And then, after the cheering settled, Jason Capel started to yell. The Pitt assistant coach wasn’t screaming at anyone in particular, but his visceral choice words were targeted at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“Y’all gonna disrespect me? All I did for this program? Y’all gonna boo me? I held this sh*t together when Matt Doherty tore it apart,” Capel was overheard saying by a Pittsburgh Sports Now reporter. “F*ck that sh*t.”
