Sean from the excellent Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician blog and discussed the state of Pitt and Syracuse last night, ahead of this weekend’s game. Here’s an excerpt.
NunesMagician: In reading some of Wannstedt’s comments this week I get the sense his interviews are as painful to listen to as Greg Robinson.
PittBlather: I noticed you commenting on that. I think there is something wired into former DCs of the pros.
NunesMagician: Like they can’t tell the truth, no matter what
PittBlather: It’s always frustrating when coaches speak and there is such a blatant disconnect between their words and reality.
NunesMagician: Robinson would gain so much goodwill with the fans if he would just be truthful. We all know things suck, just admit it and move forward
PittBlather: Yes, but that would mean admitting culpability. It’s easy to say — I’m the coach it’s on me — overall. But to take specific blame for things. Like a porous d-line. Never getting a grip on the concept of defending the spread. Developing an O-line. No. Then it’s just bad luck and things that will happen eventually.
NunesMagician: Right…of course. Luck of the draw

Let’s dub this game as “the losing head coach gets terminated first bowl”

[…] Actually that was Syracuse Coach Greg Robinson, though it may as well have been a Wannstedt response as well. Credit/curses to Sean of Troy Nunes for pointing out how similar their responses tend to be. […]
