A lot of publications like to compare Weis and Wanny aka The Stache because of their NFL pedigrees, their simultaneous start in CFB, and the fact that they played their first games against one another.
That’s about where the similarities end, at least in the world of the MM! It’s obvious who you want coaching you if you’re going by MM stats, and it’s not the guy nicknamed after nose hair.
(Why brown for Pitt’s line? That’s ‘Stache style folks. And ND already has blue locked in the MM.)
The Stache hasn’t ever really gotten things going at Pitt. In year 2 he looked to have things going in the right direction, and then things tanked. So he’s had a few short runs of wins, but more than that he’s had a few serious runs with multiple consecutive losses. It looks like Wanny’s squads either 1) hit tough schedule stretches or 2) get into funks that they just can’t get out of. It’s a little bit of both, but more the latter with his teams. You could probably call Pitt “MSU Lite” in honor of the El Smith years at MSU – they get hit with one unexpected loss, and they fall apart.
Here’s to hoping that last week’s loss to Rutgers signals, at the least, another Pitt L this week. Keep that streak going Stache!
Don't take me, yourself, or life so seriously. This is supposed to be fun.
Biscuit co-founded HerLoyalSons in partnership with his ND roommate (Dillon Hall baby!), MQ, in 2006 and has been ranting about ND Football and everything Notre Dame since. He strongly believes in the mission of ND and its football program. Biscuit expects logic and data in arguments and will absolutely crush you if you come to a debate missing one or the other. He despises everything Michigan, and his favorite pastime is mocking Purdue.

You got pissed off about my Friday Night Lights recaps, yet THIS is going to be your recurring segment? Seriously?
Dude, your FNL stuff wasn’t even close to being relevant. It fit better on MTV.com. The MM is simplistic, but effective. Suck it.
Oh, we’re going for “relevant” now? Sorry. I was shooting for “entertaining.”
I didn’t realize the two were mutually exclusive. I know you could ‘entertain’ us while waxing poetic on the size of your dogs balls, but it’s just not pertinent to the site. We can agree on that, yes?
Don’t make me separate you two.
he STARTED it!
I kinda like the MM…quickest way of looking at a coaching career, especially between teams with similar strengths of schedule.
Let’s see Rockne’s!
Matt ’09 is my new favoritest person in the world. BK remains my most hated (after Hitler and DTK – i kid DTK!)
