Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3445620, member: 652"] Pitt had to beat USF and if they lost then we could have made the Fiesta Bowl. However we would have lost by more than we lost to Georgia Tech if we played undefeated Utah and Urban Meyer/Alex Smith. We were underdogs to BC and that was Matt Ryan we beat. He couldn’t handle the blitzes we kept sending. That season we had a lot of wins we left on the table. Should have been better than 6-5. That was part of the reason P got fired. P paid the bills for Crouthamel and Buzz being fiscally prudent. They didn’t invest in the football program and let the wear and tears bring the program down. Gross spent to repair the program but hired a painter to lead the program when they needed an architect. We did the same thing when we replaced Marrone with Scott Shafer. We were average when P left. Robinson cratered the program. Marrone brought back it back to average. Shafer cratered it again. Babers is bringing us back to average. [/QUOTE]
