Shawn Watson gets fired by Narduzzi at Pitt. Pretty spot on by the author of this article It is funny and a little sad when I think about what we went through because it is exactly what happened at Texas.
"I think the story on Shawn Watson, and his time with Pitt is fairly well documented at this point. QB Kenny Pickett showed little to no development over the course of this year, and while the offensive lines pass protection abilities certainly didn’t help, it never felt like Pickett was given plays that played to his strengths. Several people described Watson in I think the best way possible: he’d put a drive together that looked great, utilized the right talents, and showed good balance. He would then promptly never recreate it again the rest of the game. It often felt like Watson was just picking plays out of a bag. Nothing seemed to flow into each other or transition well to the next play. Pitt was 96th out of 129 in total offense, and 120th in pass offense. Pitt’s running game was phenomenal, but I think it was more because of the talents of Ollison, Hall, and the line’s run blocking than any specific play calling strategies.
Watson is also pretty much entirely responsible for the absolute death of the tight end position at Pitt. From current players who left to recruits, it was clear that the extreme lack of passing plays to tight ends was frustrating everyone."
