Welcome to Beyond the Script — the podcast that takes you inside Pitt Athletics, past the press conferences and into the real conversations. Host Jason Earle sits down with the coaches, athletes, and administrators who are doing the work every day to build something special in Pittsburgh.
This episode, Jason is joined by men's soccer head coach Jay Vidovich and assistant coaches Bryce Cregan, Will Marshall and Robby Dambrot — all three former Pitt players themselves. What does it mean to protect the culture behind the crest as rosters turn over year after year? How does a program build a coaching staff almost entirely out of its own alumni? What does staying true to that culture look like heading into 2026? Jay, Bryce, Will and Robby take us inside the program they helped build — beyond the script.
