Pitt football reportedly filled its wide receiver coaching vacancy by hiring away Rutgers' wide receivers coach Tiquan Underwood. Underwood joins the program after two years coaching under Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano.
A report from Pete Thamel of ESPN surfaced Sunday morning:
The move finalizes the Panthers' efforts to fill the two offensive coaching vacancies created by the departures of offensive coordinator Mark Whipple for Nebraska and Brennan Marion for Texas. Frank Cignetti Jr. returned to the program to reassume his position of offensive coordinator more than a decade since holding the same position for the program between 2009-2010, and now Underwood enters the program after his two-year stint under Schiano, the same coach he played under from 2005-2008 before heading to the NFL.
