Before the season, many people predicted that Pitt's hire of Pat Narduzzi was a good one. CBS Sports was one of those, previously saying that his hiring was the seventh best one in all of college football.
With the season over, they recently evaluated things again. This time, he was ranked even higher.
Narduzzi finished the season at 8-5 and as a result, ranked fourth in CBS Sports' post-season review.
Breakdown: Establishing an identity for your program can be a difficult task for a first-time, first-year coach. But Narduzzi has everyone in on the plan at Pitt and nothing showcases that more than how the Panthers responded to adversity this season.
