Podcast appearances and mentions of Pat Narduzzi

Pat Narduzzi held his first press conference of the season on Monday, and today we're breaking it down. From the defensive end depth to the biggest question he's hoping to get answered in the season opener, we've got five notable things Narduzzi said at his weekly press conference.

Over the weekend, former Pitt receiver Raphael Williams accused Pat Narduzzi of attacking his character with NFL scouts. What actually happens when NFL scouts come to the South Side? We've got just the person to ask: former Pitt assistant director of player personnel Karlo. Zovko, who tells us about the scouting process, what the coaches tell scouts and a lot more - like what he makes of the hype surrounding Mason Heintschel. All that and more on the Wednesday edition of the Morning Pitt.

The hype keeps climbing for Pitt's offense, so let's talk about where the Panthers are with just a few days left in training camp. How high is the ceiling for this offense? How do the position groups compare to previous years at Pitt? And can this be one of the best offenses of the Pat Narduzzi era? We're covering those questions and more on the Tuesday edition of the Morning Pitt.

Defensive Line Starts at 0:54 The defense is older and more experienced overall compared to the offense, but there are some holes to fill. John Henry Daley transfers from Utah and claims to be ready to go. Aidan Hutchinson as his ceiling might be tough coming off of an injury, but Aidan Hutchinson's 2021 season was also coming off of an injury. There's also a version of JHD where he's not all the way back and is only pretty good. The other starter is either Cam Brandt or Dom Nichols. We're not hearing a lot about Nate Marshall. Benny Patterson, on the other hand, could be a guy that's coming on. A lot of the defensive ends have some experience and are just waiting for their turn. Defensive tackle is not as deep, has some question marks, and doesn't have an established star. Trey Pierce could be solid. Enow Etta has a chance of taking a big step forward. By the end of the season he was the one still standing up against Ohio State. Seth is not high on Jonah Lea'ea. Palepale is probably the 3rd defensive tackle, he's a big dude. Don't give up on defensive tackles. Everyone wants Alister Vallejo to be the high riser, the Mason Graham comparisons are out there. Bobby Kanka flashed in the spring game. Defensive tackle seems like a not great situation overall - there are a couple guys who are serviceable to good and then a lot of questions marks. You always need at least four.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Linebackers Starts at 33:40 The group that is probably the most uncertain, more-so than defensive tackle. They had a first and second team of linebackers that have left after last season. We get to see Cole Sullivan again this year after he transferred to Oklahoma. Nate Staehling is the guy we're most excited about, the transfer from North Dakota State. It would be so lovely if he was a generic Iowa linebacker! He has the ability to take on a lead block. The other portal takes are much less inspiring. Troy Bowles, Chase Taylor, and Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng are the other major contributors. A lot of them look like safeties. Chase Taylor has high shoulder pads! Staehling probably starts with Bowles? After these three it drops off pretty quickly. The recruiting class has three guys that all ranked in flyer territory. Nobody in the program is complaining about defensive tackle, but there are a lot of concerns about linebackers. Keep the top guys mostly healthy and you've got a shot, though. 3. Hot Takes and Secondary Starts at 53:56 Takes hotter than that other week this summer that wasn't even Art Fair but it was like 100 billion degrees and Brian was sitting outside watching his kids play tennis badly. This is a surprisingly veteran group! Not a lot of questions at cornerback, your starters are Jyaire Hill, Zeke Berry, and they import Smith Snowden from Utah. Jyaire Hill has first round upside and this year should be a star. Zeke Berry is at least solid but is he better than that? Could Shamari Earls start over Zeke by the end of the season? The other cornerbacks are Jo'Ziah Edmond, I'Marion Stewart, and Jamarion Vincent. Vincent is a freshman and Stewart is a flip from wide receiver; they're not generating a lot of buzz. Seth is ridiculously high on Smith Snowden at nickel. At safety - is Rod Moore going to be healthy? He says he's healthy but he's on a pitch count. If he's healthy and he's Rod Moore he's one of the best safeties in the country, but he might not be Rod Moore. Chris Bracy transfers in from Memphis and is one of the best transfers in the country. He's a huge asset in stopping the run. Too bad he's not big enough to play linebacker. Mason Curtis got a lot of experience last year and is the 3rd safety, he'll get a lot of opportunities this year. Jordan Young has some upside despite inexplicable snaps last season.  4. Special Teams and Overall Thoughts Starts at 1:28:04 This defense feels like it's going to be pretty decent but there are a lot of questions. If you get the ceiling of a lot of guys on the edge and maybe Staehling then they could be really good. But the middle of the field and the backup defensive tackles are shaky. Will it be fine and are we just spoiled as Michigan fans? There are a lot of guys that will be big pieces on the defense in two or three years and they're on the roster right now. The secondary will be especially exciting if Rod Moore is back, but could weird teams like Iowa take advantage of what Michigan's missing? Also, Michigan has a college defensive coordinator and not Wink Martindale. Michigan imported Trey Butkowski (kicker) and Cam Brown (Aussie punter). Pat Narduzzi was really mad that he lost his kicker so he must be really good. He's not Moody or Zvada but he makes a lot of kicks. The 25 yard line is probably field goal range now, rather than the 35, Justin Turner is your likely comparison. Cam Brown's an odd one. He's a Hudson Hollenbeck comparison but kicks it a little further. Michigan's long snapper, Gavin Magorien, is the only Michigan player on the Freaks List this year. Who do you want returning kickoffs, Moa? And Andrew Marsh on punts?  MUSIC: "Take It"—Donnie and Joe Emerson "Rabbits"—Thomas Dollbaum "Dog Bite"—Mickey Leao “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said there have been conversations with Penn State about renewing their rivalry. Joe and Austin think this has to happen. Narduzzi said it wouldn't be for seven to eight years. JD in Baldwin thinks Pitt-Penn State should play in Pittsburgh, State College, and Philadelphia. 

