Last Friday, Pitt announced that it had parted ways with offensive coordinator Shawn Watson, much to the delight of the fanbase at large. But now, the question is how the program should move forward after splitting with its third offensive coordinator since Panthers head coach Pat Narduzzi took charge of the team in 2015.
Under Watson, Pitt gained a reputation for its impressive rushing attack, but it was also one-dimensional, as a poor passing game doomed the Panthers on multiple occasions. Meanwhile, Watson’s predecessors, Jim Chaney and Matt Canada, found success during their time in Pittsburgh but sought greener pastures after reeling in SEC job offers.
