Bob Stitt has Earned a New Contract

[garizzalies]

So if Stitt gets destroyed by the cats this weekend, he will have been bounced from the playoffs twice in a row by the worst cat teams in a generation, and you guys would reward him for that? And some would even make it 3years? WTF? This place is a bipolar echo chamber.

If the Hauck years are your bar, then Delaney is as much a failure as Stitt.

If we do lose I say make it a 1 year extension. I'm all ears as to who we should hire instead that wouldn't result in yet another setback in getting the program back to contending for national titles. And don't say Hauck cause it's not happening.

Nope. No failure at all. Delaney came into a tough situation, much moreso that Stitt. Delaney didn't have JJ, who was charged in early August that year and not allowed to play. Don't think any of the other qb's on the roster had any experience at all. Think that's right. With JJ, Delaney would have made the playoffs. I did a game by game analysis one time, showing the multiple other games UM would have won with JJ. Delaney made the playoffs the next 2 years and beat the Cats, finishing the season ranked no. 12 the last year, and no. 8 the prior year. Wish the Griz had beaten Coastal, but Coastal was a very good team and played their best game of the season (according to my team doctor buddy who came to the game). I'm fine with the Delaney years.

If we win and get into the playoffs and have a nice showing i'm ok giving him an extension. Lose to the Cats though and don't make the playoffs two years in a row though, we cannot accept that with the tradition and history of our program. He has more to work with than 95% of FCS coaches, no excuse to lose to the cats two years in a row and even worse miss the playoffs. So long story short i'd wait till the end of the season and evaluate the progress of the program and how well we can do next year.

Do you seriously think we'll get "destroyed" by the Cats? Of course we could lose the game if we play like we did against Weber, but I think it's pretty unlikely the Cats could "destroy" anybody, much less the Griz. So as usual, things aren't quite so black and white.

Ok.

We’ve been around this before, but I could drag up the posts I made a while back that show they’re pretty comparable.

Stitt beat some good teams, but has lost to some bad teams.

Delaney beat a bunch of bad teams, didn’t really lose to any bad teams, and lost to pretty much every good team he played in three years.

This is the first year under Stitt that he hasn’t lost to a bad team (yet), and if he beats Bozeman, that’s a pretty big upward trend from years before.

Drag them up--and I'll pick em apart. As of today, they are not comparable at all. Again, nos. 12 and 8 in the nation. Not top 25 as of today. Possible bubble team even at 8-3. In Delaney's last 2 years, lost to EWU 3 times, NDSU, Wyo., Coastal, CP and NAU. No shame there.

I cannot wait to see this place when the Cats beat the Griz AND Schtick keeps his job. Inferno.

The worst cat teams in generations? Earl Solomonson ring a bell?

"I did a game by game analysis one time, showing the multiple other games UM would have won with JJ"

With exceptional due diligence and scientific research, I'm sure.

That reminds me of the Player quote ~ "it's about the strength of teams the Griz almost beat."

Meh, I don't think it will be that bad. If the Griz lose, don't make the playoffs, and bring Stitt back; I don't think anybody will be surprised. They might not like it, but it's not like we haven't been thinking about it before and realize the different coaching scenarios based off the outcome of this week. Sure, some will be upset, but there have been plenty of "fire Stitt" threads already this year.

I believe the bigger problem could arise from a close Griz win, and a loss in the playoffs. THAT would induce some strong opinions and tense discussion.

Either way, win or lose, Stitt or no Stitt, we will still love our Griz.

 

[Kabooom]

One trend both the Cats and Griz both seem share this year is on first and 2nd down...making decent defensive plays on their opponent maybe a tackle for loss...followed by fist pumps galore/celebration, only to get exposed for a first down on 3rd and long. (Like hitting off the tee 260 down the middle, followed by a decent approach shot to the green.....only to 3 putt...Maybe save the celebration till 4th down is achieved.

Did Delaney beat SDSU,NDSU,UNI,or EWU while he was here??? Can't remember??
Mick came in and righted the ship good on him. I liked Mick too. I just think Stitt has done a damn fine job considering he has not had a starting QB all year any of his three years. Beat Nau with 4th string QB.
His offense is producing in a big way and Defense seems to have turned the corner.
Next year Montana could be seeded going in to the playoffs and people want to blow everything up and start over.

Delaney hardly righted the ship. He barely kept it afloat thanks to Jordan Johnson.

No but anything is possible, especially in this game. I believe they destroyed us last year, at least physically.
You’re the one being black/white saying he’s earned it already. Assume they come flat like the first half of Dweeber and the second half of ewho, and get destroyed. You still extending?

Dropped from #8 to #12 the following year. See, the slide had already begun.

Reading comp is hard!
I didn’t use the plural form as you did. “A generation” is about 20years. I believe there was one or two worse cat teams in that approximate period, but the last two cat teams have sucked ass comparatively

#Fakenews. Bobcats are DEAD LAST (50.3%) in opponent 3rd down conversion rate, while Griz are 5th in a 13-team league. And as a bonus, Montana is 2nd in opponents 4th down conversion rate (just over 35%), while the 'scats are 9th, allowing 4th down conversions at almost 60% clip. Have they given up a few 3rd & long's? Sure...especially to EWU in the 2nd half...but it hasn't been a glaring problem.
