Great article on spread offenses with quotes from Stitt

[BWahlberg]

Catfish, we all want the Griz to be successful, so I agree in general. They have some talent on the team, but it is only talent and potential until they come together as a team. They must be properly coached with the basics daily. My impression with Stitt is that he is more of a Front Man and may not be a Coach. More of a salesman type that makes an impressive pitch, but doesn't really understand what he is selling. We will see.

We should set up a screen and sell popcorn for world-class projection like this, folks.

Haha, wow, indeed.

So when NFL coaches come to Missoula to talk to Stitt, you think they're trying to pick up on some of his sales tips? And when Dana Holgorson, Mike Leach, and Kevin Sumlin fly Stitt out to talk X's and O's, they're really just impressed with his ability as a Front Man and they want to learn more? When the writer's at SB Nation wrote this article, they figured Stitt was an armchair QB who "sells" a spread offense and wanted his input.

Bold statement on your part, too bad there isn't much backing it up.

You've obviously never have talked to the man he knows his X and Os. He is no front man or salesman. I think he's the opposite sometimes the way he acts towards the media.

All of your above accolades sure have not come to fruition thus far as the head coach at the UM.

Now, allowing for a reason of doubt, with coach Stitt having his staff in place, and athletes of his choice in place, that being athletes he was able to acquire, this should be the season of incredible results, perhaps winning the BSC, deep into the playoffs, with perhaps contending for a NC.

I mean who could expect less, considering all the greats seeking X's and O's dialog from the genius of the spread offense.

Myself personally, I wish the genius would look into the concept of what NDSU has done with X's and O's, after all, that is a proven concept with results that won't be duplicated in at least your lifetime, and I am most certain that the fans of NDSU found that type of football not only exciting but also exhilarating.

Unfortunately, the administration of the UM which has had mild football success compared to NDSU, felt compelled to refresh their Image from some real and some fake rape accusations, by hiring an austere coach from a level that some high schools can compete, in lieu of a proven coach and be putting the football program in a static situation.

Now, you will probably debate back that coach Stitt is only in his third year as HC, his athletes are young his scheme is complicated and he may need a little more time, after all in fifteen years at the School of Mines he achieved mediocrity, and he could not refuse the opportunity offered by the UM for him to fulfill the dream of domination at School of Mines.

Just my humble opinion.....

Using your theory, Don Read would never have been hired here. Horribly mediocre career before he came to Missoula.
Mick Dennehy should never have been given the reigns. Totally mediocre HC @ MT Western.
Bobby Hauck would never have been hired here. Had never even BEEN a HC before here.

I don't recall Read, Dennehy or Hauck being put on a pedestal before they did anything here. They all earned their reputations, while Stitt is being gifted his with little to show for it.

Define "put on a pedestal"?

Asking fans to have a little patience isn't exactly putting him on a pedestal.

Asking fans to realize the shit show he inherited isn't putting him on a pedestal.

Stating facts about who does or does not seek counsel/advice from him isn't putting him on a pedestal.

Don't ever use the word "we" when talking about the griz. You are a huge bobcat fan and post on litter box station all of the time. I see you deleted your other post before this one where you tried to make yourself sound like a Griz fan by talking about the championship center having the wrong name and using the word we a lot. If you're going to post here at least do it as a bobcat fan and not some chickenshit

He's been lauded on about every major sports network and in nearly every periodical. Went on Jim Rome, after taking a victory lap for his new admirers in downtown Missoula after the NDSU win. I call that being put on a pedestal. His reputation is much better than his resume.

Thanks Cat fan for taking the time to post on the Griz board with your crap opinion on your rivals coach. Tell us how do you feel about coach choke bringing on those Xanax salesman after knowing their character inside and out. Let's talk about the pedestal you have put him on and what a shit show that was

Don't look at it as me as criticizing your coach, rather look at it as me giving the credit due to your past coaches. It's difficult to see someone getting national attention, while other more deserving coaches got little or none.

I think you may have stumbled on to something. Perhaps Stitt's true calling is becoming a football consultant. That way he wouldn't have to concern himself with some of those annoying things that come with a head coaching job.......... like winning.

I could care less about any of this. My bigger question is why are you over here acting like you are a Griz fan using the word "we" while obviously taking your defensive, pro-bobcat stance. Post here all you want but at least have the balls to do it as a bobcat fan. I've seen some dumb shit but that's about as dumb as it gets.

There is no theory here, in my opinion, there is no comparison between Don Read and coach Stitt, Read was hired to build a program, and completed that accomplishment with unparalleled success.

While coach Stitt inherited a program that went two deep with an interim coach at the helm, and a program and facility that greatly enhances the chances for recruitment.

As far as Dennehy, he was put in place by legacy, and pretty much the same for Hauck, with Hauck being well prepared when interviewing for the job.

Not to say that both Dennehy and Hauck both had instant success, and can't say the same for coach Stitt. Just my opinion.

The fans at School of Mines are not sure what a pedestal is, after fifteen years all 350 of them were satisfied with mediocrity because they never saw dominance.

I see. So Don Read's team didn't go two deep? WTF does that statement even mean?

Seriously though: There have been fucking manifestos written on eGriz about the quality of our O-line play for literally the past 5+ years. Or the quality of our RB's since Reynolds graduated. Or the quality of our CB's since TJ went to the NFL. Or the quality of our safeties since The Butte Missile took his talents to the NFL. Stitt came in down four schollys. The shitstorm rape scandal was barely in the rear view mirror. Horrible declining enrollment thanks to that dipshit Engstrom. Our first losing season in 25 years barely behind us. Taking over for an interim coach who would have been better served staying in his rocking chair. Trying to rebuild an O-line that was decimated by an O-line coach who was more concerned about his players' relationship with GOD rather than their skill between the lines on a football field.

Bob Stitt didn't inherit the same Cadillac as Dennehy, Glenn, Hauck, Pflugrad, etc. FAAAAR from it. If pretending that he did helps you sleep at night, great. But it's horribly disingenuous and really not even comparable. Engstrom ran that fucking cadillac off a cliff, then lit it on fire by hiring Delaney and his crew of pretend coaches. You wanna really be pissed at someone? Be pissed at Engstrom. And Gragg. Stitt's a fine football coach, but he's not a fucking miracle worker. This thing was a lot further off the rails than you or a lot of people were/are willing to admit--hence the housecleaning that occurred after the first year--a lot of those guys were borderline Frontier Conf caliber players--hell, it was said as much on here when Delaney signed 'em!! But, don't let facts get in the way of a good lynching.
