PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers have signed head coach Pat Narduzzi to a contract extension through 2030, the team announced. 

Narduzzi has spent the last seven seasons with the Pitt program, winning the ACC Championship in 2021 and finishing 13th in the national polls, their highest since 1982.

"Our ACC championship season was the result of a strong culture and foundation that has tirelessly built for Pitt football," Pitt athletic director Heather Lyke said. "That foundation has our program positioned for sustained success well into the future. Continuity of leadership, especially outstanding leadership like Coach Narduzzi and his staff have provided, has been integral to our program's rise. We know that we are poised for even more history-making moments in the years to come with Coach Narduzzi on our sideline."

Since becoming the Panthers head coach, Narduzzi has won 36 ACC games, has coaches seven First-Team All-Americans, sent Kenny Pickett to New York as a Heisman finalist and coached Jordan Addison to the 2021 Biletnikoff Award.

"I love Pitt football and the University of Pittsburgh," Narduzzi said. "Pitt is truly home for my family and me. We are proud to represent this outstanding university and live in this tremendous city.

"I am so appreciative of our players, coaches and staff. Nothing great can be accomplished without their efforts and commitment. I've always talked about the importance of pushing together in the same direction. We have that at Pitt across the board."
