What a mess

[EverettGriz]

SMFH.

Dude, I'm far more connected than you are. I know you. I know your connections. I know mine.

And I'll match them pound for pound any day of the week and twice on Sunday.



Why is it that you think your shit doesn't stink? You're not the only one on this board who has access to information. Not the only one who "knows people". You're not the only one who donates $$ to the program. WTF do you pretend all the time when everyone knows you're completely full of shit? Do you really suffer from such low self esteem that you feel you need to gain it by playing the BMOC on a freakin' message board? Sad. Truly. Sad and pathetic.

I might be in the minority on egriz but I'd like to see an outsider come in (like Stitt) and coach ourselves into a great program again!

I like Bobby as a guy but I'd rather see Pease or Stitt, simply because I know they will take us to the promised land. Bobby was and is a C+ coach. Good guy but is simply speaking not a great coach. He uses the old tried and true methods but does not use NEW and innovative coaching. That is what the others will bring and I think we will see one of them come out in front.

Good call. We had that in Pflu...went backwards with Mick, and now need a coach who will be with the times. Football has changed in the last 5 years. Need someone who gets that.
Stitt, Pease...those seem like the best choices out of this group that we keep hearing about.

Also, BRAVO! A coherent post that I understood! Good on ya!

Is it conceivable that the push back was so strong and vehement yesterday that Haslam had to backpedal?

Oh Jesus Christ...

Pushback?

95% of the people outside the "Hauck inner circle" were raving about Stitt as a potential hire.

Not true. I don't know a single person close to the program, in the program, big donor, or former player who supports hiring outside of the greater Griz circle. Even on egriz, there isn't huge support for hiring outside of the greater Griz circle.

Those people do not know football. Big donors.. wank, they want their Mo Club drinkin' buddy back. Those people who -know- football, Stitt is the hottest shit coaching candidate in years. ZOMG, the big donors want Bobby back because he was a Mo Club regular. Those of us who follow football outside of Montana the Big Sky.. we realize what a huge hire this could potentially be. If he's good enough for Bruce Feldman, Dan Wolken, Bryan Fischer, and everyone in the college football community, he's good enough for me. #StittHappens

Let me get this straight. Current and ex-Griz players, including current and former NFL players (including Dave Dickenson), don't know football? Big donors and supporters, including former players, former NFL players, ones with kids who have played for the Griz and/or other college teams, Dave Paoli, etc., don't know football? Local businessmen who support UM athletics in a big way and attend all games don't know football? Former UM coaches don't know football? QB Club members who religiously attend meetings and provide financial support don't know football? Parents of current and former players don't know football? While Stitt may be a very good coach and very good hire, your statement is beyond silly.

Bottom line is does Haslem know football? He's the one doing the hiring(or supposed to be). Stitt AND Pease seem to be very offensive minded....Bobby's been there. Some think because Stitt hasn't coached at The Div 1 level he is somehow not "qualified." That's bull! Pease brings great recruiting AND offense to the table. Not to mention he hates the cats :thumb: .
We all know about Hauck. These are very good hires but I'm leaning toward the offensive side of the ball. Ty would be retained in all cases and I feel comfortable with him. I will be excited with any of the above but Pease seems to have a little of both Stitt and Hauck plus some extra. I just hope we don't have another fiasco like Friday.

Go Griz!

Agree. Also the fiasco from Friday would not happen if the narcissistic trolls and social media would actually show patience and let the process play out. Some potential candidates may very well still be coaching and not need or want their name out their yet (ummm... there are still ethical, moral, coaches and athletic directors out there)

 

[Liquor up front!]

Does anyone else think that Kent is setting up his employees and finding out who is forwarding the information outside the "circle of trust"? I use to have a boss that would tell us things in private and he would ask us to keep it under wraps, and then he would sit back and find out how long it would take to get out amongst the other employees, or in this case, egriz, missoulian, twitter, facebook and "insiders". It is pretty easy to find out who has Kents back and who is still passing info outside the circle!

What if it is not an employee, but instead one of the committee members or one of the candidates themselves?

My post was more of a hypothetical than anything. It could very well be the candidates/committee members. There is so many "insiders" posting what they know, but none of them are correct thus far, that it is either Haslem is in over his head, or he is finding out who is trustworthy. Personally, I think Haslem knows exactly what is being said and knows exactly what he is doing!

 

[Griz1]

It seems to me like what is called a mess on this board in not unlike what is not called a mess at Wisconsin. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/wisconsins-alvarez-no-offer-badgers-job-yet-170012918--ncaaf.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Because it is Wisconsin it is legitimate but here being Kent is involved and its Montana its a mess? Where is the logic in that line of thinking? This stuff happens everywhere at every level lets cut the athletic department some slack. There will be a new coach hired. It will more than likely be announced in a few days.

We will all have a chance to voice our opinion on the new coach and his staff in the very near future.

If Kent is busy "setting up his employees" instead of focusing on the coaching search we have WAY bigger problems to get straight.

Again, my post was hypothetical, but I find it amusing that you don't think Kent is capable of doing two things at once. You must think very little of his abilities!

 

[bigkid]

It's a conspiracy I tell ya!! It was started by cat fans to scare off potential head coaching candidates. We're doomed!

 

[GrizSpartan]

Feel free to add to this list, bitch session, suggestions, whatever (hell, I don't even know what to call it).
University of Montana, how about doing your best to keep your fans and media updated as to who are the candidates, and how far into the process we are? I understand and respect Kent is beyond busy with this, but would it hurt to have a designated person from the school to give public an update every few days?

All we really know from the school at this point are"
Kent wants a hire by Christmas
Preference is with an offensive minded coach.
Supposedly Stitt has not been offered the job.

I am sure I missed something here, feel free to add or correct what more we know from the school.

Pretty much everything else has been everyone guessing and trying to Pease together this puzzle of who, what, when, where, and how.

I understand that some possible candidates may still have obligations with their current jobs. However would it hurt to just say something general like, "We are waiting for the football season to be done for "x" number of candidates". For the candidates that are finished with their football seasons, "we are moving forward with so and so".

Why is this being played so damn close to the vest and tight lipped by Montana? It is frustrating and bullStitt!!!! Other schools are taking the time to at least make general comments without misleading anyone. I am tired of all the rumors. I do know if the school would do a better job at using the media for updates and information, it would help put a rest to all the crap. Not only is this frustrating for our fan base, but one would think whoever the candidates are, would be a little frustrated and upset at not knowing more.

Seriously, if you were a final 5 or 10 candidate for a job, then hear through the media "Such and such will be or is the new coach at where ever, how would you react and what would you think? I am sure a few candidates picked up a phone or sent a text to Kent or whoever else in the athletic department when the Bob Stitt story leaked by multiple sources.

Has Montana made any efforts to give local, regional, national media any information or updates? These guys have a job too, and unfortunately when the direct source is not cooperating with the media, they turn to other sources to try getting a scoop. I'd be happy to hear something like, from this point forward such and such with whatever media source will be our official media contact. Only this source will be provided official updates Montana's coaching job.

At least when the GRIZ filled the position after Hauck left, there were some periodical updates through the Missoulian. Could some of this be due to Dave Guffey's retirement taking away a key source for these kind of things? If so, how about a general statement, "We are doing our best to keep our fans, media, and public updated. Due to Dave Guffey's upcoming retirement, we have more on our plate than normal. The university appreciates your interest, patience, and understanding regarding this manner."

Why is Montana keeping so much in the dark in this hire? I hope the results of the new hire will be much better than the path to get there.

Relax and enjoy the process. Good skillful work takes time. Be patient.

I find it amusing that you'd buy into a conspiracy theory like that. You're PERFECT for eGriz. Welcome.
