COACHING STAFF COACHING STAFF PAT NARDUZZI HEAD COACH

Family and football are Pat Narduzzi’s life passions. The two have long been interwoven for Pitt’s head coach. Narduzzi’s wife, Donna, and their four children are a familiar sight in the Pitt football offices and at university events. This mirrors his own boyhood when he was a constant shadow for his father, longtime football coach Bill Narduzzi, in locker rooms and on the . Those early experiences with his dad planted the seed for Narduzzi’s coaching career. Moreover, it provided a vivid example of how he would one day handle a team of his own— like they were his own family. “Coach Narduzzi always has an open door for us,” says junior offensive lineman Brian O’Neill. “That’s well known throughout our team. If we need to talk, he’s there. It’s great to have a head coach you feel comfortable talking to about anything. It doesn’t have to be about football.” PERSONAL INFORMATION Like a team made up of blood brothers, the Panthers have played the past two seasons with a passionate style that reflects their coach. Narduzzi has provided the fire for a program that, BORN: April 22, 1966 prior to his arrival, was frozen in a stretch of middling results. HOMETOWN: Youngstown, Ohio “Coach is real energetic, real hands on,” said James Conner, who concluded his Pitt career as ALMA MATER: Rhode Island, 1990 the ACC’s all-time touchdowns leader and was a Pittsburgh Steelers draft pick. “Sometimes I think he’s going to jump in the drills. He’s just a real hands-on, real focused guy. He’s the FAMILY: Narduzzi and his wife, Donna, man for the job for us.” have four children: Arianna, Christina, Patrick and Isabella. Narduzzi has directed Pitt to eight regular-season wins in each of his first two years, something the Panthers had not achieved since 2008-09. Narduzzi owns a 16-10 overall mark and 11-5 COLLEGIATE PLAYING ACC record. The last Pitt coach to achieve as many victories in his first two years was the late EXPERIENCE Serafino “Foge” Fazio, who went 17-6-1 over his initial two seasons in 1982–83. In ACC annals, Narduzzi is only the fifth man to begin his head coaching career with at least RHODE ISLAND, three-year starter at eight wins in each of his first two seasons. The others are Charley Pell of Clemson (1977–78), linebacker (1987-89). of Maryland (2001–02), Jeff Jagodzinski of Boston College (2007–08) and YOUNGSTOWN STATE, starter at of Florida State (2010–11). linebacker (1985). Under Narduzzi’s direction, Pitt is seizing attention across the country as a rising contender in the ACC, a conference widely hailed as college football’s finest last season. In 2016, COLLEGIATE COACHING Pitt was the only school to have wins over two teams that finished in the top 5 of the final EXPERIENCE rankings. The Panthers gave No. 2 Clemson—the eventual national champion—its only loss (43-42) and essentially kept No. 5 Penn State out of the playoff field MIAMI (OHIO), 1990-91, graduate by defeating the Nittany Lions, 42-39. assistant; 1992, wide receivers.
