Stitt will be fine.

[AZGrizFan]

Let me get straight, coach Stitt offense is working, the problem is, he didn't recruit these kids, ( which for the most part are some of the best athletes the Griz have had, ) he just needs a few years to get it all together.

He is not responsible for the execution of the athletes, dropping passes, running poor routes, missing blocks,and a poor inefficient OL.

So, can someone answer this for me, if we have the wrong athletes for this offensive scheme, why is the head coach and also one in the same the offensive coordinator trying to run an offensive that is not suited to his athletes, and adept an offense till he gets the athletes he needs to accomplish what he is trying to do.

Now, I could be wrong, however I believe his job is to win football games, and not a training program for three or four years of running an offense that is not conducive to his athletes.

Good and experienced coaches work with what they are dealt, great coaches create overachievers, and if coach Stitt can't win with the athletes,that are in his stable now, I suppose we will know in three years if this experiment has merit.

Hopefully it does, because the consequences of a failure, will be more than detrimental to the program.

After the miracle victory over NDSU, IT HAS BEEN DOWN HILL.

It appears all the coaches we're recruiting for two weeks instead of preparing to win a football game.

Just my opinion in a heated rant, that make sense to me and will piss others off.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but are you even bothering to read the board? There's no one here who's saying the offense is working. And several people here HAVE mentioned specifically that the failure to execute, running poor routes, missed tackles, etc., are coaching issues. Not having the team better prepared mentally to play yesterday---completely a coaching issue.

But if you think he's not making adjustments based on players/talent, then you're not watching the games. Face it, there's not a QB on this team that is exactly what Stitt would like to run his offense effectively. So, he's trying to put lipstick on a pig, somewhat, with Gustafson and now Chalich. But he DID make play-calling changes when Chalich came in. So he IS adjusting his offense based on skill sets...not sure what would you have him do? Run Delaney's offense? Because THAT'S what these kids were recruited to play in. That's why, whenever a new head coach comes in, teams usually take a step backwards until the players are in place, the full offense is in place, and has been for multiple weeks/months.

To expect miracles after essentially 5 weeks is being just a TAD unreasonable.

While I love the Griz, I honestly don't care WHAT our record is at the end of this year and I honestly don't care whether we're in the playoffs or not. We're now down our starting center, starting QB and our starting DT. Might be time to temper expectations just a bit.

I believe Stitt was the right hire FOR THE LONG TERM, not for how he did in the first three weeks.

Not sure what that's got to do with it, but I live in Texas now, so you do the math.

I was at the NDSU game.

I respect your opinion, and your dialog explaining it, although if I may I can only agree to disagree, and believe me I hope you are right and I'm am wrong, for I belief that both of our concerns are the Griz.

Only time will tell and unfortunately in a college football program, time could have a defesting effect.

EffectIMO the program has deminished since mystical scandals and unnecessary firing of staff.

Again in my mind and my opinion, I believe coach Stitt, is little over his head, and the competition he is up against is way over the level that he came from, not to say that he is not a good coach, because again in time will tell.

There is more to being the head coach than just running the offense, and again in my mind and opinion the last two games and especially Liberty, this team was unprepared.

With that said, we now enter conference play, with a team that is beat up physically, so what I am try to say we will see the effect of coach Stitt and what he can accomplish as far as his first year as the head coach of the University of Montana. He has an enduring test in front of him.

 

[Grizzoola]

Personally I think your full of Stitt.

I've been offended a long time about this misuse of Coach Stitt's name as a substitute for that well-known substance. Let's grow up and stop using the coach's name in this context. It's juvenile, beyond belief, and sometimes I wonder that's where the majority of football fans are. No, not sometimes: all the time.

 

[XxSpectrexX]

I really don't get how some Griz "fans" would even think of criticizing a new coach three games in. Come back in a couple years when he has had time to recruit to his system. As far as his system being criticized, it seems to me it's similar to what Oregon, Baylor, TCU and even Ol Miss and some others are doing now. They are kicking ass and winning games. Three weeks after Stitts Griz win arguably one of the top 3 games ever played in WaGriz, on National TV, against the no 1 team in FCS and some are moaning. It's not a righteous demand for perfection, it's just plain whining.

Damn skippy... Stitt is what we need. Once he has the players he recruited based on his system all will be fine. Everyone else is just complaining about stupid shit 3 games into his first season as coach...wtf?

Nice work fellas, an bunch of posters that disagree but don't resort to name calling. All Egrizers should read these.

:lol: :lol: Context. Someone who believes Bob Stitt is a good hire= Full of Stitt. Personally I think he's fine but I'm in disagreement on a 3 year time table. One thing for sure...I'm glad Bob is a lot more thick skinned than you. It pretty much rolls off his back. Fact is he has a Stitt happens shirt.

It's still juvenile, and good it "rolls off his back." (Not so sure about that.) Why would he publicly resent this kind of "PR"? How would you like it if some idiot friend coined your name as some kind of disgusting thing? It's juvenile. Grow up! Give this guy the dignity he deserves. This is not a junior high playground. Or is it? Stop using Coach Stitt's name in the context it's now being used!

Yeah, let the Cats fans or other fans do it, but Griz Nation should be better than that. (I would hope.)

I heard the 'Scats coach uses Stitt's name in disgusting ways too...then again, I also hear he's quite the horse's Ash. So there's that.

He's a pretty good golfer. Pretty strong minded.

 

[grizpack]

Yeah. I am pretty sure he is offended. He probably wants to kick the Stitt out of whoever started the "Stitt happens" shirts at School of Mines??? :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[Mmont]

Once Stitt recruits the players that fit his system, they will be fine. Until then, it is going to be tough. He needs a qb like Prukop that can flat out light it up. It has nothing to do with his system. It is the fact that he is stuck with players recruited for a much different system.

 

[Mmont]

The expectations on here for Stitt this year are a joke. To expect his system to work with players recruited for Delaney's does not work. His system is fine but he needs time to recruit players that fit. He needs a qb like Prukop who flat out lights it up. They generated 718 yds of offense yesterday. Stitts system will be able to do that with the right players.

 

[Mmont]

When Stitt gets the players to fit his offensive system they will be fine. Until then it will be a struggle. He needs a qb like Prokrop who is flat lights out. That 718 yds. of offense yesterday was impressive. Stitts system is capable of the same.

 

[AZGrizFan]

I think we got it the first time Mr. Prukop, but thanks for repeating it. Twice.

This is a stitty conversation!

Coach Shitt would give both testicles for a dual threat QB...and if he wouldn't, he should.

 

[Allezchat]

So were you happy that #Stitthappens was trending on Twitter after the NDSU game or were you offended? You can't really have it both ways. Though I get how a person would prefer other griz fans not using it "in vain".

How does the fact that at Mines he only won one playoff game translate to whether or not he will be successful at this level? Is this an explanation for how the last two games have gone?

Also, if people are saying that once he gets his players in place, among those "his qb", why not pull the redshirt off of Willy P., that you guys are all so enamored with, and see what he can do. Because, if next year, Stitt brings in "his qb", then that guy should beat out everyone else by the time he's a redshirt sophmore or so, which would mean Willy doesn't start his last two years thus wasting his redshirt year. If the other qb's aren't up to Gus's IQ of the offense. Granted, we don't know where WP stands with his knowlege of it either. This way, he doesn't start his last year. Under this example, at least. I don't know.

Ironic, talking about next year after game 3.
