Brock Purdy

I was talking to former coach Bob Stitt earlier, he said we were the first D1 program to offer Brock Purdy. I guess Iowa state has been stealing our recruits and players for a decade not just this past season.
 
We did? There's no record of that that I can find, but I know he was nearly on his way to Bozeman before he got interest from Alabama and Iowa State late in the process. 247 shows no offer from us, even though it lists his offers from MSU, NAU, SUU, and UCD.

Stitt was all in on Matt Robinson for that class's QB, who ended up decommitting and going to Illinois.

No offense to the guy, but Stitt has been known to talk big about how he almost recruited superstar NFL players to Missoula after the fact.

MSU was heavy on Purdy. Had him to campus for an official visit and I think choate even did a home visit. Boise State swooped in late and eventually Iowa state came in with a late offer.

Similar deal with Justin Herbert. MSU was his top choice (his older brother was a WR at MSU) until Oregon came in late with an offer.
 
"Brock Richard Purdy is an American professional football quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League. He played college football for the Iowa State Cyclones and was selected by the 49ers with the final pick in the 2022 NFL draft, becoming that year's Mr. Irrelevant." --Wiki
 
Yeah, BP could have been blasted like a sitting duck, just as with every other QB who “Stitt Happens” failed to protect. It still blows me away that his offense didn’t use a TE to help with protection. It was sad to see so many QBs injured. So happy that clown was chased out of Missoula.

You are clueless. Mike Leach ran the best offenses in college football without using tight ends.

Why do you think that one example would make what Goat said is clueless? Yes, Leach was terrific with offense, and apparently a great guy. Some of my family has known him. Do you think Stitt ran Leach's offense? Do you think Stitt was even in the ballpark with Leach, in terms of coaching quality?

I don't think you are a bad person, like some of jerks on egriz, but I have never reacted well to many of your semi-substantive posts on egriz when you act/post like you understand football. When it is obvious from your posts that you don't understand much about football.

Why couldn't you just say that Leach ran great offenses with TE's? Why the clueless stuff? In order to say things like that on egriz, you need to have had 30 years of posting on egriz and the prior ugmb under your belt. Then you can say things like that. Sorry, house rules here. As you grow up, you will understand stuff like that.

All I said is it is clueless to ascertain that not using TE’s is a problem or automatically means the offense is bad when Mike Leach had the most prolific offenses in college football without using TE’s.

It wasn't so much the lack of a TE...

Stitt and Leach ran different offenses. You tried to use Leach’s offense to prove the poster wrong. Your post and many of your substantive posts on football are clueless.

Their offenses were the same fundamentally in that they are based around fast tempo and spreading the defense out across the entire field, hence why there is an extra receiver instead of a tight end.

Leach's offenses were fun and put up a lot of points. The biggest criticism is that it is great between the 20's and hitting big plays but when the field becomes smaller inside the 20 and spacing becomes tighter it is less effective. It was a lot of fun to watch. A lot of quick strike TD's but also a lot of 30 second possessions that put the defense on the field a lot. I think you need TE's in today's college football to win consistently. You can put up a lot of passing yards and light up poor and average teams with this offense for sure. But watch any of the top FCS and FBS teams the last few years. They still run some non TE sets but your seeing way more heavy TE sets.

You sound like someone who was a football coach for much of your adult life.
