Pat Narduzzi has made his fair share of guarantees. At halftime against No. 2 Miami in 2017, he told ESPN’s sideline reporter that Pitt would pull off the upset. At ACC media days in 2018, he predicted Pitt would be back in Charlotte for the conference championship. Before the 2019 Quick Lane Bowl, Narduzzi claimed Pitt would win an ACC title “in the next couple of years.”
Now, Narduzzi has made another guarantee, another commitment: He will be at Pitt for the long haul.
Narduzzi, after the program’s best season in four decades, has signed a contract extension through at least the 2030 season, Pitt announced on Monday. If he stays at Pitt through 2030, Narduzzi will be the longest-tenured coach in program history, surpassing Jock Sutherland (1924-38).
