If so, and Manny gets a HC job, does JF consider Duzz for DC? What would be the reaction to that?
Does Duzz get the axe this week?
- Thread starter Thus Spoke Mainer
- Start date
Duzz is not getting fired. It a non starter. He still has 7 years left on his contract and Pitt simply can not afford to buy that out.
Duzz is similar to JF in that their respective buyouts are way more than either university is going to pay, so they both stay. No oil rich crazies like at A&M.
Pitt is happy to have a coach that isn't looking to leave after 2 seasons. It's gonna take a lot worse for the axe to fall.
NO! NO! NO! Duzz might be decent as a DC for X's and O's. However, he is a toxic recruiter and his presence would result in us losing recruits. We don't want Duzz at Penn State.
True. Plus DC at Penn State is a better job than head coach at pitt.
Many Pitt fans are afraid that the DUZZ will be going to MSU. The only fan base more afraid about that then them are MSU fans.
As much as we love to crap on Duzz, wouldn’t he be the perfect marriage for Franklin? One can recruit like hell and run a sexy PR campaign, but can’t scheme how to make a ham sandwich. The other is a grouchy bastard who hates recruiting but is a great X’s and O’s guy.
So you're thinking that his system would be too complex for his consideration as OC?
1.Well he’s on record as saying that he spends virtually all his coaching time with the defense.
2. Thus he puts the offense in control of the OC.
3. The only time he’s had really good teams is when he’s had a good offense. Please refer to item 2 above.
4. Without a decent offense (once again item 2 is controlling) his defense schemes are subject as he loses multiple games in those years.
5. His failure to master 1/2 of the game plan while ignoring the other doesn’t exactly scream a mastery of X’s and O’s.
His teams and his demeanor are undisciplined. Loses a lot of games to inferior competition in the worst division ( I know that is over) in P5 football.
