Cuts Happening?

Welcome to D1 football, coach. Time to start acting like a professional D1 coach.
Stitt has got to stop expecting the media to do as he says. A media member filming highlights from practice IS NOT going to lose you any games. So stupid... Fighting the media is a losing battle.
He could learn a thing or two from coach Klieman over in Fargo.

Honestly....who cares if he closes practice....what is the big deal if he sheds some players....the media doesn't need to know everything....or be in on things...

Not sure he is fighting....I think he is just standing his ground...

This. My guess is Colter thinks twice next time before he pushes "send" or "post" or "twit" or whatever he pushed to be the first to get what he thought was legitimate information out there.

Stitt just goes down to the All Amercan player store and gets 3 qbs, 4 offensive lineman, 3 top WRs, 2 running backs. Get real.

Alpha keep his streak of never being right on anything involving Griz football. Some quotes from him on Pflug from 3 prior posts.
"Pflug is better than JJ right now and his ceiling is still being designed"
"Pflug out of high school is already better than JJ was as a sophomore."
"Pflug is the best. Hands down. He moved the ball down feild quicker than any of the QBs this weekend."

Not to hard to believe. Look at how the guy has handled himself this year. Perhaps there really is a reason he was Colorado School of Mines so long. I don't know, but I would not be surprised if 2-3 years from now this has become the Pat Kennedy hire for football.
While I feel sorry for players getting bad news, and know that it is usually very upsetting to them and their families, it does occur--especially when new coaches come in. My view is that giving them an indication now, or even cutting them, is a humane way to do it. They don't have to go through all the winter early morning workouts and spring ball. They can look for a new program sooner, if they want. They can move out of their apartments now, and don't have to come back in January.
I'm surprised by some of the news, and assumed some of these guys had potential. I'm sure all or a number of them will do well at their next place if they want to keep playing. And for some, it will be nice just to kick back, be a fulltime student, and have some fun--either here or elsewhere. College sports, especially football, is such a huge commitment.
I wish them all the best. I enjoyed reading about them, seeing them play, and seeing them practice. I hope they had many good experiences while they were at UM and in the program.

PR, well said. I too feel sorry for the players who got cut. In Pflug's case, I know he really loved Montana, and, he gave up a half year of high school for this program. Really a raw deal for him. Honestly, and selfishly, I would absolutely love to see him go to Southern Oregon, so I can watch him a couple of times in Havre, and see him win an NAIA national title there. He is absolutely perfect for that program and he would eat the Frontier alive.
Having said that, after listening to Stitt today, and looking over the Griz roster pretty closely, and taking into account that the Griz are still on a schollie reduction, I have no problem with Stitt making cuts. He wants to bring in more transfers for the D-line and O-Line. I'm sure they already have some guys on the hook. They need full rides for transfers. It's the only way they can come to Montana. I don't know if it will work out, but that's his plan, and I respect his plan. Obviously, it's a plan that isn't popular with those that got cut, with some of the current players, and with a lot of parents right now. But, it's his program, and he has the right to build it however he wants.

Pflug getting cut really surprises me. No on can question his commitment to the game of football having graduated hs early and enrolling here right away so he could get the hang of the college game right away and build relationships with the rest of the team.
Watch him end up at Eastern or on some other big sky conference team and light us up for the next four years. That would be karma.

Baldwin wanted him badly and that is one guy who has been successful at recruiting QBs. I wouldn't doubt that happening one bit. Yuck.
