Draft profiles are starting to show-up. Pitt has 4 players likely to have their names called on draft days: Jeff Otah, Darrell Strong, Joe Clermond and Mike McGlynn.
While I was happy that Paul Dunn was asked to pursue other options by Coach Wannstedt, I don’t wish him ill. Dunn, afterall, is an alum. So, it’s good to see he landed a job with the Atlanta Falcons as an assistant O-line coach.

Is there any update on the Defensive Coordinator position? I haven’t heard anything on this front lately. Does it look like Gatusso will be passed over for an outsider? I’d like to get Sunseri to add to the NFL experience our program already has. Wannstache might be able to sell the fact that we have so many NFL coaches, we can better prepare players for the NFL than anyone. I’ve heard Sunseri is a great recruiter, does anyone know if that’s true or what it’s based on? Are there any other names popping up?

“Just a few months earlier, however, Strong was forced to perform his weightlifting workouts in a pink jersey, part of Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt’s punishment for a series of very public temper tantrums on Strong’s part, most notably his two-finger salute to South Florida fans and a blowout with a girlfriend at a Pittsburgh mall. He also lost the starting job he had earned as a sophomore.”
