PITTSBURGH —
Charlie Partridge, the University of Pittsburgh football team’s assistant head coach and defensive line coach, is heading to the NFL.
Partridge will join the Indianapolis Colts coaching staff as the defensive line coach.
In a statement, Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said Partridge has been “vital” to the Panthers football program as a coach and a mentor.
“When I hired him back in 2017, I had high aspirations for the type of impact he would make for us. True to form, Charlie surpassed even those expectations,” Narduzzi said. “His influence on our players, on and off the field, is well known. Speaking personally, Charlie has been a tremendous confidant, advisor and friend, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
“The National Football League is getting a great coach and an even greater man. On behalf of our entire program, I wish him and his family only the very best.”
