Pease would be first choice. Hauck 2nd. And Hauck may not have won the NC but he took us there and had plenty of playoff wins. Hauck would have a better chance than a glorified high school coach.

Umm didn't Hauck get replace by a high school coach at UNLV?

Congratulations and welcome to GRIZ Nation, Coach Stitt.

Prepare to win Championships!!

Prepare for one n done playoff appearances!!! Oh wait.. Delaney pretty much got us into that groove. Maybe that's why Delaney was hired, so fans could lose their expectations.

jcu, I am not sure if you were hoping for Hauck or Pease...but how many Championship did either of them win as a head coach?

if ignorance had monetary value, you sir would be a so-called friend of PR's...

Sure hope he can win more than one outright Conference championship in 15 years...

Because of donors... do you think that hs coach is gonna take UNLV anywhere? I don't think so.

I think you got this the other way around. There's a difference between realistic and ignorant.

Ha! Beat me to the punch, kinda funny.

The guy has the job. No amount of bee-otching is going to change that. The naysayers can hope for him to fail then tell everyone "I told you so" because that feels so good... OR, you can get onboard and support the Griz and enjoy the ride. Should be interesting!

+1

I would of loved to of seen Hauck back, but I will totally support Stitt and will enjoy the ride.

GO GRIZ!!

The trick is finding a coach who's at the start of an upward trajectory, not in finding somebody who did that 15 years ago. That usually involves a roll of the dice. In this case, I'm all for it.

the basis for your argument is not realism...

... Pease would be first choice. Hauck 2nd. And Hauck may not have won the NC but he took us there and had plenty of playoff wins. Hauck would have a better chance than a glorified high school coach.

Okay, we get it ... the AD didn't pick the guy you wanted. Normally, I don't pay any attention to smack ... but I'm wondering: What is your problem? Why the insulting, or worse, attitude?

So Stitt is a "glorified high school coach"? Does that make a D-III coach a "glorified Junior High coach"? How about NAIA? Is that grade school?

I know almost nothing about Pease, as a coach ... except that he has never had a HC gig.
Hauck? I would have had no particular problem with hiring him back. He seems to have matured a bit in his interactions with the media ... which would have been a plus.

Is Stitt going to be the "second coming"? Who knows? He might be a disaster, or a big home run. To me, he looks like a pretty solid individual -- perhaps a bit unconventional in terms of coaching philosophy, but with a lot of potential. I am not one who thinks UM "deserves" to only hire the cream of the coaching fraternity. (Besides, "the cream" goes to 1-A ... and succeeds.)

Perhaps you're offended by those who have gone overboard on the plus side. So take it out on them ... but please, back off on the slams against Mr. Stitt's character and coaching ability (unproven at this level as they are)

 

[Blammo]

Imagine being so mentally invested in failure that you can't enjoy any Griz success. Sad.

Bobcats sure seem to be happy that we hired Stitt...my how fast they forget about ass kickings over there.

Those kitties will do anything to convince themselves that the ass whoopings won't continue, but they aren't very logical in doing so. Stitt will have this Griz O operating at a much improved level and Ty will have the Griz D kicking the kitties asses just like usual. Kitties - it's going to get worse for you, not better. :thumb:

When its a program like Montana you don't go with unknown quantities. You go with what will elevate the program. Hauck or Pease could do that or maintain the level we are already at. No question about it. Instead we go with a toss up.. Is this a good hire? No. Kent seriously shot himself in the foot with this one and lost all credibility. MD then Bob Stitt.. KH couldn't hire a good football coach if he wanted to. All bout dice rolling and poor decisions. Griz remain mediocre.

It'd be better than going to the shitter. Which could happen. Who knows yet? We will find out in 3-4 years what he can do. Hope he proves me wrong but I have the feeling griz fans will be calling for his head after the first 2 years.

So you had to be super-fired-up when UM hired Don Read with his 50-60 conference record before he got to UM????

Troll? Lol I'm a die hard griz fan. I've never met anyone as obsessive with griz football than me(in person). I'm concerned for the team I follow and don't agree with the decision. I can bitch n moan all I want. Its what being a fan is about. Because people that bitch, care. Apparently not many people care on here.
