Pitt fires athletic director Steve Pederson after coach Paul Chryst bolts for Wisconsin
Pitt and Pederson parted ways in what chancellor Patrick Gallagher called a mutual decision on Wednesday.
"With major decisions to be made about the future of football, I thought it was in the best interest of the University of Pittsburgh for Chancellor Gallagher to assemble his own team," Pederson said in a statement. "I am a Pitt and City of Pittsburgh fan, and want what is best for everyone moving into the future."
While Pederson helped guide Pitt through conference realignment and secure a spot in the ACC, his struggles with finding a consistent football coach ultimately cost him his job.
In 2010, Pederson forced out Dave Wannstedt following an 8-5 season and hired Mike Haywood, who had turned Miami-Ohio into Mid-American Conference power. However, Haywood lasted just 16 days before he was fired following a domestic dispute at his home on New Year’s Eve.
Pederson then turned to Todd Graham to help lead the program, but Graham, who came over from Tulsa, managed just a 6-6 season before bolting to Arizona State in 2011.
Chryst, who was hired in 2011, was with the program for three seasons, but was 19-19 and was ultimately swayed to come back to his hometown of Madison, Wisc., by athletic director Barry Alvarez.
Randy Juhl, vice chancellor for research conduct and compliance, will serve as Pitt's acting athletic director and offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph will serve as interim coach for the Panthers in the Armed Forces Bowl on Jan. 2 against Houston.

Wisconsin officially makes Paul Chryst its next coach
Chryst, who had spent the past three seasons as Pitt’s head coach, was Wisconsin’s offensive coordinator before taking the Pitt job. He’s also a graduate of Wisconsin.
Chryst was 19-19 with the Panthers.
“It’s a bit overwhelming to be able to come back to a place where you grew up, went to school and coached, where you have so many ties personally and professionally,” Chryst said. “This job has everything that we, as a family, and me, personally, are looking for. The bar has been set at a high level here and it didn’t just happen. I look forward to the challenge of continuing that tradition of success.”
Chryst had two coaching stints with the Badgers, but is best known for his time from 2005-11. During that time, Chryst was responsible for orchestrating six of the school's 10-best offensive performances. During the 2011 season, the Badgers, which boasted quarterback Russell Ball and running back Montee Ball, averaged 44.1 points per game, which was sixth-best in the country, a school record and the third-best mark in the Big Ten since 1916.
Chryst replaces Gary Andersen, who left the program to become the head coach at Oregon State. Andersen was 19-7 in two season with the Badgers.
“He brings tremendous experience, both as a head coach and offensive coordinator, and knowledge of our program to the job,” Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez said. “He is one of the best offensive minds I have ever come across and I think his consistent results show that.
“Equally as important is his character. He is one of the most genuine people I’ve met and he truly cares for the student-athletes in his program. I’m very happy we were able to hire him as our head football coach.”

Tennessee lands former Alabama RB Alvin Kamara
The Vols announced they had signed Kamara, a former four-star prospect, out of Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College.
Kamara spent the 2013 season at Alabama, but never saw the field. He was suspended twice and left home from the Sugar Bowl because of an unspecified disciplinary reason. Kamara announced via Twitter last January that he was leaving the Alabama program, but maintained that it was not because of the behavioral issues that landed him in hot water with Saban and his staff.
Kamara rushed for 1,211 yards and 18 touchdowns in nine games with Hutchinson this season. Hutchinson is the same junior college that produced former Tennessee star receiver Cordarrelle Patterson.
"Alvin is an extremely competitive kid. He has an explosive element to his game that will allow him to help us immediately,” Tennessee running backs coach Robert Gillespie said. “I'm excited to coach him this spring and believe that his addition will create a healthy competition in the running backs room."
Freshman Jalen Hurd led the Vols in rushing with 777 yards and three touchdowns, but as a team Tennessee struggled to rush the ball. It ranked 100th in the country and 13th in the SEC in rushing with just 135 yards per game.
Kamara is expected to be on campus in January.

AD Oliver Luck reportedly leaving West Virginia
West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck is reportedly leaving the Mountaineers and heading to the NCAA.
The news, first reported by the Charleston Daily Mail, is expected to be made official by West Virginia on Wednesday.
Sources tell Charleston Daily Mail WVU athletic director Oliver Luck leaving school to take position with NCAA. Announcement expected today.
— Mike Casazza (@mikecasazza) December 17, 2014
Word is this is a created position and Luck will be something of second-in-charge there to oversee NCAA reform.
— Mike Casazza (@mikecasazza) December 17, 2014 Luck, the father of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, has been the athletic director at West Virginia since 2010. If his position is based at the NCAA headquarters, he'll be in the same city as his son.
He served on the College Football Playoff committee in 2014 and given there are no current NCAA administrators on the panel, Luck will likely have to give up his spot in the group if he takes a job with the NCAA. Per the Playoff, his term is set to expire in February of 2017. If he needs to be replaced, a Big 12 representative will be chosen.
With Luck in charge of the athletic department, West Virginia moved from the Big East to the Big 12 before the 2012 football season. In three years in the Big 12, the Mountaineers are 11-14 in Big 12 play. In his tenure, West Virginia also remodeled its compliance program after receiving a notice of allegations of NCAA violations. The allegations were against football staff members from 2005-2009.
When Texas was searching for an athletic director to succeed DeLoss Dodds, Luck was considered a leading candidate before the school picked former Arizona State AD Steve Patterson.

Could Miami's contract with Nike end?
Nike and the Miami Hurricanes have become synonymous. And it's possible that the two could be parting ways.
Miami first signed a deal with Nike in 1987 and was the first school to sign an all-sports contract with a brand. Since then, Miami has been a Nike school. But the contract between the two is up on August 31 and Under Armour and Adidas have made bids to be Miami's new supplier.
UM Athletic Director Blake James confirmed to the Post two undisclosed companies made bids and said Nike has an opportunity to match.
The bids submitted by Adidas and Under Armour are believed to be several million dollars per year richer than Nike’s deal with UM. As a private institution, UM does not release information on such contracts.
“Right now all I would say is we have a great partner in Nike and as our contract is coming to an end, we’re evaluating the options that are out there and available,” James said.
Earlier in the week, Arizona State announced it was switching from Nike to Adidas, which recently lost Notre Dame to Under Armour and Tennessee to Nike.
According to the Post, Miami would like to announce a new supplier before playing South Carolina in the Independence Bowl on December 27. If Miami does replace Nike, Under Armour seems to us to be the most logical fit for the Hurricanes identity.
