Stitt was own worst enemy

[Maxim]

I really think that Stitt got in his own way of success. His system was designed to go for it on fourth down almost all the time and not to put much emphasis in the run game. His biggest win against NDSU he did exactly that. Then he had a couple of losses and listened to the people saying you have to run the ball more in your offense and you have to stop going for it on 4th down. As a result he did not stay true to the roots of his own scheme and it let him down. I mean he ran the ball three times in a row on first and goal from the 9 yard line against MSU. That is not what a passing offense does. Just my two cents.

And keeping certain assistant was nail in coffin when his lack of ability was once again exposed by MSU...no quality coach calls the plays that resulted in 2....yes 2. 3rd and forever conversions.

Stitt's offense is not built to sustain drives or control the ball. It's not built for the RZ. It's built for big plays which D1 defenses can take away. His program is not built for excellence in defense or special teams. It's built for beating up on weak teams and winning about 60% of the games overall. It's not built for winning conference titles or championships. That is not Montana.

Yet we had a very good percentage of scoring from the Red Zone. At one point it was 100%. You can move on now. It's okay, the world is good.

I find it hilarious when this argument is brought up. D1 defenses can take it away? D1 defenses are faster...wouldn’t it make sense that the OFFENSES are better too?
