Terms of Canada’s contract were not disclosed, but he was earning a base salary of $560,000 at North Carolina State on a contract that had two years left. By terms of that contract, if he makes less than that at Pitt, the Wolfpack will have to make up the difference for those two years.
Canada didn’t mince words about what made this job appealing to him, either. He talked about Pitt’s football tradition and the players the Panthers have returning next year, but the deciding factor was the head coach.
“The main attraction for me is Pat Narduzzi, period,” Canada said. “That is the attraction.”
“offense ranked third in the ACC in scoring this season at 33.2 points per game … and its 5,311 total yards were the fourth most in school history”.
STILL surprised by this.. My feelings are if the defense had done their jobs, the offensive #s would have stood up. But what’s done is done.
In the end it is coach D’s show. If he has a an assistant that does not meet his mettle changes should be made. I’m glad Canada found work quickly and I wish him well except when Pitt plays the Pack.
On an un-related but related topic.. “It’s good to be da Commish!”
“ACC Commissioner John Swofford’s [pay] went from $571,000 to more than $2 million (in a ten year span)..” All that extra money came in handy in sweeping all that DIRT under the CHeats’ rug
Wait a minute. “…became something of a scapegoat.”
Really? As evidenced by what? Ironic, it seems, the SFN site frequently criticizes mainstream media for lazy, and or red, journalism.
If one wants to really attempt reading between some lines, starting with Canada’s parting shots might be more in tune.
My first thoughts when Canada got canned was that it had to do with loyalty. He had been interviewing for jobs and obviously was trying to get out. Loyalty works both ways. Maybe Coach D was ‘suggesting’ he’d better be looking for something else, who knows. But Canada’s parting comments do confirm that he is glad to be gone, and that all has not been well behind the scenes. Raises more questions about what is really going on with the staff.
Good riddance! Does Pitt need a DC, they can have Huxtable.
Can’t tell if joking or….
