Narduzzi being a ‘duzzi on B1G, loss to MSU

What a tool. Ferentz is maddening at times in his conservative play and comments. But he’s got class, something most other coaches (especially ones in Iowa) don’t have.

He sounds very butt hurt. Btw, Narduzzi is 1-6 against the B1G.

 

[BonzoFury]

He insists the lack of Pickett is why they lost (understandable), but it appears his collapsing defense was the reason. They gave up 21 straight points in the 4th Qtr.

Funny how he talks about no Pickett but ignores the fact sparty didn’t their star rb Kenneth walker III who just won the doak walker in that game either.

He mad cause Pitt getting left out.

Seems more like a douchey than a duzzi.

Just needs 2 more games to challenge for the title...of worst big ten team. Watch out Nebraska

Did not want to use your word in the title and get banned. But yeah.

"If that's one of the best teams in the Big Ten, then what are we talking about here?"

Host:..........Umm, I don't know Pat. What are we talking about here? What are you talking about?

 

[Greenway4Prez]

Hahaha, what a tool.

You see, Pat, your team WAS the conference champion. And got beat. By a team that wasn’t even the champion of its division. Or the runner-up.

So, maybe the Big Ten is actually kinda good.

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

Good God, what an embarrassment he is. He's supposed to be a leader and role model for college-aged kids, and he is showing the world that you should gripe and create 6th-grade level "what-if" stories whenever something doesn't go your way. I don't know what the hell I would think if I had a son currently in his football program. I'd probably start researching transfer portal rules.

He prefers to externalize his issues.

 

[BubsFinn]

Narduzzi coaches his players to play dirty. Cheap shots, late hits, doing stuff on the bottom of piles, etc. There's a big difference between playing hard and taking cheap shots, and Narduzzi's teams are a prime example.

 

[CUHawkeye91]

This is so funny. Pitt has a winning record against 2 Big teams - Rutgers and Wisconsin - throughout their history. Based on this, I think the Big would live to see Pitt join the conference.

 

[pistachio1999]

He doesn’t even realize how dumb he sounds.

 

[pistachio1999]

Was he butt hurt that he wasn’t interviewed after Dantonio? Sure sounds like someone talking about their Ex.

Tells you all you have to know about narduzzi. Learned and coached under the scumbag Dantonio. He was their DC in 11’ game where they just so happened to have all those “injuries” pop up when Iowa was moving the ball. Plus he along with Dantonio made the decision to suspend starting CB Chris L Rucker one qtr in 10’ after he was in jail for several days that week before Iowa game when they were undefeated.

2015 @ Iowa 24-27 L
2016 PSU 42-39 W
2016 NW (Bowl) 24-31 L
2017 @ PSU 14-33 L
2018 PSU 6-51 L
2019 @ PSU 10-17 L
2021 MSU (Bowl) 21-31 L

He did win against a really good PSU team but O'fer outside of that.

 

[hawktrooper1]

Reading the tea leaves here, wonder if he’s trying to connect Pitt to B1G in hopes of it being a potential landing spot should the ACC eventually dismantle.

This could be giving him waaaay too much credit for strategic foresight though. Good chance these are no more than the childish words of a butthurt coach who’s trying to explain away the fact his team blew that game.

Thank you for doing the homework!

It would be bulletin board material if Pitt were to join. Narduzzi would probably be gone by then, though. 🙂

Strange way to get positive attention for your program and school.

Pitt is an interesting case, P5 school, major city (metro a little smaller than the Twin Cities), they rank well academically compared to the rest of the B1G. But...they really bring no TV sets or $$ to the table. Geographically they're smack dab between tOSU and Penn St and their fan base is smaller than both of those. Sounds a bit like a school to our NWest that wears ketchup and mustard (with out the major city angle).

Plus lost to Western Michigan, this past year, with Pickett at QB...I guess he thinks the B10 is easier than the MAC?

I hate that, "if things had been different, we would have won," shit. "Damn it! If we had scored more points in the game, we would have won. That PROVES we're better!" lol! You only hear that crap from losers.

Total and complete tool. Have fun doing great in the ACC which no one cares about. So what if they beat Michigan State with Pickett? Are we supposed to be impressed. Anyone with half a brain knows MSU got fortunate to win a lot of games last year, including Pitt. But Sparty wasn't the best team in the league.

Hey Pat, Koehn's FG to end the game is still going through the uprights every time I watch that replay.

 

[JStandefer]

He mad cause Pitt getting left out.

Or wants the SEC to look toward Pennsylvania as a market

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

The Pennsylvania little brother syndrome is getting to him apparently. Poor Narboozy, LOL!

Hmmmmm, sounds a bit like the program he formerly coached at.

He better investigate getting into Big 12.

Yet, if MSU had given him the call when Dantonio "retired"...he'd have left skid marks on his way out of Pittsburgh.

Now that there is comedy gold! 🤣
