Years ago Coach Mike Gottfried allegedly knocked up a Pitt chearleader and left coaching completely. He was a color analyst for a while. Pitt was expecting miracles out of Wannstedt from what I could see. Oh well, who is next up.
I guess it has never been the same since Johnny Majors left (they won the National Championship in 1976 and then left for his alma mater Tennessee).
Wannstadt never has had a lot of success as a head coach at any level as far as I am aware. AFter 6 years was probably the right time to move on.
Wannstedt was Jimmy Johnson’s “protege” and they both failed miserably here with Miami Dolphins!!!
