Stitt

Yes, the players will be ready, but so will the State College players.
All the talk about the play-offs is moot until we beat State.

Joe Glenn was/is also one of the single BIGGEST Bob Stitt advocates on the face of the earth. They are extremely good friends. Stitt absolutely admires everything about Joe, and Joe campaigned hard for him to get the Montana job. So, you might want to pick a different guy as an example to portray Stitt in a negative light. I'm not saying there aren't examples out there for you, but Glenn isn't one of them. Don't take my word for it though. Ask him yourself, or, if you can't get ahold of him, go back and look at the interviews he did with the Missoulian in the weeks leading up to, and in the days following Stitt's hire.
"Appeal to authority" is always a logical fallacy, but what can your comment possibly have to do with observations about Stitt's actual performance and his relationship with the players this year? Is "remember what Joe Glenn said," an excuse or a rationalization?

Joe Glenn is one of my favorite people, but if you asked Joe Glenn for a quote about just about anybody, he's going to be as positive as he possibly can. It's who he is. Other than really bad losing streaks and utter failure in two programs in which he was given plenty of time and patience to develop his "own recruits" -- a theory that seemed to have failed even with a proven DI coach -- his personal "coaching" skills are remarkable.

"Consider the source" isn't always a negative comment about the source, its a comment about understanding who you are quoting when you are trying to be a "journalist."

And Joe Glenn's relationship with his players is a matter of a record he earned himself. Bob Stitt has to create his own record. Perhaps you can look up in your vast archives when Joe Glenn ever publicly berated his players for "lacking fire" and that they had been lacking it "for a while now," and that he actually hoped that by losing key games, "some of these guys might get it."

Look those up, will you? It may be my memory, but I just don't remember Joe Glenn ever publicly saying things like that about his players. Maybe Stitt can "admire" that about him.

Coaching matters...as I watched that UNC game in the stands of Nottingham Field, I was throughly disappointed. I watched Stitt yell and scream at his players. It didn't instill confidence. It didn't provide motivation. His lack of ingenuity in the red zone showed. His team...HIS TEAM...is slumping...and that is ALWAYS on the coach.

I work with a guy who worked at a liquor store in Greeley when Joe Glen won UNC's last national championship. He told me Joe showed up after the game and bought 30 cases of beer for the team. My point is that the players need to believe in the coach. The COACH needs to believe in his players. Nothing short of contributing to the delinquency of a minor is what Stitt needs right now. Let's beat the Cats. Let's drink 30 cases of beer. Let's get back to winning!!!!

Go GRIZ!

I highly doubt our coach bought 30 cases of beer for his team that half consists of underage kids. If he did that is not something I would boast or be proud about.

I didn't say I bought 30 cases...nor did I say that Joe Glen boasted that HE bought the beer. The bottom line is believe what you want, but Joe Glen loved his players, and his players loved him.

Strange, Joe Glenn had plenty of opportunities to offer coach Stitt, a position,how come that great advocate never got around to that.

Are you sure Glenn never offered Stitt a position? All I am saying.
 
I have openly admitted that I am one who has gone from being a gung-ho Stitt supporter to one who is quite skeptical and believes that if we don't improve enough to compete for the Big Sky Crown and get at least 2 home playoff games next year, then that should be Stitt's last year as our head coach.

My question goes out to those who are still strong supporters of #StittHappens.

If we don't destroy a Scat team tomorrow that has won only 1 conference game and we are playing at home, then will you begin to believe that Stitt is not as great as he led us to believe? Just wonderin' and I hope that by this time year, I am looking forward to multiple playoff games at WaGriz.

Stitt said so. But it is interesting that an alleged "reporter" never put two-and-two together.

I have seen quite a few of THESE posts...it's HIS team :oops:
Good Thing for a home Cat-Griz game. A decisive win today wouldnt hurt

Do people think Stitt is the only coach who yells at his players? :roll:

Maybe that the problem...the players dont feel like HIS guys! Bohl doesnt have that issue at Wyoming with the guys he has inherited & brought in. First it was getting his "system" installed, then it was wait until I get MY guys in MY system. Stitt has a tendency to deflect accountability.

I heard Mike Leach say today "if a system was all you needed...then you wouldn't need a coach!" That kind of sums up my feelings on the first two Stitt years. Unfortunately, I had high hopes for him but he appears so out of his league. Ty out coached his former Boss today & proved that he's NOT the leader or coach that we thought he was!

Didn't the Griz phenomenal winning streak against the cats end under Glenn -who then said "it was time for the streak to end". Glenn isn't that special either = he won with another coaches recruits

Glenn had a great run at Montana with someone else's recruits, and then we he was able to have his own recruits at Wyoming and SD: pure crap. Some much for the "he needs his own recruits" theory.

+2

and as I remember he played an injured QB who couldn't throw....almost like lost the game because he didn't care - he was focused on WY
