QB this coming season? What does he think of offseason angst over things like Mike Tomlin's future, NFL free agency and the NFL draft? And what is it like being the above it all on game days? Later, our duo discusses the future of Pitt football under coach Pat Narduzzi with key pieces including Desmond Reid and Eli Holstein returning in 2025; Larry's career in TV and radio at KDKA; and his fondness for Pirates spring training in Bradenton, Fla.

Who is going to play first base? Pitt basketball has lost 8/10 games. Chris Carter of the Post-Gazette believes financially it's not feasible for Pitt to buy out Pat Narduzzi and/or Jeff Capel until the end of the 2027 season. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show for Starkey's Card of the Week.

Jerry thinks Pat Narduzzi probably has less rope than Jeff Capel with Capel's extension not kicking in yet. It's a difficult road financially for Pitt. What do they need to do?

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Jerry thinks Pat Narduzzi probably has less rope than Jeff Capel with Capel's extension not kicking in yet. Jerry would not move on from Capel and thinks they can still make some damage down the stretch. Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Arthur Smith did not allow Russell Wilson to audible at the line of scrimmage and when Wilson did audible late in the season.

On their weekly Pitt basketball mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them: Who deserves the most blame for the recent offensive slump? Coach Jeff Capel? Or a lack of shooting prowess from key offensive pieces like Jaland Lowe, Ishmael Leggett and Zack Austin? Why is forward Cam Corhen playing 35-plus minutes per game despite frequent struggles? And on the football side, what are reasonable expectations for coach Pat Narduzzi and the Panthers with key pieces including QB Eli Holstein and RB Desmond Reid set to return?

On their weekly Pitt sports mailbag video, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them: Is Panthers standout Damian Dunn healthy enough to play Tuesday night vs. Duke? And do coach Jeff Capel, star Jaland Lowe and the squad have a chance to upset Cooper Flagg and the Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium? And on the football side, they ponder what transfer portal additions including Joey Zelinsky (Eastern Michigan), Andy Jean (Florida), Jayden Bonsu (Ohio State) and Blaine Spires (Utah State) could mean for coach Pat Narduzzi's program.

Happy New Year! It's been a minute, we've got a big show for everyone. We're recapping the bowl game, transfer portal adds and departures (through 1/6), volleyball's fourth straight final four loss, and a very exciting basketball team with a dance in Cameron Indoor for ACC supremacy.

On their weekly Pitt sports mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them: Is football coach Pat Narduzzi winning the overall transfer portal battle after retaining the likes of Eli Holstein and Kyle Louis but losing players like Sincere Edwards and Ryland Gandy? Would our opinion of the season have been any different if the Panthers had won the GameAbove Sports Bowl vs. Toledo? When will the men's basketball team see guard Damian Dunn back on the court after he's missed the last month with an injury? And what is the biggest thing Jeff Capel's team needs to improve as it heads into ACC play? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey previews the Fiesta Bowl between Penn State and Boise State with a spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals on the line. Is Nittany Lions coach James Franklin right about the state of the sport and his call for Alabama Crimson Tide legend Nick Saban to be commissioner? Does Penn State's old-school approach of relying on home-grown talent like Drew Allar, Tyler Warren, Abdul Carter, Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen make it an easy program to root for in this transfer portal era? And what will the Lions need to do to beat Ashton Jeanty and the Broncos? Jason tackles those questions, checks in on former Steelers great WR Hines Ward at Arizona State and wonders if new Pitt AD is asking tough questions about coach Pat Narduzzi after a frustrating bowl loss to Toledo.

Richard Johnson and Alex Kirshner preview the College Football Playoff quarterfinal games in order: * Penn State vs. Boise State, where everyone is skeptical of an upset * Texas vs. Arizona State, where the Sun Devils have a path but it's narrow against a dominant Texas defense * Ohio State vs. Oregon, which looks like CFB's game of the year * Notre Dame vs. Georgia, where SZD picks a narrow upset Plus: Washington State hires a coach, and we've got notes on a big collection of December bowl games, from TCU optimism to Pat Narduzzi's utterly ridiculous field goal decision in the GameAbove Sports Bowl. (Note: That field goal came at the end of the second overtime, making it even worse than Alex said.)

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Christopher Carter break down the Panthers' 48-46 loss to Toledo in Thursday afternoon's GameAbove Sports Bowl, with Stephen reporting from Ford Field in Detroit. What led to the defeat for the Panthers? How did coach Pat Narduzzi and Kade Bell affect the outcome of the contest with some of their late-game coaching decisions and play calls? How did David Lynch perform in the place of the injured Eli Holstein? What made true freshman Julian Dugger so successful in his time on the field? Did Desmond Reid put a bow on his fantastic season? And where do the Panthers go from here? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

Steve opens the show with some talk about the Bowl games: Pat Narduzzi's lack of aggression; the entertainment value of the bowl games and the horrid Thursday Nigh game; we talk some PSU hoops and Ashton Jeanty; then on3.com Nate Bauer joins us to talk the Fiesta Bowl, a little hoops.

Hour 3: Austin and Mark debate who will be the Steelers' scapegoat this season. How much pressure should Pat Narduzzi be under right now? Donald Trump almost bought the Bills in 2014. And Dom thinks Netflix is going to get a Super Bowl in the next 20 years.

