Pat Narduzzi-Pittsburgh
Pat Narduzzi became a head coach at Pittsburgh in the 2015 season. He’s compiled an overall record of 62-41 and gone 41-25 in the weaker ACC Coastal.
He’s finished first in the ACC Coastal twice and finally broke through for his first ACC Championship in 2021 with a win over Clemson.
Narduzzi has won eight or more games in five of his eight seasons as a head coach at a place that’s not easy to recruit talent to.
Pittsburgh had some questionable losses last year in their first year with NFL QB Kenny Pickett.
The ACC going away from divisions will pose another challenge for Narduzzi to overcome in future seasons. However, based on what he’s accomplished thus far, I think it’s fair to place in at No. 2.
