It's been a banner week for Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi, and it's only Wednesday.

He began the week by saying that he thought it was difficult for a team to get hyped up to play against Albany, stating that he hoped his team was at least 93-percent cranked up for their week one game. What do you gain from publicly insulting Albany here, Pat? They don't care what you say- they already collected their paycheck for showing up. Penn State certainly doesn't care about how "cranked up" you are for their game. The only result of this is that you come out looking like a complete a******. Bravo!

But in true Pat Narduzzi fashion, he went ahead and topped his first stupid and insulting comment of the week with an even stupider and insulting comment.

The legend Bill Hillgrove just asked Pat Narduzzi what he sees from Penn State's Lamont Wade, Clairton native and former Pitt recruiting target. Narduzzi: "You don't see him a whole lot. You don't see him a lot out there." — Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) September 5, 2018

For those unfamiliar, Pittsburgh-native Lamont Wade was at one point seen as a Panther lean before eventually choosing Penn State in a super fun commitment video. Narduzzi is obviously very familiar with the former blue-chip prospect. Yet, when asked a question in which he could have very simply dished out some generic coachspeak about how he's a solid football player and looks to have a bright future, he chose to comment on his lack of playing time and basically state that he doesn't think Wade makes an impact.

Oh, and let's not forget that Lamont Wade also just happens to be one of the more intelligent and politically-conscious young men, perhaps in all of college football, and has repeatedly lent his voice to the world in hopes of making it a better place.

Look, I get that he probably just meant that he's not playing much right now, which isn't even terribly factually inaccurate (though he was the third-leading snap taker at safety in week one). But why do this? Why say something that can so easily be seen as a jab at a 19-year old backup safety who just happened to choose your rival school instead of yours?

And not only is this a stupid thing for Narduzzi to have said for his own public image, but it's potentially a stupid thing to have said in front of his local recruiting base who all know exactly who Lamont Wade is!

Few things:



- Narduzzi may not have meant for this to be as malicious or petty as it comes across



- Either way, it's probably not the best look to say that about a 19 year old



- Also not the smartest thing to say about a cousin of the coach of one of the area's top HS programs — Craig Meyer (@CraigMeyerPG) September 5, 2018

At some point in his career, Narduzzi's tone-deafness is going to be the straw the breaks the camel's back. This isn't even the first time that he's attacked Wade publicly!

Perhaps it was a result of spending years as the defensive coordinator of the disrespect kings, Michigan State, but Narduzzi appears to just be perpetually stuck within the little brother mantra. Don't be surprised if, by the end of Saturday's game, he punches himself in the face and tries to get it blamed on big brother James.
