75 and PR, Stitt did not publicly criticize Brady or publicly throw him under the bus. He had a private conversation that accidentally went public. It shouldn't have happened, it looks bad, and he has to deal with it.

Stop acting like coaches don't critique players harshly in private conversations. I guarantee Hauck said much worse things in private conversations, but you are both smart guys and you already know that is true.

Stitt didn't just decide to publicly criticize a player. This was not a public statement. A private statement became public. It was a mistake, he will have to face it, I'm sure he will learn from it, but nothing he said was or is terrible for a coach to dicuss.

So, who do you think Stitt was intending to talk to? Seems like an odd choice of words.

I'm thinking it's the drop down QB he's recruiting

Unless that QB has been granted a release, Stitt Tweeting the QB is a major recruiting violation. He's not that dumb.

:lol: Holy shit. Does this d-bag seriously think Simis running zone read against NDSU would have saved us in that game? HA! He needs to go back to coaching "mathletes." Too funny
That post singlehandedly proved to me that 75 knows nothing about football, is related to Simis, or just loves to argue. He probably thinks Simis' OT fumbles were someone else's fault.

Both fumbles were forced by Hayden Stout, if you actually watched the game. So yes, it actually was "someone else's fault." Stitt admitted he went "conservative" in the second half to "preserve the lead." For those who have the feeling that "we've done this before with the same result" they are likely somewhat more astute than the poster. Stitt also noted he tried to shift more to a passing game in the second half, while running up the play numbers (99 at ISU) because, as he astutely noted "you have to pass sometime."

I do like the logic. "Trying something that we didn't try wouldn't have produced anything different than what we did try and were failing miserably at and we know that just because!"

It continues to be of psychological interest that "game films on Makena Simis" exposed our whole strategy but that "game films on Brady Gustafson" didn't, even though that is clearly what happened at NDSU. And of course, the lesson learned long ago, that even d-bags might have picked up along the way, when something isn't working over and over, try something else. Yet, perhaps because this was on national TV, something needed to be proven about the Stitt Air Raid, results be damned.

UM has a very good passing quarterback. He set a record. And he can run better than any other QB on the team. Aiming at his qualities, Stitt had six of the best quarters UM played during the year. But, at each point where different strategies produced very positive results, Stitt would return to his preferred strategy, which produced negative results with Cal Poly and Liberty, at PSU where he clung to it much like he did later at NDSU, a near loss in the second half of ISU, and a blowout to NDSU.

If you want to have some fun with statistics now that we have a full season of them, the following are of interest if the performances of the individual QBs are homogenized, that is, their performances across the quarters they played in are adjusted to a "seasonal" format (as though they each played the entire season, every quarter).

Rushing (yds)
Brady 60
Chad 312
Makena 904

[Our actual leading season rusher was JN at 855. Statistically, Makena was our leading rusher. As it actually was, he was our third leading rusher playing just 13 quarters. His yds during the brief play at EWU are not included in Makena's totals].

Passing (yds)
Brady 1984
Chad 908
Makena 740

Total, passing + rushing (yds)
Brady 4126
Chad 3372
Makena 2960

Percentage of rushing yds to passing yds
Brady 1%
Chad 8%
Makena 23%

Touchdown Passes
Brady 25
Chad 22
Makena 28

Passing Efficiency
Brady 122.5
Chad 126.3
Makena 122.0

Interceptions (adjusted season total)
Brady 19
Chad 7
Makena 16

Aggregate team points/game
Brady 32
Chad 24
Makena 30

Aggregate team points/season
Brady 412
Chad 316
Makena 392

However, if the MSU/EWU games are seen as extreme outliers and removed from the data pool, but PSU remains in the data pool, the results are as follows:

Aggregate team points/game
Brady 20
Chad 24
Makena 30

Aggregate team points/season
Brady 266
Chad 316
Makena 392

Merry Christmas!

I am going shopping. Just starting.

Gawd you are a bitter little man. You are, you do realize, the champion of claiming that people have said things that no one ever said. And if "game films" were so significant after the UND game as you specifically claimed, why would no one rely on "other" game films? Why was that one so special to you?

Awesome! How many scholarships can he lose for this one?
