Narduzzi announced that three long-serving assistants, Andre Powell, Tim Salem, and Dave Borbely, are leaving the Pitt football coaching staff, completing an extensive offensive overhaul. The changes come after the prior dismissal of former offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti, leading to a near-total transformation of the offensive coaching team.

The departure of these long-tenured assistants marks a significant shift in the coaching staff, signaling a strategic shift in the offensive direction and approach for the upcoming season.

• Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall both achieved 1,000-yard rushing performances under Borbely's coaching.
• Andre Powell played a key role in recruiting more than a dozen players over a nine-year period, including notable defensive tackles.
• Tim Salem's tight end group saw a decline in production over the last two seasons, following an earlier successful period.

• Pat Narduzzi has completed a comprehensive restructuring of the offensive coaching staff.
• Only receivers coach Tiquan Underwood has been retained from the 2023 coaching staff.

The departure of the long-serving assistants reflects a significant shift in Pitt's offensive coaching strategy, with potential implications for the team's future performance and player development.
