Decision made

[jcglfer]

If true then Stitt ran over Haslam....which means Haslam should be fired for letting a coach be the one to make the decisions following very disappointing seasons. That is very poor leadership

Well, it is likely not true. Seriously, someone is trolling big time here. Nobody, other than a select few know what will happen. Don't buy into this crap.

You are correct that only a select few know. Where you are wrong is saying “what will happen.” It’s already happened. Those who have close ties to the program will hear about this in the coming days. The idea is to let the news leak slowly(why do you think I posted). Everyone realizes that tempers are hot right now but what’s right for the program is not to make a crazy and rash decision. Once the wheels have been greased a bit an official announcement will be made.

As far as the discussion, Bob didn’t run over anyone. He made a simple point that recruits want some sort of stability, hence the two years. But he is also willing to put his money where his mouth is and accept that if those two years don’t bear fruit he’ll be in trouble. He is so sure of the programs direction he agreed to what would be a very low buyout for year 3. It was a fair deal for both sides. Coach has the time to finish this project and show the Griz faithful his vision while offering an out for the athletic department if he doesn’t come through. Of course he wants the power to make football decisions, like who is on his staff, that is what a head coach does.

sound like another snake oil salesman..

If you have to talk your way into a contract, that’s not a good sign. Stitt may be a great guy and offensive mind, but it’s clear as day that he’s not the coach that will take the Griz to the level they should be. If you’re going to higher a lower division coach, you get a guy who is a winner...national championship winner. Stitts record aT CSM is just ok. I don’t care that he had limitations there, not our problem. Coaches that aren’t winners don’t magically turn into winners at a higher division school. He’s like Sark at UW...recruits skill positions great but can’t build the program.

Hiring a new coach will not set the program back years...a new coach, presumably better, would have a better record next year than Stitt and would continuously improve. The defense looks poorly coached and when the O is stymied, Stitt has absolutely no answers.

Have we seen any halftime adjustments on either side of the ball? Ever?

 

[HookedonGriz]

so you can say 100% that the MAJORITY of big boosters are ready for a coaching change and want Stitt out. Looking forward to that answer.

No wonder. You can't read. What does "The several I know" mean to you? Go back and try common core.

Here's some common core for you:

You know "several" who want a change (sounds serious). Let's say your several make up at a maximum 10% of large booster money. Do you think Haslam is going to risk the 90% of large booster dollars who don't want a change for the few who do. Talk about making idiotic decisions. This one will be easy for him. I'm not saying I agree 100% with it but ihes not afraid to make several boosters pick up their marbles and go home. If that's what they choose then I'd argue they aren't very good Griz fans to begin with.

Yeah, we probably have extra money around and won't miss it or the weaker season ticket renewal. I think you have no idea of the impact. I think it will be substantial and a problem. Read that carefully, please.

Our budgets are so tight and dollars are so huge that there will be impact either way. I'm with you that any dollars loss will hurt. But it's a tough spot for Haslam. I heard from a reliable source that our biggest booster of all (Washington family) is very much in Stitt's corner. How do you risk that one. Like I said, these decisions will have consequences either way, which will have bigger ones is the real question.

Boom
One happened yesterday and one year ago.
One was 10 years ago .

OUCH!

That’s the point. Comparing the headlines that are 10 years apart. Get it?

Oh , I'm picking up what your throwing down .Mr Canoe
The relevancy is lost on the time though .
( Spicoli voice from Fast Times at Ridgmont High )I remember this one time like 20 years ago some Griz players got busted at party and they got suspended from the team .

You are dead wrong about the Washington's being Stitt supporters. And they aren't a fan of Haslam's as well. Haslam had nothing to do with the Champions center money coming from Kyle and Kevin.

Is this a college football program or a winery...If a nonperforming football coach can negotiate a deal like this with University officials, on wonder the UM is struggling like it is

And I'm still waiting, tick tock tick tock !!!
Seriously though I have property for sale , you'd really like it !

Not sure I understand your post. What are you waiting for?

just heard they have agreed to extend Stitt for two seasons with a 3rd season buyout at a reduced rate if he doesn’t produce. Stitt refused to accept a one year deal or to allow any outside influence over who was part of his staff. 

I’m glad he stood his ground. This is what is best for the program. Two years from now we will be extending him again. I think he’ll put together a deep playoff run next year or the year after.

I hope your source is not reputable. There will be a revolt among the program's best supporters. If Kent thinks he can smooze them to bring them back into the fold, he's wrong. Money will be tight so all you Stitt supporters better start sending in your checks.

I disagree. My info comes from one of the programs biggest supporters who fully supports Stitt and does not want to see us start fresh with a new staff.

Yeah, will wait and see . Only a complete fool would agree to those terms with the position Stitt is in . He doesn't have that much leverage !
Fucking stupid

Reasons not to believe any of this:
1. Buyout-Stitt has done nothing to deserve it and certainly nothing that would give him that leverage
2. An AD allowing a, so far less than good, HC dictate terms
3. This is in no way “what is best for the program”
4. You said “deep playoff” run in reference to Stitt clearly indicating that you don’t know anything about football

 

[snap]

There's no doubt in my mind that Stitt voted for Hillary.

But don,t forget there is fruit to bear and a vision involved by a failing coach :lol:

Are you miffed that Trump has never tried to grab your pussy? Or that Roy Moore didn't stalk your wife when she was a teenager? Leave this sh*t out of the football forum. Thanks!

Stitt's tenure as coach has been a disaster. If he gets a contract renewal, we have officially entered clown world.

IT Happens

 

[grizatwork]

I would consider myself a mid level donor. I never once considered withholding my donations to get what I want. I consider my donations too important to be subject to my emotions. To each his own, but I am an alumni, fan, and booster who doesn't feel any of that entitles me to a special place at the table. I have strong feelings about things that happened yesterday, but it Haslam's job to separate the emotions from decision making process. I am willing to let him do his job.
