Delaney's OUTSTANDING 2013 recruiting class ALONE proves he is a great coach...

Follow that up with a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RUN this seaason and next...

And you crybabies will have egg on your face.

Just because a coach can recruit doesn't make him a great coach. Know the difference before you start talking. :roll:

No, I just think he is a great football coach. A tremendous leader and mentor.

I really think 2013 will be a fun year to watch Griz football. Hope I am right...

Well, you do certainly seem to be in the minority with that view. Just curious, what FACTS can you state that prove he's a good coach??? Being a "tremendous leader" doesn't mean shit if you can't win football games. Listen, I hope for our sake as fans that he does well this season too, but what do you see in his 30+ year coaching career that makes "great" coaching material??? I ask because no other school (save for 1 less than spectacular season at powerhouse Western) in the nation deemed him fit to lead their program during his entire tenure. He ended up with this job by default, literally, and that is a fact. We were all pleasantly surprised by his recruiting class this year, but recruiting is only one facet in a very complex job. That's like buying a dog and saying its great just because it doesn't piss on the carpet.

Anything less than a total turn around and he should be gone. This team has enough talent to succeed in spite of the coaching regardless...

Wow! Delaney as a great football coach and a tremendous leader and mentor? What is that opinion based on?

HIs 44 years of players testimonials, and almost 42 years of my own personal experience knowing the man.

Not a very intuitive opinion....

Time has yet to tell...

Every coach in America will tell you that recruiting is the #1 thing that a great coach must be able to do. So know that before you mouth-breathe again.

Then keep him on for recruiting and let his coaches call the plays, and instill some aggressiveness. 2012 season was comical with many coaching errors. I can only speak for myself. I am giving him support this season, and see what happens. If this team improves like Pflu's did from year 1 to year 2, I will support a contract extension. If we see what seen last year, it makes no sense to keep him aboard, unless Engstrom really does not care about the football program (which I do find hard to believe).

Delaney was a crucial to FBS Colorado State University for 15 years! Even his famous coaching buddy Sonny Lubick (Butte - Homer) will tell you that. But you don't know that, you don't know what Mick has done. You just look for head coaching record. How lame are the haters on the this board? Mick was critical in CSU's vaunted running game. He chose the blocking schemes and plays. He did many, many administrative duties there, and has mentored many runningbacks into the NFL! Cecial Sapp credits Delaney for turning him into an NFL back, and was like a father to him. So yes, he can coach. Ask any player if he can coach!

maybe so, but I don't care what kids are on the field returning a kick when they are coached to be 20 yards off the line....cough, cough....Southern Utah

Funny, most head coaches are based great or failures on their head coaching record. He may have been a good position coach, but good head coach that does not make.

Some here are not questioning if he can coach. 2012 season raised the question of, can he be the head coach, organize, motivate, orchestrate, and lead top level championship contending program? He has yet to prove to be a good head coach. I am pulling for him to prove it, as much as anyone.

 

[IntuitiveGriz]

I respect all your opinions, even the negative ones, although I must say that we will have to agree to disagree regarding the coaching worthiness of The University of Montana head coach.

I have said my peace, so I will let it alone. (for now)

GO GRIZ

 

[grizindabox]

Intuitive, no one is trying to discredit anything Mick has done, but the jury is still out on whether he can be a good head coach and so far, the showing on the field tends to lean towards he is not a very good head coach.

yeah yeah, another stellar recruiting class..... just like every other stellar recruiting classes, which means nothing until these recruits actually have to play the game instead of banking on the annual hype.

 

[uofmman1122]

Lord help us if we somehow win the NC this year.

EGriz just might implode in on itself. :lol:

 

[Spanky]

Let's hope the Griz have a good year and if they do, Delaney should be given a contract extension. With the current AD and President, I would be very concerned about the honesty of a search for a new coach, so we may be better off with Mick. Simply stated....UM hiring practices are rotten to the core.

 

[Grizzoola]

Delaney is an INTERIM coach. He was hired to get the program thru a tough period. His contract ends at the end of next season. What the UM administration & AD should be doing right now is searching for a permanent coach & staff, preferably out of state. This inbred thing is impossible. Get some fresh blood in here. Some new ideas, some new energy. Ok, some connection w/ UM before. But, that shouldn't be the criterion.

Coaching talent, however assessed, should be the criterion. Off w/ the old, on w/ the new. Let's go & get the past behind us. To hell w/ allegiances to Butte or wherever. Immaterial. Go out & get the best available coaching talent out there. Preferably young upcomers. They're there. Just find them.

We need to put the past behind us.

 

[Copper Griz]

I believe people were calling for the last head coaches job after his first year. Like déjà vu really. Wait until the year is underway at least before we start this shit. Some very good coaches on this staff with more mature and seasoned players this year. Let me also remind you we have our QB back. Give it a rest for a bit. Holy hell bat man.

There is nothing INTERIM about Delaney. An INTERIM does not get a second year. If Montana struggles again, then I would assume they look for a new coach, but if Montana has success, Delaney will not be going anywhere.

 

[EverettGriz]

I don't understand why so many people are calling for a HC without Montana ties. Those connections have worked out pretty damn well for us in the past. There's something special about this program, and not everyone will get that.
