Coach D

[HighLineGRIZ]

What we need is a foundation of dicipline and accountability. Delaney is the perfect guy to build that culture and he's doing a great job of that. Hopefully Griz fans can show that they aren't just concerned about winning and will support our program win or lose. For me, I'm looking more forward to repairing our reputation as a class program than contending for championships.

Coach Delaney has my 100% support. We also had 2 losses in first four games last year. 2010 was a non playoff year. Coach Glenn lost his first to Hofstra..gasp at home..think if he had been thrown under the bus. Won't mention that other guy from 2003-2009, don't want to start a shit storm.

Did you see the same empty stadium I saw with 4 minutes to go in the game?
Sorry but it didn't give me too much of a warm fuzzy......

The same amount of people LEFT the South Dakota game with five minutes left and the Griz up 17. What is it with people just now noticing and bitching about things Wash-Griz crowds have been doing for 20 years?? A large contingent of fans head to the parking lots early at Wash-Griz anytime a game isn't going down to the wire, and it doesn't matter if the Griz are up or down by 20. People leaving early on Saturday was nothing new and it's not an indication of fans change in attitude towards the Griz.

I admire a guy that could have rode of into the sunset and played golf everyday coming back to help out a program that he is very fond of. He did it to help UM not to stoke his ego or further his career. He is doing exactly what the administration has asked - clean up the shit storm and keep things moving forward.

I doubt that there is anyone around that is more disappointed in the two losses - and no one will be more disappointed if there are more losses, than the entire staff and players. They continue to work hard and make no excuses.

Naps & alzheimers??? At 69, the guy puts in more hours than most of us.

There is a lot of season left. In the NAU game, out of the 44 guys that played, 24 of them were freshmen and sophmores. Another 12 were juniors. The Griz will get better this season and next.

You realize theat they close Campus drive for anywhwere from 30 -45 minutes after the game and if you are parked there you can't get out. If you have other places to be, if the game is clearly decided..... Do you spend 45 minute in the parking lot (a DRY 45 minuter) to watch meaningless runs up the middle and victory formations??? This is just ONE of many things gone to s*** of late.

Look at the shitstorm caused by paying out Phlu, there's still people on this board who think that he hit the "payout" jackpot for how he was canned. Nobody is firing Coach D before his contract is up, I just don't see it.

Like I have said, this will be KH's decision. If KH thinks that having a "lame duck" coach hurts recruiting, he will "pay off " Delaney's contract in a New York minute.

"Lame duck" coaches do hurt recruiting without a doubt.

Kids want to know who they will be working with and what to expect in general.

Lame duck? He has a long history with Montana football & coaching in general. He's the Coach this year & next year, that doesn't make him a lame duck. You're right. We should call Bobby Petrino rigt now so we can get in on the whole "cheating on yor family, wrecking on a motorcycle with a grad assistant" scenario.

You are missing the point Griz-O-Matic. Being a "lame duck" has nothing to do with Delaney's reputation, his coaching acumen or the fact that he has been a long time coach in the state of Montana. After the 2012 football season, unfortunately, Mick Delaney is a "lame duck". If he is still employed by the U of M as their Head Coach after the 2012 season, Delaney will be recruiting high school seniors/JC transfers while he has only one year of coaching left on his contract. Hence the term. What top prospect will commit to a football program knowing that the head coach will be there for one of the recruit's four years? It is nothing personal against Coach Deleany. It's just the way it is.

 

[wbtfg]

Didn't he sign a 2-year deal.

 

[Cats2506]

has it been determined that he wont have his contract extended?

Jesus-H-Griz-O-Matic. Take a little time and put the Vaseline down and google "lame duck". Here's the Wiki page d-bag....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lame_duck_%28politics%29" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There hasn't been a Coach in the history of coaching that hasn't or will have recruited "...high school seniors/JC transfers while he has only one year of coaching left on his contract." You either fulfill your contract or you get canned, or die or quit. You make it sound like Coach D is incapable of recruiting top prospects because he only has a 2 year contract, you obviously have never met the man. He will not leave the program in worse shape than he found it. I know you say "It's just the way it is." That's not true, that is not the way it is.

Obviously, if Montana extends his contract after his current two year deal, he won't be a "lame duck". I don't
if that has been decided yet or not.

I don't know if it's the concept you don't get or the math. But seriously, you are funny.

 

[Griz-O-Matic]

I get the concept & math dumbass. I'ts that you & Jokyo called Coach D a lame duck, when he's not. Now spit, rinse & go to bed. It's been a long day.

 

[cclarkblues]

So when BH signed a series of one year contracts, he was a perpetual "lame duck"?

Apparently, I heard he wrecked the Caddy.

 

[blondeh2o]

I'm liking this guy more and more.

I'm officially starting the Mick Delaney bandwagon thread.

Who's jumping on board?

Does anyone remember this thread? It was posted shortly after the "moral victory" at ASU. Wow! Not one egrizzer
posted a comment. If this doesn't speak volumes about what Griz fans think of Mick Delany, I don't know what does!

Delaney was hired to put lipstick on a pig.

Yeah, but its your pig :thumb:

It is our pig and we'll stand behind him- no matter the outcome. :thumb:
