It's his second year

[MrTitleist]

He has piss poor play calling maybe he should let someone else call the plays. On 3rd and 2 why are we throwing the ball behind the line of scrimmage. When I was being coached the one thing our coach always said was press the ball forward.

You realize that the quarterback checks in and out of plays at the LOS, and Gus made a couple of odd checks that resulted in lost 3rd downs on Saturday.

6-5 record on this years cream puff schedule is not impressive for one flippin' minute!

He's (Stitt) turned out to be pretty stubborn & more arrogant than confident in my view. It's really disappointing to see our program in such dire straights. last I checked its HIS offense, he calls the plays on O & meddles in what the D is doing so he can get the ball back because his offense is so damn good.

Oh, special teams who needs that, just a wasted down for the offense (right!?!) Dont act like you forget now! He's pretty good at deflecting, would be nice to see him accept accountability because its part of the gig, Coach!

Stitt came in to a dumpsterfire of the complete reinvention of a program.

Stitt came to a program that had a 19-8 record in its most recent two years, a .070 record, and made it to the second round of the NCAA playoffs both of those years, with five team members currently on NFL schedules.

Under Delaney, UM scored a total of 107 points in playoffs in two years, compared to 30 under Mr. Stitt in a two year period. In those two years under Delaney, UM outscored playoff opponents 107-93. In the two years under Mr. Stitt, opponents outscored UM 54 to 30.

"Building from that," Mr. Stitt created a conference record this year of .375 and no playoff appearances, after the team stopped playing for him mid-season.

What is your definition of a "dumpsterfire?"

Maybe Stitt should ask himself why he didn't run the ball 80% of the time against a completely undersized, youthful, and banged up MSU defensive line. Also, Colin Bingham should've had over 100 yards receiving against our defense, attacking the middle of the field. Seriously, Bob called a piss-poor game and he should own up to it.

The Griz have a ton of youth coming back and the true freshman this year will all be competing for spots next year. Will be interesting to watch the QB battle develop. Freshman Gresch Jensen is the future and he may get his shot in 2017. Do you guys think Reese Phillips is the answer next year?

vim, I just asked the same ? about the qb situation on another thread....to me, its a MAJOR ? that really does not have an answer....so, the next griz qb will be who and why will he be.....we may have potential at qb in redshirt freshman, but that and $1.75 will buy you a large coffee at quick way.

He won't, because he was literally clueless. I watched him on the sidelines the entire game. All he did, was stare at his play card, looking for a miracle. Sadly, there was nothing on that card that Ty didn't know. So he was flummoxed, and he knew it.

There might be a little room for some introspection on the defensive strategy, while we are asking questions.

The best play call on Saturday for the Griz was giving the ball to Jeremy Calhoun. He is one of the toughest backs in the Big Sky and his excuse for not playing him more in the first half was because Nguyen and Counts were seniors and were first in the rotation. And then he said if the Griz would've ran more plays in the first half, Calhoun of course would've been the next man in the rotation. CHOATE LITERALLY SAID ALL WEEK THAT HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE MATCHUP AGAINST CALHOUN!

I'm not trying to start anything guys but my goodness. I thought about all the matchups all week where we would be exposed defensively and Stitt barely exposed any of them. The two deep balls were outstanding throws and a great move by Justin Calhoun on Johnny Walker on the first one. But that was one of our strengths all year on defense. Our weakness was defending the intermediate passing game in the middle of the field and defending the run for four quarters.

Bob's getting something of a reputation for not preparing well for games; indeed, being "delusional" about his opponents. There is something wrong with the guy.

Montana coach Bob Stitt is a little different cat. He’s an extremely confident guy, that was obvious back in August when the Griz beat the Bison in Missoula, but his postgame press conference Saturday evening reeked of an absolute stubbornness to acknowledge NDSU’s obvious defensive improvement throughout the year or the Bison’s game-planning that utterly befuddled Griz QB Brady Gustafson and the Montana offense. I understand that you don’t want to kiss your opponents’ rear ends and pump them up too much, but Stitt almost seemed delusional. He kept referring to the game “snowballing” on the Griz and when I straightforward asked whether he thought the Bison defense had improved since August (which it markedly has) Stitt said, “Well, it’s the same guys.” He had also said in some remarks earlier in the week that the Bison were “the same, exact team” but that HIS team had improved markedly. If a coach watched film of the Griz’s victory over Montana on Aug. 29 and then watched film of the Bison’s final three or four regular-season games, there’s no way you could see the same defense. It’s almost, oddly, like Stitt viewed the victory in August as some sort of lasting moment whereas Bison coach Chris Klieman had told everybody all year that his defense was going to struggle early in the season and be better by the end of the season. Klieman has been spot-on. That’s why this quote from Klieman was so telling: “You don’t win national championships in August. You win the suckers in December.”

You'e making it sound like he actually bothered to spend the time to scout us. why would he waste time on that? He made it pretty clear in the interview he thought they were going to have no problem walking all over us.