On their weekly Pitt football mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them: Is RB Desmond Reid's return a good sign for coach Pat Narduzzi and OC Kade Bell as NCAA transfer portal season gets into full swing? Will others including Eli Holstein and Kyle Louis stay put as well? And what are the guys' picks for the College Football Playoff this weekend? Our duo tackles those topics and more on the basketball front. Should coach Jeff Capel give Brandin Cummings a spot in the starting lineup? And how much longer will he allow Guillermo Diaz Graham to struggle?

On their weekly Pitt football podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them. Are transfers including Nate Yarnell, Nahki Johnson and Daejon Reynolds major losses for the program? Does coach Pat Narduzzi need to take more accountability for the state of his offensive line? Is there any upside to facing Toledo in the GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit? What's going on with backup QBs David Lynch and Ty Dieffenbach? And were Jeff Capel, Jaland Lowe, Ishmael Leggett and the men's basketball team unfairly dropped from the AP top 25 poll this week?

The Panthers' head coach joins us to preview the GameAbove Sports Bowl against Toledo

6:00 HOUR: Cossa wins his NHL debut, we talk to Pat Narduzzi

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news. Is the Steelers' decision to trade WR Diontae Johnson for CB Donte Jackson looking good, now that coach John Harbaugh's cryptic comments about him cast doubt on his future with the AFC North rival Ravens? How should the Steelers be feeling about the guys who've replaced Johnson behind George Pickens, including Calvin Austin III and Van Jefferson? And what will it take for the Russell Wilson and the team Steelers to beat Lamar Jackson and Co. in the division race now that they have a 1.5-game lead, following the Ravens' loss this week vs. Philadelphia? Paul tackles those topics, plus Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi calling his team's 7-5 season a "success" despite a five-game losing streak that spoiled a 7-0 start.

On their weekly Pitt spots mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them: Will the ACC's relative weakness in the non-conference slate hurt Jeff Capel's men's basketball team in its bid to vindicate last season's March Madness snub? Or will wins against Ohio State and West Virginia be plenty to get them over the top at their current pace? And how is the competition between Amsal Delalic and Zach Austin shaping up after Austin's five 3-pointers and game-winning shot against the Buckeyes over the weekend? On the football side, what should we make of coach Pat Narduzzi calling his team's 7-5 record a success, especially after a five-game losing streak to finish the regular season? And what are Pitt's biggest needs as the football transfer portal opens, with CB Noah Biglow, DT Nahki Johnson and OL Terrence Moore having already entered it?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news, including the Steelers' NFL Week 13 victory against the Bengals in Cincinnati. What should we make a big day offensively from names including Russell Wilson, George Pickens, Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth? Should there be concern about the defense -- particularly the oft-flagged Joey Porter Jr. -- despite some key turnovers forced by T.J. Watt, Nick Herbig, Payton Wilson and Donte Jackson? And which AFC opponent should coach Mike Tomlin's team most fear in the playoffs? Patrick Mahomes and the defending champion Chiefs? Or MVP favorite Josh Allen and the Bills? Paul tackles those questions, then reacts to a busy week of college football. Can Penn State really win the Big Ten title Saturday against Oregon after clinching a berth by virtue of Ohio State's upset loss to Michigan? What should we make of the brawl between the Buckeyes and Wolverines and several other teams around the sport? And where do Pitt and coach Pat Narduzzi go from here after losing their last five games of the season?

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Christopher Carter break down the Panthers' 34-23 season-finale loss to Boston College on Saturday afternoon, with Stephen reporting from Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass. It's time for a postmortem — what all went wrong in the Panthers' season-ending five-game losing streak? What areas does Pat Narduzzi need to shore up heading into next season? How did Narduzzi's postgame comments miss the mark? How can Pitt fix its offensive line depth problems that have plagued it for multiple seasons now? What will this team look like next year? And what kind of bowl game appearance should the Panthers be expecting? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

In this week's Mailbag, we're taking questions on Pitt's targets in the transfer portal, whether Pat Narduzzi's seat is heating up, what the Panthers' defense looks like in 2025 and a lot more. Note: This episode was recorded prior to Nahki Johnson's announcement that he plans to enter the transfer portal, so comments made here do not reflect that news.

On their weekly Pitt football mailbag video, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Stephen Thompson answer reader questions. Among them: Did coach Pat Narduzzi leave the door open to Eli Holstein returning from injury in 2024? Either for the regular season finale this week against Boston College or the Panthers' bowl game? What is RB Rodney Hammond's future with the program? And on the basketball side, who does coach Jeff Capel need to step up amid the injury to Damian Dunn with a big game against Ohio State looming?

On today's episode of The College Football Enquirer, Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde talk about two vastly different NIL approaches between Pitt and Bryce Underwood's recruitment. They break down a recent piece by Dellenger about Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi saying he pulled back on NIL funds to players. They then juxtapose that with the massive amounts of money being thrown at top 2025 recruit Bryce Underwood to potentially play at Michigan.Additionally, they react to recent news from the College Football Playoff committee that they will not be avoiding rematches during their seeding process. They also share the results of the Iowa water tasting contest, more pizza problems, and Race for the Case.(0:39) College Football Playoff rematches(19:30) Pitt's NIL strategy(29:36) Bryce Underwood's recruitment(41:47) Intriguing Games of Week 10(47:42) Ames water and another pizza story(53:21) Race for the CaseSubscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:
