Dave Wannstedt is out as Pitt coach following a disappointing season in which the Panthers were big favorites to win the Big East Conference, only to finish 7-5 and qualify for a minor bowl, according to an ESPN.com report. Wannstedt resigned under pressure Tuesday, three days after Pitt salvaged its regular season by beating Cincinnati 28-10. The former Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins coach, highly respected by Pitt's administration, will remain at the school as a special assistant to AD Steve Pederson.
