PITTSBURGH — There are a lot of things people can say about Pitt football coach Pat Narduzzi, but one thing they can never say is that he is afraid to speak his mind. He is refreshingly honest, sometimes to a fault, and he isn’t afraid to tackle many controversial or hot-button issues without much of a filter.
That isn’t to say he is always right, but he is always at least honest about how he feels. And quite often when he speaks on a topic, he kicks a hornet’s nest and makes himself a bit of a lightning rod for criticism, sometimes fair, sometimes unfair.
The subject of Deion Sanders’ roster management at Colorado was brought to Narduzzi and, not surprisingly, he didn’t hold back his thoughts. Sanders was hired by Colorado in December and at his first meeting with the players told them all essentially they would be replaced.
