Reese is coming

[putter]

He also was humiliated by that same NC team in the playoffs, 6 yards rushing along with 6 points, went two deep into the playoffs, same as the position coach he replaced, with the win over EWU the only exception,and its only in your perception of landing a top 10 FCS recruiting class, we don't have any hand measurements as of yet how can there be a rating, without athletes ever playing in a game.

One more thing, a first year head coach, was named "Coach of the Year" taking a team that didn't do anything for years, and that is a Big Deal.

Oh, beating the NC team with and OL in the first game of the season, then in a rematch in the playoffs, with the same OL getting creamed, with his offensive innovation, and genius.

One more thing that position coach, without any innovation let alone no genius at all, never got humiliated as bad as the genius that replaced him.

Truth. Stitt hasn't proved stitt.

Save for beating the cat shit out of the Cats and getting their coach fired. :lol: It's fun to cheer for the . . .

Pretty sure that same NDSU team just "humiliated" 2 other teams that were supposed to be much better than UM too. Maybe NDSU is just really good. But that doesn't fit the agenda very well, does it?

I agree. The Montana D only gave up 16 points to NDSU. The other points were special teams on 2 pic 6's at the hands of Gus. Honestly, a 3rd string QB from Kentucky does not get me excited (just like Jason Washington from Bowling Green). Good for competition but I will give him a pass until spring ball starts and then we can see if he has what it takes to run this offense.

Stitt already thinks he can, and that's a judgment for his offense I trust. And even if he is only "as good" as Gus, I'll take it based on what we saw last year when the starter went down.

 

[putter]

Hope you are right 8184. Stitt seems to know pretty quick what he does and does not like. Spring ball will be fun to watch and see, truly, what kind of SEC talent Reese has

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Hope you are right 8184. Stitt seems to know pretty quick what he does and does not like. Sprint ball will be fun to watch and see, truly, what kind of SEC talent Reese has

I'll be excited if he has just a little SEC talent.

 

[Griz66]

It is a real stretch to think of KY as an SEC talent level team and Reeese was their 3rd string QB. I hope he does great but to think we are getting an SEC talented QB is a big stretch I think. WE shall see. Georgia Southern, a former FCS level school would likely handle KY easily

 

[spsyk]

Why do you confuse hatred with doubt, you can flaunt all you want, I'm still on the fence, after all coach Stitt didn't do anything better than a called out of retirement, position coach accomplished.

Except went to the playoffs his first year as coach and beat the reigning national champions, and also beat EWU and MSU in the process. Also is in the process of landing a top 10 FCS recruiting class. No big deal.

He also was humiliated by that same NC team in the playoffs, 6 yards rushing along with 6 points, went two deep into the playoffs, same as the position coach he replaced, with the win over EWU the only exception,and its only in your perception of landing a top 10 FCS recruiting class, we don't have any hand measurements as of yet how can there be a rating, without athletes ever playing in a game.

spsyk....just curious...do you ever look at the positives of a situation or just dwell on the negatives....

I hope I can satisfy your curiosity, this is a message board,relating to Griz sports, and football in particular in this forum.

Now, if you frequent this forum, shake your pom poms, thats fine, there are plenty of your kind to compare your accolades for a coach than none of you ever seen a game coach by him before his appearance at the University of Montana.

And take as gospel, a Wikipedia page, as qualification for a head coach job at the University of Montana, as well as a few mentions from a FBS coach about a particular novel offensive football play as genius.

Im O.K. with that.

Now for the positives, I think if not for Ben Roberts and Brady Gustafson,excellent execution of athletic prowess, the Griz would not have won the first NDSU game, it was not the genius of coach Stitt.

Beating up on EWU and the Cats,was priceless, although not genius, exploiting their secondary was genius, the same method used by everyone that beat the Cats and EWU.

Well, I am running out of positives, because you will come back with excuses, injuries, inadequate OL, athletes not executing, and the list is infinite, if you blindly follow the coach Stitt mantra.

Now, I admit, I was not all that excited about the coach Stitt hire, I felt that the University of Montana had the
cred to do better, my opinion as well as the opinion of other close to the program.

However, coach Stitt is the head coach of the University of Montana, and I am long time supporter and fan of Griz athletics, so I do support him, although not blindly, especially in this forum, because that is what eGriz
is for,I am assuming.

Don't want accusations of hatred,just conversation where you are, and rebuttal to my viewpoint.

Irrelevant and outdated stats, mean very little me as well as to good coaches, they create stats, its the end of the current game stats that should be of concerned, learn from and make changes, and I just didn't see coach Stitt do much of that this season.

