Hope the Nameplate Wasn’t Ordered Yet

Found January 19, 2012 on Pitt Blather: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Gabe Carimi,  Mike Martz
TEAMS: Chicago Bears

I don’t know what Indian Burial sight the Pitt side of the Southside Complex was built upon, but something is clearly not right.

Reports are that Bob Bostad’s tenure as O-line coach for Pitt is already over. He is apparently taking the same position in the NFL with the Chicago Bears.

WSCR-670 The Score’s Mike Mulligan reports the official announcement will be coming soon from the Bears.

…

That said, Bostad has a connection to Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice. Tice’s son, Nate, was a walk-on quarterback on the Badgers the last few years. Bostad also coached Bears offensive tackle Gabe Carimi at Wisconsin.

Tice was recently promoted to become the Bears’ offensive coordinator, replacing Mike Martz.

The only thing that might give pause is that Mike Tice was contacted by the Raiders to interview for their vacant head coaching job. I don’t know. This is just ridiculous.
