NO. 39: Pitt
2014 RECORD: 6-7
PROJECTED 2015 RECORD: 8-5
CIRCLE THE DATE: Nov. 7 vs. Notre Dame
WHY NO. 39: Because the school was smart enough to hire Narduzzi to replace Paul Chryst, who went back to Wisconsin as head coach. The Pitt job has been a revolving door. But Narduzzi, long considered head-coaching material because of his standout work with Michigan State’s defense, should change all that. While Narduzzi’s expertise is on defense, it is the Panthers offense that will lead the team in 2015.
