15 seasons at Mines. ...1 playoff win yet got the UM job.......Haslam choked

Curious, who were the quality candidates that were passed over? (And don't say Hauck, not because he didn't win, but because the trouble that followed his players didn't mesh with the program direction.)

Jeff Choate?. He WANTED this job BADLY. lol

 

[alabamagrizzly]

This is Coach Stitts record. What are the indications he will perform beyond what he has already proven?

There are none.

There was a belief that he did that with inferior talent due to much higher academic standards and less athletic schollies at CSM. The hope was that given a far more athletically gifted team, he's unique coaching philosophy's would make us something special. I'm still withholding judgment and hoping he'll get this thing turned around. He has certainly brought in talent that is unprecedented here, at least where the rating systems come into play.

Unprecedented talented?? Please. No way.

Reading is fundamental. How many two and three star recruits did we get before Stitt? Do you know or do you just react?

Agree; lacking evidence to support such an outlandish statement.

Good catch. Let's pray for his/her sake and his/her family's sake that Horribilis throws the electronic devices away and never comes back again. Before the cravings and addiction take hold.

He was and is still an unproven commodity. 4-7 ? Please! You guys would be pissed as hell.

Don Read 154–127–1, 55% as college level head coach
Mick Dennehy 68–61, 53%
Joe Glenn 200–134–1 60%
Bobby Hauck is 95–67, 59%
Robin Pflugrad 18–7 72%
Mick Delaney 29–25–1, 54%
Bob Stitt 122/72 63%

About the only take away i get out of these numbers is that Stitt has a lot of head coach experience.

The one with the best record is the only one to get fired. RE said he wanted a new direction and I guess he got it. The Montana BOR is satisfied with less than mediocrity and RE seems to be passing that on down the line. At least we have some consistency.

My statement was based off the star system. I definitely don't feel it's 100% legit and that there may be a lot of kids missed that deserve stars(namely Montana kids in the past) but it is what it is and in the last two classes, Stitt and Co have brought in 27 2 and 3 star rated recruits. I'm pretty sure that level is "unprecedented" here.

The student-athletes at Mines can do this math WITHOUT USING A CALCULATOR! That's why they only have two playoff wins in 900 years.

Like the meme that coaches get better in their third and subsequent years in a program, the notion that a coach has not performed up to his capabilities because of lack of resources is always a fallacy because the lack of resources may not be the cause of the performance.

Not to sound like 75, but I have banging the lack of talent drum all season, but so many Griz fans can not take off the maroon glasses to take an unbiased look.

This is another reason why I wanted substitutes to play. Yes, even 4th stringers....

That doesn't explain why Coach Ben Stitt is 1-479 in the playoffs for the last twelve decades. His student-athletes were minors, and he turned them into miners who drove mining trains straight into early exits. Why, he couldn't coach himself out of a cold and loud paper bag. He could eat five Denny's Moons Over My Hammies and still not make deep runs.
