Stitt on Bleacher Report Radio

SWEEEET. Gotta get to my car to listen!!!
Coach said Saturday was the funnest day of his life...
He talked about how the 4th down thing isn't reckless, he has statistics that when a drive goes over 7-8 plays, chance of scoring on that drive increase around 38%...
Mentioned that if it's a manageable 6 yards or less, that is when it's worth considering...

Who still thinks Stitt was not the perfect hire for what the GRIZ need? He is bringing attention to the program and university. He will get a boat load of offensive talent. Gregorak and Stitt complement one another perfect. Gregorak is already showing more aggressiveness and versatility as DC. I can see defensive recruits wanting to be part of this. Finally, our fans made an impact nationwide thanks to ESPN broadcasting this game. We have fans from all over the nation giving Montana props, including fans from the Power 5 conferences who had no idea how crazy and loud a GRIZ is. I have buddies of mine from Nebraska, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Ohio who all have made it a point to attend a GRIZ game on their bucket list.
As for Stitt, his confidence is contagious to every coach, player, and fan. He has the cockiness and confidence of Bobby Hauck, yet the personality of Joe Glenn. Admit it, Haslam hit a Grand Slam on this hire.

I'd add:
BleacherReport opened the interview by playing Up With Montana, which was cool!
Stitt called the game "pretty crazy", but said that everyone on the sideline was extremely calm and confident on the final drive.
He was asked how they avoid a letdown after that game. He replied that you stay focused, which is what theyve done every day since he's arrived. He said he's not worried, because the kids have fully bought in.
Called Saturday the funnest day of his life, on par with the birth of his children. Said from the GrizWalk to the Tunnel run to environment it was special. He said the kids have been through all that, but it was completely new to him and extremely special. Said there's no place like WaGriz. He said he's coached in The Game, and it was nothing like this. He said the ESPN sideline reporter told him that WaGriz was every bit as loud as the stadiums in the SEC.
Says going for it on 4th down is about getting the play count up, especially in the first half. But said they won't do it recklessly as mtgriz points out above. 4th and 6th is manageable.
Not sure who the former NFL player was on the broadcast, but he played for Jeff Fisher, who he said has great affinity for the Griz program. Stitt stated that our NFL alums are always telling him that their time at UM was the best experience of their lives. He said people just cannot understand the passion and entire experience is like at UM unless you see it for yourself.
Stitt Happens!!
The old caddy has been traded in for a new 'Vette. Damn its nice to be 1-0. Loving it.
Best thing Stitt did was weeks ago, sitting gamboa. He established focus and discipline from the start, sending a message that team and behavior matters most. Most college coaches wouldn't have the balls or integrity to do same, especially with a huge game on tap.
Noticed that during game our guys kept focus, no stupid penalties, personal fouls etc.
