Here’s one to catch you offguard.
The guy with this report is from WSCR 670 in Chicago (and a ‘Cuse guy). As you can imagine, Bears fans responded with expected optimism at the idea of a guy who is associated with Dave Wannstedt coming to help the Bears offense.
The other report is that Strength and Conditioning Coach Buddy Morris may go to the Washington Redskins.
Two thoughts:
1) Last time a Pitt coach headed to work for Mike Shanahan — Larry Coyers — he was fired after only a few years.
2) It would allow Buddy Morris a chance to come back to Pitt a 4th time if he does go.
Otherwise, neither has me too concerned right now. Neither seems to be generating much buzz outside of Pitt-centric interest.
It would be a huge blow to lose Cignetti, obviously, but I don’t see that realistically happening.
Crazy thought…say Pitt exceeds expectations and goes undefeated next year. They’re a shoe-in for the title game with all of the ranked teams they would be playing (minimum Utah, Miami, WVU, Cincy; and throw in potentials here and there in ND, USF, UConn, Navy). Just another fun rumor to spread.
