Looks like Pitt didn’t get a new offensive coordinator yet. Frank Scelfo decided to stay at Tulane.

“This was a great experience for me. Pittsburgh is a great place with a great facility, and (Coach) Walt Harris is a first-class guy, but I had to follow my heart,” Scelfo said. “Tulane University and the city of New Orleans are pretty special for me. I saw a lot of passion in a lot that happened last spring, and I couldn’t see myself leaving. It’s hard to walk away from all the things this city has done for me and my family. That’s what it boiled down to.”

Scelfo has been with Tulane for eight seasons and has served as the Green Wave’s recruiting coordinator and assistant head coach, directing the team’s wide receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks. He’s the only coach on the staff that was an assistant on the 1998 undefeated team.

Scelfo, whose brother Chris is the Wave’s head coach, said he understood that taking the Pittsburgh job would have given him more visibility as an offensive coordinator and could have moved him closer to his goal of being a head coach.

Despite some concerns over potential trouble down the road, I think Harris missed again. HE got turned down by a guy who chose to stay at a school that nearly eliminated their football program all together last year. Ouch.