Hopefully next season that will be different, after all it is going to be all Stitt, coaches and athletes, with small and big hands....

1) Two guys making their first college football starts and being ready to play and prepared against the 4 time defending champs means the coaches must have been doing something right.

2) Please give me the number of times the Griz offense played as well as they did in week 1 this year from the three previous seasons. I don't think any of us would argue for two of those three seasons the Griz had a superior QB to anyone who took a snap this year.

 

[garizzalies]

All done by Stitt in a season he coached without a SINGLE one of his recruits on the field .......All done in a season where we had to strip the redshirt off a true freshman RB

Does not compute

Yep, coach Stitt is a genius, he can create raw talent, and do it in the off season, why is he wasting his time at the University of Montana ????

As far as Brady Gustafson is concern, coach Stitt is already measuring his hands,and looking for his replacement.

Mr. Pflug, your blatant hatred toward coach Stitt is obvious and maybe deserved with his cutting your son from the team. I am sorry this took place, but it may be good for your heart, soul, and mind to let it go and move on. You've only referenced the "small hands" issue in 42 other threads so this is all obvious now. I'm sure Junior will end up finding another squad and doing just fine. I wish him....and you....the best of luck.

I agree that Stitt's attempts to get Delaney's Ford Town Car offense to convert to and drive like a Ferrari hit a few bumps along the road when he didn't have many Ferrari parts. What I don't agree with is the lack of recognition of the difficulty involved with making those changes, and the assumption they can be made instantly and perfectly if the coach is any good. And to suggest Stitt had nothing to do with Gus' first performance against NDSU but is responsible for Gus' bad second performance, contending Stitt didn't learn or make changes ignores fact, logic and truth. It was Gus having a bad day, no more no less.

Recall that JJ, a Pflu recruit, made Delaney's offense work from time-to-time, but not with regular consistency as he did running Pflu's offense by the semi-final against SHSU. I'm anxious to see if Stitt's own recruits, and the present players, do a little better with the transformation and the keys to the Ferrari next year and the year after that.

It appears that you are OK with the extraordinary concept of hand size with athleticism.

And what is pointing out the obvious have to do with hatred.

 

[grizindabox]

Lets compare first years then. We'll take a look at wins & losses, who the wins & losses were against, strength of schedule, how each did against quality opponents (above .500 vs d1) and playoffs of course.


Stitt: 8-5 vs D1 Opponents (6-2 in conference), 1-1 in Playoffs.
Win in the playoffs against an actual scholarship team.

Wins
vs NDSU (13-2 vs D1, Playoff Team, Wins the National Championship)
vs NAU (6-5 vs D1)
@UC Davis (2-9 vs D1)
vs UND (7-4 vs D1, snubbed for the playoffs, should have been in. Beat FBS Wyoming also)
@ISU (1-9 vs D1)
@MSU (4-6 vs D1)
vs EWU (6-5 vs D1)
vs SDSU (8-4 vs D1, Playoff team, Would have been seeded but lost thier last game. Beat FBS Kansas)

Losses
vs Cal Poly (4-7 vs D1)
@Liberty (6-5 vs D1)
vs Weber (6-5 vs D1)
@PSU (8-3 vs D1, Seeded 6th in the Playoffs)
@NDSU (13-2 vs D1, Won the National Championship 37-10)


Vs Above .500 teams: 5-4
Vs Teams that made it to the playoffs: 2-2


Now lets look at Delaney's first year.

Delaney: 5-6 (3-5 in conference). No playoffs. Playoffs were out of the question in October when we lost our 5th game making us 3-5 and 1-4 in conference.

Wins:
vs South Dakota (1-10 vs D1)
vs Liberty (5-5 vs D1)
@UNC (4-6 vs D1)
vs ISU (0-10 vs D1)
@Weber (2-9 vs D1)

Losses:
@App State (8-4 vs D1, Playoff team)
vs NAU (7-3 vs D1, not in the playoffs)
@EWU (11-3 vs D1, Playoff team)
vs SUU (4-6 vs D1)
@UND (4-6 vs D1)
vs MSU (10-2 vs D1, Playoff team)

vs Above .500 teams: 0-4
vs Teams that made it to the playoffs: 0-3


Hey, lets look at Delaney's second year while we're at it too.

Delaney's 2nd year. 10-3 (6-2 in conference). We made it to the playoffs! Then...got beat at home.

