Pat Narduzzi preaches patience at coaching clinic, calls out Matt Canada for doing the opposite: ‘He wasn’t even that good’

The way Pat Narduzzi tells it, he tried to warn Matt Canada not to go to LSU.
Of course, Canada didn’t listen and after Ed Orgeron promised to hire “the best offensive coordinator in the nation,” the Tigers hired away the 2016 Broyles Award finalist to come to Baton Rouge.
After 13 months in Baton Rouge, Canada and LSU parted ways after a disappointing 2017 season that ended in a 9-4 season and featured a home loss to Troy.
During an appearance at the 2019 Nike Coach of the Year Clinic, Narduzzi preached patience to the coaches in attendance and while he didn’t specifically name Canada in the clip below, that’s clearly the assistant coach he is referencing.
“I got him a lot of money, I got him a million at our place,” Narduzzi says in the video below. “He went for maybe $1.5, I got him a million — which is just crazy. Like, are you shittin’ me? Really? I didn’t even think he was worth a million. I mean, he wasn’t even that good.”
