Is the 2023 Football Season Make-Or-Break For Bobby???

[thirdandlong]

Well if he finished 0-16 you would still be slobbering all over him so what's your point?

My point is what I said. And there is no chance UM could go 0-16. Likely top 10. For sure in top 15. Potential deep playoff run. Appear to have all guys who want to compete and be here. Not complainers. That’s an improvement.

Hey slobber dude...... wanting a change in our football direction, after 5 years of failure, is not "complaining". It is being realistic and forward-thinking.

Usually the Hauck haters surface near the end of the season. Why so early?

Getting a jump on the predictable seasonal failure.

The abject failure of you cretins to realize the coaching staff’s ineptitudeness is on full display. With my free reign beyond mediocrity, I speak on behalf of all Griz fans, and lest of all with the meek Griz manta stated in perpetuity. You may be mollified and satiated by Hauck’s charm but the inevitable salve licking will continue ad nauseam with no impact on my wellbeing.

Never said that. Can't deal with my posts, huh Kem? I see you refused to answer my direct question to you about supporting Bobby if he has another typical Hauck 2.0 season...... which is why I say this is a make-or-break season for the majority of Griz fans. Of course, you are a "Hauck-for-lifer", along with the lake-licker.

Fans on egriz have now become the Bobcats fans on their site for so many futile years of hope and prayer. Accepting mediocrity. Ignoring that they can not beat their in-state rivals. Being the brunt of mocking by the opposing in-state fan base. Hoping every year that things will change, but never do. Over-hyping new recruits who have never played a single down. Depending of a soft conference schedule to fuel their expectations, instead of dominating every season no matter the schedule, like the Griz did for 20 years. How does it feel transitioning from the big brother to the little brother?

If the offense changes to more short passes and screen plays and less RPO QB as a battering ram I will support Bobby for two maybe three more years even if no success. But if Bobby ball rears its ugly head my attacks will be fierce and met with the full wrath of the Bobby lovers on this forum.

Even if Bobby Ball starts winning again?

Can I make an honest suggestion man? Not trying to be a dick, this is sincere.

At this late stage in your life, perhaps you should find something fulfilling other than Griz football. How much time have you squandered over the years doing this? Whether or not you have valid points is frankly irrelevant.

The Griz program of the mid 90’s and 2000’s is gone. It is over. It is never coming back. Just accept it and move on with your life. You are going to have someone reading your eulogy with a bulk of it being your trials and tribulations of Griz message boards.

Bobby isn't going anywhere till he decides he want's to move on.

You've obviously moved on, since you rarely post. You used to be a great contributor, and obviously know football. None of the good football posters contribute any longer. Egriz has suffered the same sad fate as our football program. This board is now filled with court jesters, Hauck-lovers, and fans who are willing to accept the status quo. I also am quite certain that you agree with me that Bobby should be replaced as coach. Not sure you will admit this on egriz, but sure you would over a beer.

Yes, the football program we used to have for 20 years is long gone, destroyed by a ridiculous firing of Pflu, then a series of even more ridiculous hirings of Delaney and Stitt, which placed this program into a hole which we have no yet recovered. The "savior", Bobby Hauck was going to be the Superman who returned us to "dominance, per his very own promises when re-hired. Five years later, it hasn't happened. So, why do YOU, Raider, not support a change in leadership?

I have posed this question a couple of times, but no one wants to answer it. The Bobcats did not sit around and accept their position as the little brother in the state. They fired coaches, and moved forward until they found a coach who could accomplish their goal to dominate the Griz. My question...... if Hauck coached the Bobcats for the past five years, and had the same results as he has had coaching the Griz, would he still be coaching the Cats for a sixth season??? Ask yourself that question!

There is absolutely no reason that we can not return to the levels we enjoyed in the past. We have best facilities in FCS, the best weight room, the biggest fan base, a new indoor facility, and a former tradition of excellence (which is rapidly disappearing into the rear-view mirror). Yet, you too, go along with the participation trophy crowd..... accepting our fate, as if it can not be changed. Why aren't you pressing for change? Have you resolved that we will never be better, or you just don't care any longer?

Yeah, I am old. But I will not give-up on turning this ship around, and Bobby Hauck and his band of has-been coaches is not the answer. Re-hiring Hauck has turned-out to be just as big a mistake as hiring Delaney and Stitt. Until we conduct a SERIOUS national search for a head coach who can relate to today's athletes, both in the recruiting process, and on the field, we will never return to dominance. Hauck is proof that a sequel is never as good as the original.

Lol at the fact that our own fan base can't acknowledge a seemingly pertinent and obvious question :roll:

Looks like acknowledgment to me, just not the responses you hoped.

Deflecting and constantly blaming trolls is the opposite of acknowledgement.

The truth is that there is plenty of grumbling among boosters. Last year's results are not going to get it done.

 

[gotgame75]

The state of the program is in a good spot. No we are not the powerhouse we once were, but we’re competitive. Graduation rate is great, gpa is great, the student athletes like our coaching staff. Overall the program is healthy. I assume he will get another contract this summer before fall ball gets going.

It's pathetic that Griz fans now settle for simply being "competitive". It's truly sad and indicative of the mentality that's allowed MSU to surpass us in every major athletic program.

I would counter that we haven't even been competitive in games against other playoff level teams.

The fact that some griz fans believe that we need to "accept" simply being above average is beyond aggravating. Sorry not sorry for holding this program to a higher standard. This little brother mentality is a disease that's infected our fan base into believing that we cannot do better than what we've already got. That's the psychology of losers.

Two top 10 finishes, a 14 finish, and playoffs and playoff wins 3 years in a row, is much better than “above average”. No one in Griz nation believes we should accept above average. Why can’t some of you deal with the actual faces? Why do you keep making up stuff?

Clearly you're lying. Or are you suggesting that by having different screen names you are only responsible for acknowledging what is said by the one you are currently using? Meaning you actually believe switching screen names creates a different person? If this is true, you have much bigger concerns than Griz football.

So UM was competitive when it beat MSU a year ago, when MSU went to the national championship game? Not competitive against SS and Weber last fall? Not competitive when beating teams in the playoffs.

Trying sticking with the facts and reality.

IDK, I want us to do better than we've been doing the past few years, but I also think we can do it with the current staff. Maybe I'm just hopeful for my favorite team because (a) I'm not a coach, and (b) it's more fun.

Excellent post, 100% agree and thank you. It's (the whole Griz football thing) is supposed to be fun.
