Through the 2025 season, he had compiled an 80-61 overall record at Pitt, a total that ranks second in school history behind only Jock Sutherland. From 2015-25, his teams won 52 ACC games, the third-highest conference total in that span behind Clemson and Miami.
Narduzzi's most notable season at Pitt came in 2021, when the Panthers went 11-3, won the ACC Championship with a 45-21 victory over Wake Forest, and finished No. 13 in the final polls, the program's highest year-end ranking since 1982. Pitt followed that with a 9-4 season in 2022, capped by a 37-35 win over UCLA in the Sun Bowl and a No. 22 final ranking. Those back-to-back Top 25 finishes were Pitt's first in consecutive seasons since 1979-83.
