When Stitt leaves, who should be the next coach?

[whitefishbear]

Obviously, Grady Bennett.

I thought Andy Thompson was going to be here interviewing this weekend?

They couldn't make the 2 night stay at PR's lake house happen.

Almost fell off my chair with this one

I'll play along. Assuming for one the Maroonblood gang is right, and Stitt's intentions have been leaked, which makes whoever in the athletic dept. who leaked it, an idiot because it could very well cost him his job based on what I know of Haslem, I can tell you for a FACT there's going to be some upper-classmen that will be gone too, and potentially ONE VERY BIG RECRUIT. Also, the whole "the Mines guys should be fired or quit but all former Griz players who are assitants have no culpability and should be retained" crowd, don't hold your breath on that one either. Just because they're former Griz will NOT mean they will be retained. That's ALSO A FACT. So those of you who wish for a new coaching staff, you're essentially wishing for a lot of your ex-Griz to be out of a job too. That's the coaching gig.

Who'd want a 3* QB anyway? Sheesh...

Why would Stitt leaving cost us this QB? I don't buy for one minute that the main reason he committed was because of Stitt. The kid is only 5'11". He will probably not be getting any significant FBS offers, so where else is he gonna go? Yes, size DOES MATTER! Ask PR's wife!

If Stitt leaves, football will cease to exist...... So don't even suggest such a thing.

I dont think being 5'11 is a non-qualifier for FBS level football. There are far to many instances of successful short QB's for that to be legitimate.

Gresch Jensen; when Stitt is of retirement age Jensen will have had 4 years of play QB1 for the Griz, perhaps a few years in the pros and 10 years of coaching experience. He seems to have a good mind for football. A perfect choice.

I get a laugh out of all the derogatory comments on this board regarding Stitt coming from the lowly DII head coaching ranks. The only 2 national championships won by UM were coached by guys that were previously DII head coaches.

Thanks for your opinion, Mrs. Stitt

Name 5 of them in the last 20 years.

Michael Vick possibly? I don't think he was a legitimate 6 foot.

Drew Brees is 6'. Chase Daniel is 6'. So, in 20 years, with 105 FBS teams, that is over 2000 QBs playing, and only 5-6 of them were below 6'? Kinda proves my point, right?

 

[EWURanger29]

Vernon Adams tore it in the Pac-12 when he transferred to Oregon for a year. Almost as much as he tore up at EWU.

At the collegiate level, it really depends on offensive styles. You won't see a lot of those guys in a pro-style offense, which is why guys like Adams don't translate to the NFL...Russell Wilson being the exception.

Growler connection confirmed, with a reference to another poster's junk, of course :clap:

I would consider Rich Wright. He is the head coach of Northwest Missouri State. They have recently won 3 national championships including last year and are 8-1 this year. He just took over the head coaching spot this year but he was their defensive coordinator the last six. Their defense gives up an average of 8.7 points per game. He has been on a winning staff and knows how to recruit and coach a tough defense.

Nice comeback. Actually a UM alum and 61 year Griz Fan. Just curious why the DII thing is even brought up considering the facts.

I'm sure there are many many more. Just because someone didn't name them off the top of their head...Off the top of my head I know two that are pretty short right now that are pretty good. USF's and Penn States. I don't remember their names or how tall but yah.

I think most men, especially those that are athletic, are above 6'0
