Pressure Everywhere

This Scouts, Inc./ESPN.com story on coaches on the hot seat (subs. req’d) includes Coach Harris:

It seems the university is getting a little impatient with Harris. The team underachieved a season ago and finished poorly down the stretch, losing three of its final four. The Panthers’ defense is solid, but the team lost most of its skill players on offense, including record-setting WR Larry Fitzgerald. If Harris can’t pull off a New Year’s bowl bid in a watered-down Big East, word has it he’ll be packing his bags.

I repeat, 6 wins is what he needs. The opening of the article talks about NFL coaches looking at college football because the money is actually pretty good, and the stability is greater. If Harris does go, I suspect Dave Wannstedt will be available. As a companion, it also listed hot assistants — no surprise that Pitt Defensive Coordinator, Paul Rhoads was not on the list this year.

Final note from the “No S**t!” category. In the Big 11 notebook there is this little note regarding Paterno:

Paterno has exasperated some Pennsylvanians by stonewalling a revival of the Pittsburgh-Penn State revival. Some say Paterno’s grudge against Pitt goes back to 1982, when the Panthers wouldn’t join the Nittany Lions in an all-sports Eastern conference. The teams haven’t met since 2000.

Considering that is the first thing he mentions whenever the game is brought up, it seems like a reasonable inference.