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said there have been conversations with Penn State about renewing their rivalry. Joe and Austin think this has to happen. Narduzzi said it wouldn't be for seven to eight years. Pitt and Penn State fans both want the rivalry to happen. Should Josh Shapiro force the teams to play?

Starkey's singing has rubbed off on Bob. What does IMax's injury mean? Who is the best non-QB in the NFL? Joe - Myles Garrett; Bob - Justin Jefferson; Sean - Jaxson Smith-Njigba. Who is the best QB in the NFL? Is Brock Purdy overrated or underrated? Aaron Rodgers is #19. Pat Narduzzi joins to discuss the expectations, the Panthers' use of the transfer portal, what he'd change about CFB, facing James Franklin and Bill Belichick, Pitt's rivalry games and if Pitt vs Penn State could return, Mason Heintschel and the talent around him, and Larry Fitzgerald to the HOF.

Pat Narduzzi officially opened training camp on Wednesday, and after practice, he spoke to the media. On today's Morning Pitt, we're looking at five of the most notable things Narduzzi said - from the receivers to the offensive line to legal issues and more.

Whose Pitt all-stars would win: Pat Narduzzi or Dave Wannstedt? Which freshmen could be sleepers and get a lot of hype early in training camp? Will Kade Bell's offense evolve in Year Three? And could Pitt end up with some first-team all-conference players? We're answering those questions and more in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag.

In this college football podcast episode, we briefly step out of preview mode for a college football news reset. While we were working through the ACC and Big 12, the rest of the sport kept moving, beginning with another strange development at North Carolina. We discuss Mike Lombardi’s reported leave of absence, what it adds to the growing collection of Bill Belichick-era drama in Chapel Hill, and why Tar Heels fans did not exactly greet the news with despair. Then we dig through the most memorable moments from SEC, ACC and Big 12 Media Days. Lane Kiffin contemplates mortality, Jon Sumrall brings an unmistakable level of intensity to Florida, Pat Narduzzi makes another bold conference comparison, and several SEC coaches begin building the case for nine-win College Football Playoff teams. We also consider Greg Sankey’s acknowledgment that conversations about an SEC and Big Ten breakaway are real, even if nobody is quite ready to explain where those conversations might lead. Finally, with fall camps opening around the country, we look at the quarterback competitions worth tracking. What could a freshman starter mean for Tennessee? Is Alabama’s apparent favorite ready to take control? Which uncertain situations at Arkansas, Iowa and elsewhere could reshape an entire season? We also ask how many of these competitions are truly open and how many are exercises in keeping quarterbacks engaged during the transfer portal era.