Wins
vs App St (4-8 vs D1)
@UND (3-8 vs D1)
vs PSU (4-6 vs D1)
@UCDavis (5-7 vs D1)
vs CP (6-6 vs D1)
vs Sac (4-7 vs D1)
@South Dakota (4-8 vs D1)
vs Weber (2-10 vs D1)
@MSU (6-5 vs D1)

Losses
@NAU (9-3, Playoff team)
vs EWU (12-3, Playoff team)
vs Coastal Carolina (12-3, lost to them in the playoffs)

vs Above .500 teams: 1-3
vs Teams that made it to the playoffs: 0-3


Total for Delaney's first 2 years here:

vs Above .500 teams: 1-7
vs Teams that made it to the playoffs: 0-6

It took the final game of his 2nd year for us to get our first win against a quality opponent under Delaney, which is why I included the 2nd year. Stitt's team did it in the first game he coached here. It took 3 years for us to get a playoff win under Delaney, and it was against a non-scholarship team FFS... Stitt's team did it in his first year against SDSU who could very well have been seeded (and would have had they not lost their last game of the season).


It still look similar to you? I could grab the 3rd year of Delaney too, but it's not really even fair to look at the 2nd (but I wanted to to illustrate a point) since Stitt has had only 1 year here so far. After next year we should compare 2nd years...and then after the 3rd year lets compare 3rd years. I have a feeling the differences will very evident just like the differences in 1st years

I think Delaney would have had as good or better year, had he been coaching this year. Probably would not have beaten NDSU, but would have beaten CP and Weber.

And I could say that he would have had a worse year.....all speculation....

\

With all the variables and uncertainty, I'm surprised you were almost able to take a position. Must have taken considerable courage on your part.

Yeah....because I have never taken a position on egriz....Is thinking you are an arrogant ass that really has no position other than the opposite of most just for argument sake.....and of course anything that allows you to shove your nose up coaches asses further....but I digress....

 

[VimSince03]

To post on the topic, good get with Phillips. Gets the ball out quick and is in control of the offense when he is in the huddle. Accurate. Doesn't have a strong zip on the ball but if you are accurate, you really don't have to have the big arm (Peyton Manning). Gustafson excelled this year with the intermediate throws and his deep balls were just money. But the 15 yard and in throws were inconsistent and that is a major part of Stitt's offense because those throws are almost like running the ball on first down to make 2nd and 3rd down's manageable. Those quick throws have to have a high rate of completion. Anyway, Phillips will definitely be good competition.

first...you will never find any post that I referred to Stitt as a genius....nothing even close to that....second...I will take the argument further...most the offensive success was due to the athletes at wr....third...there were issues along the OL , with the QB position, and with some of the coaching decisions......but my entire point is that all you do is dig at Stitt.....so all anyone is going to take from your posts is that you have a great dislike for the man no matter how many times you try to say different......even your positives above are all back handed.....

If you would have been told at the beginning of the year that whoever the coach that we hired will beat NDSU on ESPN..kill EW and MSU..win against SDSU in the playoffs...than lose in the 2nd round to the 5x national champs....and you wouldnt be extremely happy about that year.....than you're a damn liar!

Correct, you seldom add anything of value to the football threads. You spend most of your time taking potshots at other posters, like you have doing recently with spysk. In my experience, posters that spend time picking at other posters usually don't have anything of substance to provide and don't understand the game. Sorry that you're jealous that I have been pretty good friends with a number of the Griz coaches over the years. Just another example of your inability to provide much, if anything, of substance on the board. Just pick at or attack other posters.

Hopefully next season that will be different, after all it is going to be all Stitt, coaches and athletes, with small and big hands....

If you would have been told at the beginning of the year that whoever the coach that we hired will beat NDSU on ESPN..kill EW and MSU..win against SDSU in the playoffs...than lose in the 2nd round to the 5x national champs....and you wouldnt be extremely happy about that year.....than you're a damn liar!

How about if you were told that UM would lose to Weber at home, beat a weak ISU team on a lucky play in OT, lose to CP, get clobbered by PSU, lose handily to Liberty, and get crushed by NDSU worse than Delaney's loss in Fargo the prior year?

It is a real stretch to think of KY as an SEC talent level team and Reeese was their 3rd string QB. I hope he does great but to think we are getting an SEC talented QB is a big stretch I think. WE shall see. Georgia Southern, a former FCS level school would likely handle KY easily

A team that goes 5-7 in the SEC would handle anyone at the FCS level..come on guys.

Like 7-6 Auburn "handled" Jacksonville St by beating them in OT?
