Pittsburgh Panthers head coach Pat Narduzzi got a new job title Thursday. Instead of being the head coach at Pitt football, Narduzzi will now be known as the Chris Bickell '97 Head Football Coach. No, really.

So who's going to start the collection to endow the "Texas A&M Penile Enlargement Pump and Me, by Jimbo Fisher" position and rename "Kids Who Don't Build Good Field"?

[PittsburghTiger 6351]

It's really, really dumb. I'll be in the radio booth tomorrow and I will see if it is referred to that way on air.

The real WTF move at Pitt was the move down to Heinz Field. 

[JFKFC 4978]

I think FAU did something similar. 

[Blotto 24044]

How much would Pitt require in donations for Bickell to be able to call the first 10 plays of the game? How much to sleep with narduzzi's wife? I assume both of those options would be in play and now its just a matter of negotiating the final number.  Good lord Pitt.

Narduzzi’s wife, on the other hand, has a well known market rate of $100.

Lots of schools do that. Most of the Ivies and Notre Dame off the top of my head.

I'll be damned. Had no idea this was a thing.

Quote

Entering his 30th season as a collegiate head coach in 2020 and 11th year at the University of Notre Dame, Dick Corbett Head Football Coach Brian Kelly brings a championship tradition as the school’s 29th head football coach.

If Mr. Corbett had a sense of humor, he would insist they use only his first name.

For 20 million dollars you could call me the Billy Luicci-Jimbo Fischer Texags.Com head football coach of the University of Texas and I'd be good with it.

Don't forget Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw. He ain't even a coach!

I've seen them play several times over the last few years. I think your assessment is spot-on.

You know damn well for that money that any time it’s said or printed it will be the whole thing.

About tree fiddy

I guess it makes sense being that Pitt plays at Heinz field, and he was never gonna replace the Heinz name. Tho he could have maybe also lobbied for helmet stickers, jersey patches, or even his name on the sideline benches. If DeWalt could do it, I don't see why this guy couldn't.

[runthebone 8380]

It's like an endowed chair, I don't see what the big deal is.  You think Texas wouldn't do it for the right price?

[HornsOverIthaca 2339]

They should enter the field through the Governor William J. Le Petomane thruway.

"And now, give a big Kyle Field welcome to your Honorary Cheatin' Jackie Sherrill Gold Trans Am We Won 10 Games A Couple of Times We're a Blueblood Head Football Coach, Mr. Jimbooooooo Fisher!!"

So, I met the fellow in the box today. He graduated less than a decade after I. He's a really nice guy and honestly seemed a bit embarrassed by all the attention.

From what I gathered he helped start a company, an IT outfit, that seemed to service Veteran's affairs type things and I heard he recently sold that company for a bunch. Not certain of the amount. 

I did ask him if the donation was to make up for all the damage he did from his freshman year in the dorms.
