Coach's show?

[garizzalies]

As noted several times already, "the point" was to answer the ground swell of questions from Griz nation re why the O was so conservative vs UNI.

Because "last year ...?" WTF does "last year" have to do with it?

If "the O was conservative on Saturday because last year the team was divided" is really an "answer" then Stitt has a problem. Not just "small" and "unnecessary" but "incoherent."

I don't think your convolutions trying to 'splain are doing much 'splainin. Rather, drilling a hole.

Maybe the play-calling got conservative because the team is more united this year. Or, maybe the team is more united last Saturday because the offense didn't fail to convert on 4th down as much and didn't turn the ball over.

Yes Thats basically what he said. You're finally getting it.
The offense didn't have to press because the D just did its job
Good to see you coming around

What's the eGriz record for consecutive posts?

What's the egriz record for consecutive non-substantive posts by the same poster? I think you have it.

Well if that's true, where's my little pony? Can a brother get a motherfucking pony?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Brint is the keeper of the motherfucking ponies.

The fallacy is that the defense did its job last year (much of the time), and I can't imagine that the offense would press because a defensive player or two said something to them. Pressing would more likely come from the offensive coaches and play-calling.

And for the record. I am all for team unity and players' buy-in to coaches. However, in my view, that comes from multiple factors, and one side of the ball not commenting negatively to the other side of the ball during games would be way down that list. Coaches need to earn the respect and confidence of players, and that largely comes from how things are presented to players and the players receiving that what the coaches are telling them is working and improving things. It's not good to have players at each others throats. I heard nothing about that last year, and doubt that it occurred, other than perhaps a rare flare up.

In talking with Kent Haslam recently he is VERY happy with our teams play so far this season. He agreed with me about how excited I was about coach Semore and his defense. He did not comment about Gregorak and neither did I. Time to move on.

Precisely. Stitt has no business continually creating this innuendo. If he is feeling some heat, imaginary or otherwise, about "0" points in a half, blaming last year's "team unity" or lack thereof is, as I originally noted, both "small" and pointless. Babbling on about how this year's defense keeps the offense off the field so it won't turn over the ball and lose the game is just weird coming from an offensive coordinator.

Team unity is a natural plus. Until Stitt brought it up, it was never an issue with the Montana Griz. Cat's, yes. Not the Griz. On the other hand, these are young strong smart guys and if parts of a team aren't carrying their share, OF COURSE they are going to feel strongly about it. Dam it, they should. Turning them into a bunch of emasculated sheep isn't a solution; it's a curse. You want these guys to be fired up about the team and its success. When Alex Bienemann blew up at Mick Delaney, it was a cringe moment, but everyone pretty much understood why at the time.

I too doubt that there was this problem last year. If it was, that has nothing to do with this year, IF what the coach says is even true. This notion that a DII coach was surprised that the team assembled in the locker room and the defense sat together on one side and the offense together on the other side is just bullshit. That's pretty much the natural way they seat for meetings everywhere. There is no subliminal message of "team divisions" nor dark implications of player dissent and rebellion. I have no idea why this crap is being hinted at repeatedly this year in QB club, press conferences, and coach shows, and that "coach" is solving the problem by creating, as he brags, a "silent defense" that does not somehow offend his ears, if in fact they ever did. I've never heard a coach talk like that before. Coaches earn respect, they can't order it. ""Shut up" he explained," is not a solution to whatever "problem" this coach seems to perceive, an elusive "problem" to just about everyone else.

It's just weird that he makes an issue in the first place. This is this year's team. Not last year's. WTF is the point of those continuing comments and innuendoes?

There was friction last season between Stitt and TG. This friction was noticeable to the players. How this impacted the players, I can't say for sure. Stitt made changes last year in an attempt to alleviate any issue. TG is no longer a coach at UM. Comments are that things are more harmonious this season for whatever reason.

End Thread.

He needs to stop yapping about it at every opportunity. It has nothing to do with why the offense scored "0" points in a half, THIS YEAR, although he tries to make some odd connection. It is just pointless, and he paints himself as a somewhat small-minded and vindictive individual by continual allusions to "it." There is no positive purpose to bringing it up, but he can't seem to "zip it" on the topic.

Who is the D2 coach you speak of?

He can talk about team unity all he wants, especially since he believes it is a big reason for success. What needs to happen is for people to quit assuming that he is getting at something else by supposedly "reading between the lines". People just need to let it go.

He ain't the only one!

Hmmm, seems like very sound advice, 75.

 

[EverettGriz]

Hahaha! Beat me to it, AWF!!

BS. Coach needs to "let it go." This is another "wow, coach discovered that team unity is a big reason for success" moment that some egriz fans continue to marvel at, apparently arguing that the Griz had a horrible season last year and that "Cal Poly" was because of "lack of team unity" but that after bravely "making changes last year" the problem was solved as shown at NDSU, and that somehow when Stitt says that the defense, because of being "silent," kept the "offense off of the field" because the "offense" would have turned the ball over and lost the game and that "silence" was the key to victory whereas running an offense would have been the key to defeat.

It's not reading "between" any lines, it's reading and hearing the specific and nearly incomprehensible words used by the coach.

Holy fukc, and 75 wonders why people thinks he has an agenda.

Holy fukc, and 75 wonders why people thinks he has an agenda.

My view is that 75 has views, sometimes strong views, and is willing to provide back-up and debate those who take a different view. After some of those others are unable to counter 75's views and arguments, then they, including yourself on occasion, resort to declaring his views and an "agenda". It happens all the time on egriz. Posters who run out of arguments, resort to using buzz words. Stalker, name-dropper, agenda, etc.

By the way, I agreed with a few things you said in this thread.

@75 - I presume you understand that you are inferring what he intends. You are just guessing. You must be able to see that...? And if not then I just wasted 30 seconds typing this.

Wasted seconds. Agenda drivers have blinders except for rear-view mirrors. You'll see what i mean in mere minutes.
