Coach Stitt (Combined threads)

You do know the Big Sky plays an 8-game conference schedule right? They wouldn't have been 1-8 anyways.

Yes, and if you weren't so busy trying to play "gotcha" you would have noticed I also referred to UNC's season conference record as "4-4" with the win over Montana. You are trying strenuously to argue who was in the bottom half of tournament rankings. Get it?

I wasn't playing gotcha. I was just trying to help, because you love stats and have such an impeccable attention for detail.

That was obviously because it was, in fact, correctly stated elsewhere. With your awesome attention to detail, how did you miss that, and why do you so consistently miss the howling egregious errors of your small group of acolytes who desperately want to censor any discussion of actual facts on this forum in favor of promoting an outright lie?

Are you busily writing and calling Coach Stitt to warn him of the "error?"

Think it will do any good?

Have you called Coach Stitt about HIS long list of, by your standards, "errors?" It seems like with your arrogant assertions of "error" on this important point, you would be anxious to set the record straight for the ... Coach himself. After all, he announced publicly that it will be absorbing the time and energies of his entire staff until opening kickoff. His Press Conference statement was the exact opposite of the false claims of the "moderator" who has been working overtime to censor and falsify both the actual record and the Coach's own publicly stated position on this.

I doubt it.

They say you shouldn't take your work home with you.....I think the same mentality should be applied to message boards.

To you lawyers out here, while I can certainly appreciate emasculate attention to detail....this is a message board for football fans. Chiiiiilllllll

Shoot, I know which one you're talking about. I can't think of what it is.

75, they and I only post in defense of Coach Stitt. That it is a "current issue" is only because you make it so. Altho I respect your posts, I'd like to know what evidence you have to dispute ari's explanation of the Griz's late season collapse, last year, an incredible phenomenon to me and many others. It's been a mystery, until ari cleared it up w/ a plausible explanation. What evidence do you have to refute it, and please be as specific as ari was in what he said.

What evidence do you or Ari have that the explanation had anything to do with the decline, let alone caused it? Is that why you think the Cats ran all over the Griz?

I think "Ari" presented his evidence of the cause of the Griz collapse last season, very well. No, the burden is on you to refute that with like evidence.

For those who need a referesher, and who recall that, in fact, one of the "moderators" has been strenuously attempting to censor the actual news, here is the specific, original cite from the Missoulian newspaper:

http://missoulian.com/sports/college/montana/stitt-takes-blame-for-disappointing-griz-football-season/article_5d8a80ec-4656-5b31-8a68-5fa2bd7831de.html

With a crushing loss to the rival Bobcats still weighing him down, Bob Stitt settled behind a lone microphone to address the eager media for his post-season press conference Monday. With a half-dozen cameras rolling and a horde of reporters and nearly the entire Montana athletic department front office present, Stitt began trying to explain Montana's disappointing football season.

Stitt faced the firing squad for a half hour and accepted blame for the Grizzlies' eighth-place finish in the Big Sky Conference – a 6-5 campaign that stalled after a promising 5-1 start – and the team's exclusion from the FCS playoffs.

"There's a lot of reasons why things don't go right but ultimately it's me," said Stitt, the Grizzlies' second-year head coach. "It's me. I've got to get it done."

Stitt discussed his plans for a rebound season in 2017. Between now and Sept. 2, 2017, when the Griz kick off against Valparaiso at home, Stitt said he and his staff will reassess everything about the program.

From the coaching staff and how they coach, to the schemes they run and their personnel.

"I've done a lot of thinking and soul searching and we're going to look at every little aspect of what we do," Stitt said. "Me as a manager managing them and every aspect of the program.

"... Internally it eats at me and eats at me and eats at me. I cannot sleep at night and I cannot enjoy anything unless our players are successful. That's what drives me, is helping these guys be successful. Winning is something you expect. Losing is something that's just so much harder and we can't do it anymore. We can't fail and we've got to work harder because you're terrified to not succeed."

"Did we put too much on 'em? I'm looking at everything and I'm gonna make sure I'm not putting these guys in a position to fail, that what we want to do on offense the guys are able to do," Stitt said.

The Griz lost four of their final five games, including three on the road, culminating in a 24-17 loss to Montana State this past Saturday that made sure Montana missed the postseason for the first time since 2012 and the third time in the past seven years.

The skid and the way the games played out has Stitt taking a microscope to his program to find areas that need improving. The pressures of coaching at Montana – which from 1993-2009 never missed a postseason and played in seven national title games with two championships – are obvious and Stitt is aware of the criticism being heaped his way after the Grizzlies' dispiriting season.

No, Ari presented no evidence. He presented a theory. Until you or someone provides evidence, then please don't ask anyone for evidence to disprove the theory. Again, the players I have talked to have not backed up Ari's theory, nor has the one defensive starter/leader I talked to agreed with the rumor about one particular defensive player.

 

[Spanky]

Oh my, criticism of the coach! What terrible people Stitt was aware of at the time. I can't imagine that it was allowed.

I've seen this article too many times for anyone to be censoring you.

 

[Spanky]

Well, it seems Stitt didn't have anything to do with the 8th place finish last year. Now, that it has been explained by many on this board, we realize the lousy year is the fault of one player. Good to have the matter cleared up.

[ordigger]

To many people are hung up on how we did last year, how we did compared to this coach, or that coach. How we did last year in conference. How we did 25 years ago. How Stitt did at CSOM. How last years seniors performed. It goes on and on and on. Somehow one vital fact seems to be missing....

It was LAST year. Has no bearing on this year. Different team, different players, different philosophy (per Stitt's own comments), different coaches, etc.

This should be a very good team this year......and it has nothing to do with last year. The past is the past.

LET IT GO!

75- Well I tried.. its obvious that you did not read my last post.

No, after issuing your list of demands and denials, then you do a "180" and try and sound all moderate and understanding. The fact is, you have admitted to trying to distort the historical record to favor your views, you have blocked more "threads" discussing any "contrary" history than at any time in the history of this "discussion" forum, and done so with the pretext and false claim that you have been attempting to steer this forum away from "false news" or "old news." In fact, you have been attempting by your tactics to be the primary purveyor of false news by overt censorship and distortion and then, when caught outright at it, claim to be the victim: "nobody will LISTEN to me!"

The fact is, you were caught in a ham-handed effort to censor important news about the Griz by claiming it was fake news. We now know that to be false. It is important and ongoing news -- just as Coach Stitt acknowledged publicly even as you have been trying to contract UM's Head Coach at every turn.
