Just reading the latest updates I would have been surprised if we had landed him. However, he's in the 17 class, so there's still time to whip up on Pitt, make a run for the playoffs and then flip him.

There's also a lot of time for Narduzzi to get his next job. Actually, I think the only jobs Narduzzi would take are OSU, ND, UM or MSU. I imagine those are taken for the next few years unless the NFL could lure one or more of those coaches to the league.
Regarding Ford: I should have been more clear about him being the S stud of the '17 class. EARLY ON, I thought he was going to be the S stud. It's been pretty clear as of late that that wasn't what was in the cards.

Miami might not be a bad spot for a defense first coach. Hell South Carolina might not be a bad spot.

Narduzzi's an Ohio guy. His Dad was the head coach at Youngstown St before Tressel. Besides a few years out east as an assistant, he's been in the Midwest his entire career. Pitt's the perfect place for him until one of the Big 4 opens up. He'd be the first one either would look to if the current guys left... as long as he's winning, which it looks like he's doing so far.
Now if Bama called would he listen? Sure. But I'll bet he ends up at one of the 4 mentioned unless he gets Pitt to NC contention and they pay him. Pitt is the closest FBS school to where he's from and a lot of those far eastern Ohio guys relate to being Pittsburgh than being Cleveland.

Wish we landed this kid. Watching AA game kid plays at another level and has the gritty edge that the D could use. He returned a punt earlier, lowered his head and went right at the defender plowed him and picked up another 10. Like the hard work. Did we ever have a shot for him?

When your brother played at ND and you don't have 2 pages on your IE profile until this post the answer is:
Nope.

Wish the kid the best and I won't pretend to know what is going on but IF true, obviously another example of a player ND "missed" on, that had the fanbase up in arms, that wasn't a fit all along.

crazy we didn't get more involved with him (not putting it on the staff, some kids just aren't interested).

just saw on twitter from an NFL analyst for nfl.com said he isn't sure what he trained for after opting out. heard from a scout he was doing 360's at the touch line on the short shuttle and ran a 4.90 forty...said as a safety, that's not draftable
