From Paul Zeise’s Q&A on page C-2 in today’s Post-Gazette…
Q: I actually don’t mind Dave Wannstedt going for the win [vs. Navy]…but a fade to the tight end? Why not to a wide receiver or just run LeSean McCoy?
A: It was refreshing that Dave Wannstedt went against his nature — he even admitted he wasn’t comfortable going for it on fourth down — and went for the win. But you are right, the last two play calls were, well, like a closer giving up a game winning home run because he threw his fourth-best pitch instead of bringing the heat.
The more I think about those last two play calls, the more my anger level rises.
All of you Wanny lovers, keep sipping the Kool-Aid!
“Wannstedt, however, insists he has not felt any pressure from the school’s administration or key boosters. In fact, he met with chancellor Mark Nordenberg last week about the future and he did again Tuesday before the team’s walk-through practice for the Navy game.
Wannstedt also addressed the issue of him becoming the athletic director and said he has not spoken to the chancellor about it because he has been focused on football.”
I found it very interesting when asked about the AD position, DW says he hasnt asked the chancellor about it…sort of implying that I was thinking about it but havent asked the boss yet. It seems to me that the coach would normally say No, Im not interested.
a. What happened to Pitt football? Sheesh.
Not the national exposure we were looking for.
