Pitt is 5th in the ACC in rushing defense

[SmilinBob]

You use your resources the best way you can and that is what coaching is all about.

 

[orangenauburn]

Lol the TE run directly up the middle and then not having anyone to account for it was truly hilarious

They tried but #30 for Pitt was too busy getting stiff armed or trying to gouge our eyes instead of spying his man

 

[Millhouse]

That’s what everyone says our ceiling is.

Who says that?
I know you're upset but don't lie

Just because people like me think he won't get fired doesn't mean we think that's the ceiling

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

For all you brilliant analysts downgrading what we did against this horrible team. They couldn’t stop us even when they knew what was coming.

Making adjustments in-game would seem less effective than a week of game planning.

We all know the roof is the ceiling.

 

[Millhouse]

I wonder if Pitt got worked over so hard by ND and FSU that they are shot

I'm not trying to take anything away from us because even if they were , I'm still impressed with what Syracuse did.

I'm just bringing it up because the gauntlets do take a toll

I guess you haven’t been reading the same board I have. Multiple posters have said that 6-6, 7-5, with the occasional 9-3 season is what we aspire to. And no, I’m not going to dig up these posts. There are many of them.

He probably won’t get fired if he makes a bowl game. It’s how Syrcause works. His whole body of work argues otherwise. The in game decisions, recruiting, ACC record, etc. Enough. What is going to change?

 

[qdawgg]

These 2 things can be true…

Pitt is awful.

It’s great that we beat them.

I agree with that completely.

In your emotional state you're interpreting that as a ceiling of 6-6 ,7-5

Count to ten and keep reading

Are you ready now?

Those people are saying 9-3 is the ceiling

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

It’s about injuries

That's certainly part of it. But just one part.

Awesome. I’m all in

seeing that we have had one 9 win season in 20 years that’s probably pretty decent area to call the ceiling

My favorite message boarding is when people use a term (such as “ceiling”), don’t define that term, then tear each other to shreds about how we differ on our interpretation of the term we didn’t define.

It’s exhilarating.

They got mentally worked over by their meathead coach publicly calling them bad players.

"6-6,7-5 with the occasional 9-3"

You don't need a definition to know that 9 would the ceiling and not 6 or 7

All these words you haven't defined
What do nine and twenty even mean, really

 

[upperdeck]

you can run most of what we did yesterday with a qb that can pass and be effective as well. and if the TE can throw a little it makes it even harder to defend as you can see watching new orleans.

There’s a bit of a difference to say your ceiling is 9 wins over a 5 year span than to say it’s 9 wins over a 20 year span.

 

[All4SU]

I suppose I got what I wanted. Beck continuing to run a play that was working.

Truly funny to watch that from Pitt. One of the worst defensive performances I’ve ever seen. Did Narduzzi throw out some Dinoisms in his presser. Took us by surprise, no film, didn’t plan for it etc.

What would you pay to see what Narduzzi was writing in that little notebook. Man, I would love if someone could find that book and leak it.

Some possible notes he was writing:

1) Must stop run
2) Reminder: look up to see if backflips are legal
3) Does pineapple belong on pizza?

Re: your title.

It's even more different to pretend like anyone ever said six or seven is the ceiling

 

[tep624]

No but they certainly said 5-7 is the median and maybe that’s what you two are arguing about. Semantics.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Makes you wonder if the triple option, with the right talent, is sustainable in the ACC.

Win 4 OOC games, and a minimum of two conference games, probably more. Never get blown out because you’d be controlling the clock. Sign me up.

it worked for Paul Johnson and Georgia Tech for a long time

 

[Scooch]

"6-6,7-5 with the occasional 9-3"

You don't need a definition to know that 9 would the ceiling and not 6 or 7

You think everything is about you.

*edit* The point is what that 9 even means. Once a decade?

Honestly the whole debate has kinda become tedious. Dino is a lousy coach. If anyone wants to debate that they should feel free. But the evidence is pretty compelling.

5 wins, 6 wins, 9 wins every time Haley’s Comet passes by. Whatever. I’d prefer they take a shot on someone else.
