Will The Coaching Staff Learn From This Game?

I feel bad for these kids. They played their hearts out, but unfortunately, they were not put in a position to close out this game.

At this point in the season, I am seriously questioning some of the coaching staff’s priorities. I think some of them still have a chip on their shoulders about being passed over for Stitt a few years back.

I’m not trying to re-ignite the controversy, but there was a podcast I listened to this week that brought back that sense of frustration from earlier this year.

Here is the link to the podcast: Big Sky Breakdown: Griz at WIU featuring Andrew Houghton, Shaun Rainey

Jump to the 54-minute mark -- Listen to what Shaun Rainey says about why he believes Gresch Jensen left the program.

For those of you who are technically challenged, the short version is the close personal relationship between Sneed and Rosenbach is the reason that Gresch left the Griz football team.

To quote Shaun, “They are TIGHT. Like, really, really close.”

The sad thing is that Shaun genuinely didn’t know this information. The sadder thing is that Colter has known all along that Sneed was getting preferential treatment because of that tight relationship and yet he still continued to push the narrative that Gresch left because he was an entitled kid who didn’t want to compete for the job.

An actual journalist would have reported on this conflict of interest, but Colter also has relationships with the current Griz coaching staff. I think it’s more of a man crush, but regardless of how you describe it, Colter lets those personal relationships influence his reporting. Keep that in mind whenever Colter references his “sources” on Twitter.

His reporting is more propaganda than it is journalism. In fact, when you listen to the podcast I referenced above, Shaun is replying to Colter’s glowing praise of Rosenbach’s “phenomenal job” addressing Montana’s “glaring weaknesses” (his words not mine).

Blah, blah, blah… Why do you even care?

Because today it cost the Griz a game they should have won.

I realize that many in Griz Nation are really high on Sneed. He's a very well spoken young man. He's very politically savvy too. And I think he’s genuinely a competitive kid. So please note that I am not attacking him as a person here.

As a football player, Sneed is not a good enough QB to lead this team to the playoffs. He proved that today.

He’s a very good runner, but he’s not an accurate passer. He cannot throw the deep ball.

He rarely connects on the deep throws and when he does, it takes a diving acrobatic maneuver by a receiver to make the catch, like today’s throw to Sammy early in the game.

The receiver ends up on the ground after making a circus catch. It’s great that they make the catch, but usually, there is with no one between him and the goal line. Had a more accurate throw been made, and the ball was caught in stride, then those plays go for six.

And even his short to medium range throws are not very catchable, he rifles almost every throw. And more often than not, he throws the ball at their knees.

Simply put, Sneed doesn’t have the skill set that is needed to complement the strengths of this team. Receivers like Toure came here to play in a vertical passing offense with a QB like Gresch.

Unfortunately for Griz players and fans, I don’t think Rosenbach cares.

It doesn’t matter that we had a proven winner in Jensen or a kid like Humphries with a better arm standing on the sideline, Sneed’s relationship with Rosenbach is all that matters.

For what it’s worth, I think Eastwood falls into that same category.

He too appears to be favored by this staff -- I assume it’s Hauck since he came from SDSU, but I don’t know.

For at least the last 10 years I have watched every Griz game multiple times -- in person whenever possible, but also again (and again) on DVR. I saw what Lee is capable of doing in short yardage situations last season. He’s a banger. A short, stocky, powerful kid who can get you one yard.

And yet for some reason, Eastwood is repeatedly given the ball in short yardage situations. Why you would repeatedly hand the ball to a slower, less powerful, freshman over an experienced senior is beyond me. Yes, I know the OL is struggling, but that’s exactly why you want a back who will slam the ball into the hole. Not one who stands straight up and leans into the pile only to be driven back.

Even today Eastwood didn’t play with any sense of urgency on the last few drives. Sneed to his credit followed up one of Eastwood's low-effort runs by quickly attacking the same defense, behind the same offensive line, and picked up 8 yards or something running straight up the middle of the defense.

And yet we repeatedly put the ball in the hands of a freshman transfer.

I know this team has the entire conference season ahead of them, but if the coaches don’t put their egos aside, learn from the last three Saturdays have taught them, and start putting the best players on the field instead of their favorites, then we’re in for a lot more days like today.
I noticed the same things you have; you are 100% correct, at least re: Sneed and Eastwood. The only thing is, Sneed had virtually no time to pass; the pocket collapsed almost instantly. Not until in the 2nd half did he have any time to throw & did so well. But, he does overthrow deep balls.

Re: Eastwood, you're right on. I'll only mention an end zone view of an attempted Eastwood short yardage run. He was standing straight up in the hole, immediately held by the WIU D.

