Is there a bigger disgrace to coaching at the D1 level? I have to wonder if he is impaired. He dressed like his father and asked his team to humiliate Youngstown St. Because they fired his dad 39 years ago.

I'm serious. It's possible he's suffering from CTE. No other explanation for an adult in a responsible position to not only tell his team to make it personal and then endorse his pettiness after the fact. He should be hauled into the chancellor office.
I agree. Maybe I shouldn't make light of it. They man does seem to some sort of debilitating and deteriorating mental condition.
At least you appropriately showed one of the big stars from UCLA (University on the Corner of Lincoln Avenue) aka Youngstown State. Interestingly he was an assistant coach at Youngstown Ursuline high school (Steel Valley Conference) who we played back when I was in high school, so I actually got to see him prowl the sidelines before I ever knew who he was.
Do it for Dad: Pat Narduzzi Wanted to Make it Personal Against YSU
Pat Narduzzi didn’t just want to beat Youngstown State, he wanted to make a statement. And he wanted to do it for his late father, Bill Narduzzi. The elder Narduzzi, who died in 1988 at 51, served as the head coach at YSU for over a decade — from 1975-85. The younger Narduzzi was a […]

While at Pitt, Narduzzi has played YSU twice before. The first time he won by 8 points. The second time, he needed OT to win by 7. AFAIK, Narduzzi didn't play the "it's personal" card in those two games.
My guess is Narduzzi actually wanted to show he was able to avoid another embarrassingly close victory against an FCS team. To do that, he made the game all about himself. He's an egotistical buffoon.

As a long time school district AD, if a coach made that sort of revenge statement to the local media, he'd at minimum have a letter of reprimand in his file.

“You know, I feel in the game of football if they can score 73 on you, score 73,” says Phillips. “But as a father, I hope I’m teaching Lincoln (his son), as a head football coach with my kids, I hope I’m teaching them that disappointments are going to happen in life. You’re going to face adversity in life, and I certainly wouldn’t want them to be angry for 39 years.”
Awesome response.
It’s one thing to score 73 on an FCS team. It’s a whole new level of a-hole to gloat about it.
