Which is why I believe we should try for the C’s. A’s can try to compete for time and perhaps become serviceable in time. B’s are dinosaurs in the new era, IMO.

Fauque Alpha, we are tired of YOUR antics. It’s been 20 plus years of your Bobby Hauck hating. Let it go, or put a cork in it. You are just tiresome

Bobby says at least a half season. That may be generally and not just 3-3-5.
And Drew Miller.
Exactly. Didn’t have to sit based on rules back then, and that was an incentive. There’s no incentive anymore. That’s where I think we can find recruiting opportunities out of HS. I’m a broken record, but winning the in-state recruiting battle is a dumb battle to fight.

You don’t think he changed the entire system last year to leverage the talent of McDowell??? What are you talking about? You think we were somehow running the wrong system with Fife and Ah Yat?

Not addressing your point, which I have come to understand and find interesting, but getting top players from MT reduces scholarship costs for football. And the coaches like the MT-led work ethic.
Watching the sideline interactions with the players and coaches - something is off. Noticed the same thing last year but we had enough talent to overcome most of it. There seems to be a small rift between some of the coaches and players.

and many Montana fans like watching Montana kids..That is the reason that once the Griz are out of the playoffs I start rooting for the scats...because of the Montana kids.
John Schneider like Luke Duke on the Duke's of Hazzard? LOL

need better talent to execute on the field. Coaching is not the issue.
Watching press conferences? Has anyone got a feeling of this? I haven't. I just doubt the locker room is lost. I guess in a week or two we'll see because a lost locker room is resulting in players tweeting transfer intents. And if that was the case last year don't you think JB transfers? We were hearing about big NIL deals.

Never, they did not choose wisley.
First, I agree the financial side of it is a huge factor. I'm talking specifically about QBs (and, I suppose, the secondary). So, not very many scholarships.
Second, I can guarantee you that the "work ethic" isn't unique to Montana. There's no state border that magically grants its inhabitants some mystical soft factor of "[state] work ethic". DI FB players all have it, or they won't last long. We need to get over that.
Lastly, I would rather have one or two guys ready to contribute early than one or two MT Gatorade players of the year who need (what has felt like) eons to "let the game slow down for them." Accordingly, I don't think the focus should be on winning the in-state recruiting battle.
**Stop reading here if you don't like anecdotes**
One of my family members dated a bball player in HS. 6'7". He was the state player of the year. Just absolutely schooled everyone in his division his senior year. He ended up going to a junior college in Southern Idaho where he got absolutely manhandled by dudes on his team from Chicago, Texas, Oklahoma, California, etc. Transferred to a different JC and the same thing pretty much happened. Never played again. I think it's sometimes a useful exercise for coaches and players to assess whether they're looking at a big fish/small pond scenario.
Well who is responsible for having a team of players that need to be have better talent? It isn't high school, coaches recruit the players. A major job of coaches is recruiting the players, not just Xs and Os. Either they can't recruit as well as the other top programs, or they can't set up schemes to utilize the best they can with the athletes they got. Running a defense that relies on a truly dominant interior guy like Gubner without guys like that on the roster is not adapting to a roster, it is jamming square pegs in round holes. When relying on the portal so much also doesn't make sense to use a scheme that is basically new to every portal guy requiring so long for them to "figure it out". Bobby has said at least half a season ( I can think of a couple games that might have been won if they weren't played during this "learning time" this season). Portal guys need to be plug and play not learn on the go. Most portal guys are coming from a standard 4 front that they have learned since middle school, much faster to be successful here. This year they will need a pile of transfers once again to even have a hope of being competitive with the top levels.
