Reese is coming

[BadlandsGrizFan]

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Irrelevant and outdated stats, mean very little me as well as to good coaches, they create stats, its the end of the current game stats that should be of concerned, learn from and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....

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?

I would have been extremely happy with the outcome of this season if you had told me the entire scenario....you're ignorant if you cant admit this season was sucessful for a first year coach at any FCS school. How many of those losses were on a last second field goal? Or in OT?

 

[grizindabox]

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....

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.

Really....asking spysk questions about his views is taking a pot shot...and you know nothing about my understanding or background....and as for you being a pompous ass....just calling them like I see them....just like you do....

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

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?

Ya I think if an FCS school played week in and out in the SEC, ya I think they would get rocked...whats your deal with being such an ass always trying to correct everyone? Have you ever just kept your mouth shut in your life?

Says the guy who has spent his last two posts trying to make me look stupid for saying an FCS school would get handled by the week to week SEC schedule...and that Stitts first year was a success....

That is priceless. Player execution is why we WON the NDSU game, but not why we LOST some of the other games. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[MiningCityGrizFan]

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.

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.

Some one may have touched on this, but I haven't scrolled as far so forgive me if this is duplicative...


In the first year of MD there was no playoff and for the first time since 1985 no winning season. So it's not clear why you're so quick to make that the basis of your anti-Stitt position...

With respect to the "never got humiliated" I would respectfully disagree. In MD's 2nd year the playoff loss to Coastal Carolina was beyond humiliation. A team from South Carolina came into a sub-zero Washington-Grizzly and handed the Griz their collective arses and ended the careers of Tripp and Coyle in the process.

If that wasn't humiliation, I don't know what was.

 

[AZGrizFan]

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

:lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah. You're right....SINGLE might have been too strong of a word.

Forgive me for being on topic but I will give it a shot. Regardless of whether or not Reese comes in and starts, we got better as a team. It gives BG some much needed competition and hopeful solid backup if he doesn't win the job. I don't think that I have seen one person mention that Brady will be a senior next year.. Reese should have at least two years of eligibility coming to Montana.. So even if he doesn't start it will put us in a great position for the following year and give Jenson two years to learn the system and develop his skills.

thanks for getting it back on topic. :clap: :clap: :clap: I agree with what you said. It makes us a better team.

And all those are positives.

Doesn't answer the question as whether or not an improved system (perfected even) can get us to the chipper............

 

[IntuitiveGriz]

My money is on Brady. RP was the 3d team qb at Kentucky last fall. Didn't get into a game, except as holder. In 2014, was 2 for 9 for 45 yards and 1 interception, in 3 games. Looks like he was a talent coming out of high school, but hasn't really gotten on the field yet. Maybe the new scenery will be good for him and he will become the qb that people must have thought he would be coming out of high school.

Here is some info on the 2 qb's who played in front of him this year. Kentucky was 5-7.

"Towles entered the season as the starter for the second consecutive year but completed just 56.1 percent of his passes for 2,148 yards, nine touchdowns and 14 interceptions and was benched for the final two games of the season.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Drew Barker replaced Towles as the starter but fared little better, completing 50 percent of his passes for 364 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in five games, including two starts.

With Barker completing just 1 of 13 passes for minus-1 yard in the second half against Louisville, Stoops and Dawson handed the reins of the offense back to Towles for Kentucky’s final drive. With the outcome already all but certain, Towles completed his first three passes for 71 yards before throwing an interception at the Louisville 2-yard line to end any chance at a comeback."

"Kentucky quarterbacks threw 16 interceptions with just 10 touchdowns."

My money, as well, is on Brady.

Reese Phillips hs hudl tape is under-whelming.

With that said, I am happy Reese is transferring here. Should add depth to QB position in 2016.

You must be an "everyone gets a ribbon" kind of guy, and thus you think that no should be able to disagree or challenge your posts, or comment on them. What a baby.

So a very good Coastal team beat UM by 7, with UM outgaining Coastal 557 yards to 476, and you think that loss is "beyond humiliation" and "handing the Griz their arses"? Hum, get we'll have to disagree on that one. UM just had a terrible last 6.5 minutes of the 2d quarter, when they gave up 3 TD's.

 

[big kahuna]

We are a better team with this addition, no doubt. I thought Gustafson did a fine job last season, particularly in the opener and then the ass-whipping in Bozeman, but as a quarterback, you are only as good as your last game. Quite frankly, he did not play well against NDSU. I'm guessing that's why our coach went shopping for a drop-down to add depth and talent. Seems both wise and prudent.

Contrast to the 2015 Cal Poly game, a loss at home. "We never lose in our house" -- Sttit had just boldly announced after the NDSU game -- leading to some amusement after Cal Poly, "Who's "We" Kemosabe?"

UM put up 459 yds of offense (mostly passing) to 386 yds for Cal Poly (mostly on the ground), while UM managed three fumbles and three interceptions on the way to the all-important 92 plays, while failing to convert any of the three fourth down attempts. That handed Cal Poly one of just three conference wins the entire season (.375), while Cal Poly scored third worst in the conference in scoring defense and barely nudged out by NAU as the absolute worst in the conference in passing defense. Losing to Coastal Carolina is someone complaining about?

Our Defense did keep Cal to 20 points, compared to their season average of 34 points, so there was that ....

On the other hand, that 2013 Playoff run by UM against Coastal Carolina was a 42-35 loss at home but in 2013 as with 2014, CC was in the finals against NDSU.

Compared to losing to Cal Poly, "at home," it was "far from humiliation" whereas the loss this year to Cal Poly ... is the definition of "humiliation."
