With the departure of Paul Rhoads to Auburn, the defensive coordinator job has opened up at Pitt. Who should Dave Wanny sign to take over an up-and-coming defense? The list of rumored candidates include Carolina Panther defensive line coach Sal Sunseri, Washington St. secondary coach Chris Ball, Pitt defensive line coach Greg Gattuso, Conneticut defensive coordinator Todd Orlando, and a surprise candidate in Penn St. defensive coordinator Tom Bradley.
Paul Rhoads was a decent coordinator, but the defense really struggled before this year. My first opinion for who should take over is Sal Sunseri. He is a former Pitt player, and he is the father of incoming QB recruit Tino Sunseri. Sal is popular among alumni, and would be a good choice to take over the defense.
Pitt defensive line coach Greg Gattuso would also be a smart choice because he is coming from inside the program. He has really helped to turn around the Pitt defensive line. Do you remember Dave Wanny's first year? The defensive line could not pressure anyone. Greg also has plenty of experience, he was the head coach at Duquesne before coming to Pitt.
Tom Bradley's name really surprised me. I mean would this man really leave Penn St (after how many years?) to come to Pitt? Tom is easily the best choice because he has been a defensive coordinator for about 28 years with Penn St. (a.k.a. Linebacker U.), and they have a good defense year in and year out. It is a long shot in my opinion, but it is a rumor.
