Pederson will hold a press conference, which The Pitt News will cover live, at the Pitt football practice facility in the South Side.
Haywood, the former Miami University of Ohio head coach, led his Mid-American conference team to a 9-4 record this year, his second year at the school. The school had a 1-11 record in 2009.
Haywood worked as an assistant at seven schools, including Louisiana State University and Notre Dame, before moving to Ohio.
He had interviewed twice with Pitt since Wannstedt’s resignation and is not expected to coach the Red Hawks in the upcoming GoDaddy.com bowl.