Still, what killed the Griz was the play in the last 5 min.: a TD on a kick return & a costly fumble, giving the ball to WIU deep into MT territory. I'm hoping the Griz realize they can't let up, even down to the last second of a game. Bobby can't control that. Nothing on him.
 
Ya'll are being dramatic. Had the Griz won today non of this would be an issue. Hindsight is such an easy way to insert your version of "shoulda, coulda, woulda" reality.

I respectfully disagree, MT. I would be discussing these things, win or loss. Because they are legitimate concerns. Win or lose today, the mistakes and issues we saw today — from poor coaching and play calling to penalties and turnovers to not having the best athletes on the field — will eventually cost us ballgames.

Bla bla bla is right. You don't have a clue. The team played very hard today and with a complete sense of urgency

Sneed is way better then Jensen.

Please, stop with your dumbass posting. You don' have a clue.

If you want to debate some points, be specific and I will debate you.

Where's the poor coaching, Everett? Both curious, and I know you don't have a clue about football. Let's discuss or debate the issues.
 
Chet_Ripley said:
Hauck Jr probably shouldn't see the field much more this season either. Speaking of playing favorites...

Oh, come on. He was the co-leading tackler, with 11, I think. He played well today.

The Griz didn't let up. The just made big mistakes late. Can't do that and win.

There's simply no getting around it. Also, I agree Eastwood doesn't appear to be a DI back. There were multiple opportunities for cut backs or the ability to pop off tackle for yards and he just bulldozes straight ahead. Vision is clearly a problem, and I've to see any athleticism that makes up for it.

Sneed though multiple good long balls. Did you know see the one to the 1, which was negated by a holding penalty?

Eastwood isn't D-I back? Now that's pretty funny. He was recruited to FBS SDS, and then brought t D-1 MT by Hauck, and is the starting rb for the Griz. Yet, you think he's not a D-I back.

Do you even know how to put shoulder pads on?
 
HelenaHandBasket said:
It is nice to find out that Hauck is knowingly not trying to win games by fielding the best team. Sounds like a solid coach.

Hauck's goal is to win the conference, by playing all 2d team players.

I certainly have no inside knowledge of anything like this, but as an outside observer I do believe it is evident that both Sneed and Eastwood are playing ahead of others that could perform better. Would love to see how Cam does, but not sure that will happen. And Eastwood is clearly not the answer. When Stitt was accused of this, the outrage seemed much louder.

Oh, please. Sneed is the best QB on the team. Eastwood is pretty good. I like Calhoun better. I like Lee too.

I heard they ran out of pudding cups at the senior center so he's understandably upset. As a general rule, it's probably best just to ignore him.



Except for his fall camp practice reports where he takes the time to describe where he parked, who he saw, where the players got off the bus. Those are hysterically adorable and are a must-read.

He sincerely believes he is part of the team. In his mind, Player Rep is representing his fellow players. That's why he takes it so personally when anything critical is said about the coaches and players.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure the poor guy had a stroke or something because he's clearly not all there. So, please go easy on him!

Eastwood isn't D-I back? Now that's pretty funny. He was recruited to FBS SDS, and then brought t D-1 MT by Hauck, and is the starting rb for the Griz. Yet, you think he's not a D-I back.

Do you even know how to put shoulder pads on?

Sneed did not throw multiple good deep balls. He missed about 90% of them. To suggest otherwise is either ignorance or blatant lying (in your case likely both). And no, no one saw the pass down to the 2 negated by yet ANOTHER penalty because of the shitty broadcast.

Yes, Eastwood was recruited to SDSU. And of course we all know there’s NEVER any mistakes in recruiting. That’s why Mariano and Colt received so many offers from USC and Bama and Auburn. Wait. What? Well, fuck.

As for aholder pads, yes I can put them on. Need help getting some into your blouses?

I agree. Mining doesn't have a clue about the game, or the game of football.

ummm....haven't you said the same thing about grizindabox and 96% of the other posters on the board? :lol: :lol: :lol:
I heard they ran out of pudding cups at the senior center so he's understandably upset. As a general rule, it's probably best just to ignore him.

Except for his fall camp practice reports where he takes the time to describe where he parked, who he saw, where the players got off the bus. Those are hysterically adorable and are a must-read.

He sincerely believes he is part of the team. In his mind, Player Rep is representing his fellow players. That's why he takes it so personally when anything critical is said about the coaches and players.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure the poor guy had a stroke or something because he's clearly not all there. So, please go easy on him!

Agree; the game was determined by a punt return and a fumble after reception - so that brings up this?
