Nearly four weeks after being introduced as the new head coach at Pittsburgh, and less than 24 hours after it was first reported as being likely, Pat Narduzzi has put the finishing touches on his first Panther coaching staff.
As expected, Pitt announced Wednesday afternoon that Kevin Sherman has been hired as Narduzzi’s wide receivers coach. Sherman had spent the past two season in the same position at Purdue.
Prior to that, he coached receivers at Virginia Tech (2006-12) and Wake Forest (2001-05).
“Kevin Sherman is a veteran teacher of wide receiver play,” Narduzzi said in a statement. “He is very familiar with the Atlantic Coast Conference and its various recruiting areas. I’m thrilled to bring a great person and an experienced professional like Kevin to Pittsburgh.”
With Sherman’s hiring, Narduzzi’s nine-man staff is set and appears below:

Jim Chaney, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks

Rob Harley, linebackers
Renaldo Hill, cornerbacks
