Righting the wrongs

If you were a head coach that created a questionable qb situation for 2 consecutive years, could you fix the problem? If so, how would you go about it? How badly does it impact recruiting HS and xfr qbs?

Unfortunately, I'm hearing qb management is negatively impacting qb recruiting. Players, parents, and coaches are having difficulty steering potential qbs to Montana because of qb mismanagement. At the very least, it's creating questions. True or not? We shall see.

If I were the head coach that created this mess, I'd promise to be more insightful with qb management. I'd tell everyone, off season, spring training, and fall camp will be heavily evaluated. These times will be the opportunities for 1 qb to prove himself as a true #1. A true #1 will be named b4 the regular season starts!

I'd commit the staff to develop every rostered qb! I'd emphasize the importance of personal off season commitment excellence. They'd know, most of this development is on them individually, when coaches can't be with them. I'd let them know, teammates will be giving feedback as to who is committed and who does the most.

What would you all do, if you created this mess?
 
Your offensive line play has hindered QB development as much as hauck screwing around with the rotation, i think. Teams can throw a lot of looks at your QBs because they can get home with 4 so often. You need line play like you had for eternity before Bob Stitt. I remember well how dominant those lines were for eternity. Fix that and your QBs will magically develop better. IMO.

Yeah we know.

And at the same time, the QB situation also needs to improve. An elite QB can make good things happen even behind a mediocre line. But a mediocre quarterback plus a mediocre line leads to the kinds of outcomes we saw this year - wins over bad teams and losses to good teams. Improvement is needed across the board.

I would make it clear to everyone that the best qb plays in the games, not the qb that is someone’s son.
 
As a parent I was involved with my two children in the recruiting process. If my son currently was a quality qb prospect I wouldn’t advise him to attend Montana. I’m not sure Bobby can fix the problem without the involvement of Haslam. I have always been in Bobby’s corner, but my view is he currently has a situation that could impact the Griz football program for several years.

Haslam is not going to help Bobby fix any football problem.

Why? He is the AD

And as AD he doesn’t know football or influence football decisions. The top boosters like and support Bobby more Haslam. Haslam is an administrator and caretaker of a good program. In many programs, the coach is much bigger than the AD. In most programs, the AD doesn’t go against the top boosters. If the coach no longer has strong support from top boosters, then the dynamics are different from what I have said.
 
I don't think Fife was much better than Ah Yat and Ah Yat has more years of eligibility. I think everyone knew this years team had glaring weaknesses and wasn't making a deep playoff run. Fife sealed his fate with his twitter post and calling out Hauck. Hauck did what any coach would have done and what any of the smarter egriz posters would have done.

Preseason prognostications would disagree.

What a stupid statement. Ask O'Day or Bobby Knight or 100s of other coaches and ADs that thought they were above the University when they were fired.

I talk to O’Day frequently. We are good friends. Coaches don’t get fired when they have good support from top boosters. AD’s don’t last if they go against their top boosters. My statement is right. You obviously have no clue. You must be way out of the know.
