The University of Pittsburgh said that Panthers football offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Frank Cignetti Jr. was leaving the team.
Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi fired offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Frank Cignetti on Sunday, a day after the Panthers finished their worst season in a quarter century by falling to Duke 30-19. Pitt went 3-9 in 2023, the program's first nine-loss season since going 2-9 in 1998. The offense was a major issue, with the Panthers shuttling between three quarterbacks in Phil Jurkovec, Christian Veilleux and Nate Yarnell.
It may be an unceremonious end to the 2023 season, but Pitt has reached the conclusion of its season.
Too much has been trending in the right direction the past couple of seasons for Duke to let that fade away. The Blue Devils got it right to end the regular season as Grayson Loftis threw for two touchdowns and Duke snapped a two-game skid by defeating Pittsburgh 30-19 to secure a second straight winning season Saturday. “It feels amazing,” said Duke defensive end R.J. Oben, one of about three dozen seniors recognized prior to the game.
