I never did understand why Pitt hired him for a second time in the first place.
Because his replacement Jeff Long screwed up so bad at the job, they thought Peterson could come back and right the ship.
When Peterson got their in '97 they hadn't been to a bowl game since the 80s. They had won 1 bowl game since 1982. He hired Walt Harris who takes them to bowl games in 6 of his 8 years. Peterson gets the Nebraska AD job.
Jeff Long comes in and fires Harris, who was the Big East COY, and had just led the Panthers to the BCS Fiesta Bowl. Long hires Wanstedt & Pitt doesn't go to a bowl game the rest of Long's tenure at Pitt.
