Somethings never change.

Here are some funny tidbits from an article about the ND vs Pitt game:

"The anticipated matchup of two former NFL coaches turned college head coaches -- Weis, the former New England offensive wizard, vs. Dave Wannstedt, a one-time defensive coordinator and the former coach of the Bears and Dolphins -- was as big as mismatch as the final score."

"Wannstedt is the first Pitt coach to lose his debut since Mike Gottfried's Panthers lost to Maryland 13-10 in 1986, and the most recent comparable loss by a debuting coach was Carl DePasqua's 42-8 loss to UCLA in 1969."

"With a Top 25 ranking, a schedule filled with winnable games and polished playmaker Tyler Palko at quarterback, Pitt expected a big start to an excellent season. Instead, it was a huge letdown, with a sold-out Heinz Field half-empty before the end of the third quarter. Some of those 66,451 fans leaving early could be heard wondering if Pitt was so wise to jettison former head coach Walt Harris, an accomplished offensive coach, after five consecutive bowl seasons." answer = no!

Wannsdedt probably has a better QB than he had here in Palko compared to Fiedler and this is in college. He still doesn't know how to use them.

Luck has nothing to do with it, its all about sucking.

is anyone really surprised? the guy deserves every bit of embarrassment he suffers for being in denial about his head coaching ability. he should have went back to being a D coord after he destroyed the bears.

What I'd be worried about is his recruiting. Who wants to commit to a school with a Moustache as a head coach.

Wanny makes his own luck. Unfortunately, he makes his own BAD luck.

I do not. I think he is a decent coordinator. But that is at best. He just has no clue how to run a team.
