Wow, how nice of NFL head coach Mike Tomlin to bring together Pat Narduzzi and James Franklin, the two head coaches of heated rivals Pittsburgh and Penn State. The two coaches of the biggest programs in-state, smiling side-by-side before the season?
Penn State and Pitt are old rivals, but they share the Steelers head coach
There’s enough Mike Tomlin for both fanbases.

— Mike Tomlin (@CoachTomlin) June 3, 2015 OK, fine, the two teams haven’t played since 2000, when Narduzzi was a linebackers coach at Northern Illinois and Franklin coached wide receivers at Maryland. They’re scheduled to play from 2016-19, but Narduzzi wants it to be a yearly series, so let’s dream.
