Pitt has been in the market for a new offensive coordinator since Mark Whipple left for Nebraska in early December, and on Thursday, it was revealed that former Pitt offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti will return to the program to reprise his old role as a member of Pat Narduzzi’s coaching staff.
A contract has yet to be signed, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports, who first reported a deal was imminent. However, the two sides are expected to reach an agreement in the near future, meaning Pitt’s search for an offensive coordinator should be coming to an end just over a month after it began.