What are the best wins of the Pat Narduzzi era at Pitt? After counting down Nos. 10-6 on Wednesday, we're moving onto the top five. From a pair of wins over the Panthers' oldest rivals to some huge victories on the biggest stages, these five wins are some of the best in Pitt history. All that and more on the Thursday edition of the Morning Pitt.

It's time for another countdown, and we're ranking the top wins of the Pat Narduzzi era at Pitt. We've got it down to a top 10, and on today's Morning Pitt, we're rolling out Nos. 10-6. What makes a big win? And what are the some of the biggest wins the Panthers have pulled off since Narduzzi became head coach in 2015? We're looking at the first five today.

How does Kade Bell stack up against the last 20 years of Pitt offensive coordinators? Which freshman will play the most in 2026? And which former Pat Narduzzi players would help this year's Panthers the most? Answers to those questions and more in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag.

Historically, Pitt's defense has been pretty good and reliable under Pat Narduzzi (we think). So what do we expect out of the Panthers in 2026? Let's look at the defense from front to back and everywhere in between with a full breakdown on today's Morning Pitt.

Hour 3: Pat Narduzzi had high praise for Brendan Sorsby this week, and Poni wonders what that means. Steve Palazzolo joins the show to talk about the Steelers possibly drafting Sorsby. And Dom takes over the Debrief to talk about the World Cup and its "sexiest fan".

They guys are concerned with Callas' breakfast order this morning. Pat Narduzzi joins the show to give a couple huge Pitt incentives for the Five-Alarm today! And is Crowley a closet Pitt fan?

The Carolina's Own crew continues its ACC football preview series with an in-depth look at the Pitt Panthers. The conversation begins with Pat Narduzzi's eleven-year tenure and the consistency he has brought to Pittsburgh, including an ACC Championship and a reputation for fielding some of the nation's toughest defenses. The guys examine Pitt's elite run defense, linebacker play, and the challenges the Panthers face generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks. On offense, the discussion centers around quarterback Mason Heintschel and his impressive freshman campaign. Ronnie, D-Block, and JD analyze whether Heintschel can take the next step in 2026, despite concerns about an offensive line that surrendered 44 sacks last season. The crew also evaluates Pitt's rushing attack, receiver room, and overall offensive ceiling heading into the season. The conversation expands into a broader discussion about modern college football, including NIL, transfer portal rules, roster building, player development, and whether college football should move toward multi-year player contracts. The hosts debate how today's environment compares to their own playing careers and what changes could improve the sport. The crew then makes game-by-game predictions for Pitt's 2026 schedule, debating whether the Panthers will finish above or below their projected win total. Finally, the show wraps up with a discussion about the recent gambling controversy involving Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, the challenges facing young athletes in today's environment, and how professional sports continue to handle gambling-related issues.

If they had to be honest, what would you ask Jeff Capel and Pat Narduzzi? If you could build a conference, who would be the ideal teams to join Pitt? If you could pick an all-conference performer, which player would help the football Panthers the most this season? Answers to those questions and more in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag.

The first over/under win totals are out for the 2026 college football season, and the number for Pitt is 7.5. Do you like the over on that? Or do you think the Panthers are headed for seven wins or less? We're looking at that number, how it compares to the rest of the ACC, how Pat Narduzzi has done against the win totals over the years and a lot more on today's Morning Pitt.

What does Pat Narduzzi's coaching tree look like? How much of Pitt's basketball roster can be salvaged? Do the Panthers have more four-star recruits than usual? And who was the best center of the Jeff Capel era at Pitt? Answers to those questions and more in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag.

"I truly believe through the portal that we've got a better football team right now than we had last year." That's what Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said during his first press conference of spring camp on Monday, so for today's Morning Pitt, we're asking a simple question: Is he right? Let's take a look at the Panthers' 2026 roster and compare it to last year.
