Gus Mustakas: "Extremely Emotional" After Wannstedt's Announcement
Former Pitt Panthers defensive lineman Gus Mustakas calls into the Fan Morning Show to talk about the resignation of Dave Wannstedt. Mustakas was "extremely emotional" about the announcement yesterday.
Mustakas understands the players' reactions on Facebook and Twitter, saying they will not play in the BBVA Compass bowl game on Jan. 8. However, the reality is that you are playing for the university and not the coach.
Mustakas played five seasons under Wannstedt and saw this program grow into a Top 25 team. Mustakas said, Wannstedt put the team in a position to win but it is up to the players to win the game.
Wannstedt was not only a coach on the field, he was a father figure to many of the players off the field. Mustakas tells the Fan Morning Show a story of how Wannstedt affected his life beyond football.
