PITTSBURGH -- Dave Wannstedt is out as Pittsburgh football coach following a disappointing season in which the Panthers were big favorites to win a weak Big East Conference, only to finish 7-5 and qualify for a minor bowl.
Pitt called a news conference to announce that the former Bears and Dolphins coach was stepping down, under pressure from athletic director Steve Pederson. Wannstedt, highly respected by Pitt's administration, will continue to work for the athletic department, serving as special assistant to the athletic director.

Didnt Pederson go after him when he was here to replace Solich. If true its kinda ironic.

 
Wannstedt's tenure was marked by upset losses to teams such as Ohio University and Bowling Green and a failure to play in a BCS bowl

Yet more irony that Frank Solich got Wannstedt canned.

Yeah Pitt lost to Ohio in Solich's first season there. I have that game on DVD. I remember watching it on ESPN Thursday night as Ohio's Corner had 2 int's returned for TDs....the second one in OT.
