Bob Stitt has Earned a New Contract

I mean, he admitted he was wrong, right?
But even then, I’d wager it’s better than being stuck in that Dan Moore-sized *whole*. :lol:

Let’s touch base after the season. Easy to smirk when we’re 0-0. :thumb:

Yeah. I believed that BEFORE the Scat game. AFTER? Not so much. Nice to know you’ve never had a change of heart, 27. I swear I’ve never seen a group of people work so fucking hard to prove somebody wrong. You all should seek counseling. I’m dead serious. I appear to be one of the few who’ve moved on from Stitt.

The answer to this is NO.

Oh yeah, it’s a riot. I make a post about virtually anything and get to start the stop watch counting the seconds until someone responds calling me a Stitt lover or a Hauck hater, derailing virtually every thread. It’s a blast. Get that counseling. Seriously.

AZ - perhaps you should just back off your defense a little. While I was never a great Stitt supporter it may be entirely possible that you were correct in your initial premise that a coaching change isn't the ultimate fix. So you can just save up these gotcha posts for 3 years and then really come back hard. And for the record I think it is time for some of you (JCU for example) to quit trying to extract your pound of flesh from AZ and move on.
Two posts I made on Nov. 12. Nailed that one.

My view is that a contract now combined with a Cat game loss and not making playoffs, would cause Haslam to be run out of town. Why take the risk. He could quietly give that message now, without offering or announcing, I suppose. Not sure why that would be a good idea at this point either. The coaches don’t need a vote of confidence at this point of season. Can’t imagine Stitt would be planning to take a new job now, and decide to stay because he got a contract this week as opposed to next week. The coaches must know that Stitt won’t be fired if Griz beat Cats and (presumably) make playoffs.
"Anyone who thinks it will be easy for Haslam to offer a 3-year, or even 2-year, contract if the Griz were to get clobbered by the Cats and not make the playoffs, doesn’t understand the Griz fan base and the amount of pressure that would be out on Haslam. Nor do they understand the importance of the Cat game to much of the fan base and virtually all former players."

You see, whether Bobby is the answer to fix things is not the issue here. The problem with re-hiring Stitt is that he has an 18-year history of mediocrity as a head coach demonstrating that he was NOT the answer, and should be replaced. If Hauck fails, it will have no bearing on any decision to give Stitt more time to Fcuk-up the program more than he already did. As has been so eloquently stated .... "doing the same thing, but expecting different results" is the definition of insanity...... which is what re-hiring Stitt would have qualified as.
KNOWN: Bob Stitt was incapable of returning Montana to a national elite team
UNKNOWN: Whether Bobby Hauck is capable of returning Montana to a national elite team
