Pitt Names New Football Coach

Pat Narduzzi is out as the new name for Pitt's football coach. Starting Friday it's Chris Bickell '97 Head Football Coach Pat Narduzzi see what I did there? Mr. Bickell, a Pitt alum (guess which class), donated $20M to the university's football program creating an endowed chair, like the "Henry Wadsworth Longfellow professor of English literature." Ivy League schools and like that do this all the time. In fact, Harvard, Penn, Yale, Stanford and Rice have endowed professors of pigskin chairs. So fuck you. Bickell is very content to have Professor Narduzzi occupying his chair. “To be honest, Pat Narduzzi’s the man."
