Why Isn't Pease Being Given More Attention Again?

..and remember he was our OC in 1995....just sayin...
That is not correct. Mick Dennehy was the OC in 1995. Pease became the OC in 1996 after Read resigned and Dennehy was selected as head coach. Pease was QB coach in 1995.

Well the Montana QB's had a pretty good year in 1995...
and the 1996 Grizzly offense wasn't bad either. :ugeek:

Well from what I have seen and heard, the monied intelligentsia are not that impressed with RE so maybe he's trying to climb into a perch he isn't capable of sitting in? Many of those individuals actually care about football at UM and realize that coaches rarely "hang" in their social circle. And they don't need to. They need to have a team that wins and consists of good citizens. It is the rare coach that played sports as a child and also hung out in debate and chess club. I think RE overestimates his understanding of either end of that spectrum. He is a cloistered academic that is detached from reality. It is nice that he has found academia and he should leave this decision to others.
While I agree with everything you said, I think TNT is on to something. I have felt from the beginning that RE was more concerned about the wine and cheese events AFTER the game and that football was just a "neat" thing to do on Saturday afternoons. Somehow he strikes me as one of the asinine people that are constantly asking "what happened!?!?" And "did we score yet?" And driving the people around him nuts with his incredible lack of even the basics of what he's watching on the field. Just my $.02, others opinions may very.

RE has told me to my face that he prefers basketball. I don't think he really likes football and the fact that it is critical to funding and enrollment at this school irks him.
Pretty much my impression as well and I've spent some time with him. I'm a chemist myself and am aware of his (underwhelming) academic record. But it's not just him; he's swayed by a lot of the same sentiment from his faculty. This just in; this is not unusual, particularly at a University as far left as UM.

True all of that. The day he got rid of Jim Foley he became a God to the rest of the Faculty. He is going to force a move up with in a few years.
 
So will the move up crowd hate RE if he forces a move up, just because he is so terrible? Or will they be on board?

I'm just trying to keep up...

They just trade places. The move up crowd becomes the stay where we are crowd and we get a whole new move up crowd.

The good news is PRs head finally explodes trying to come up with numbers that while they prove he was right to stay put before ALSO justify the move up.
 
The sooner RE leaves the better the entire U will become. He has had very little to zero skill in obtaining money for the school. Yes I do know all the recent flows of dollars to the U make RE look like gold but 85% of that money was coming anyway and it just fell right into his lap.

RE wants UM to be the Harvard of the west! That has been the joke right after he slid into the job. He has poor management skills and like all have noted he likes cheese and wine during the games, he is more in tune with the money people in his box @ the games! His wife Mary is a fine lady and rest assured he married up!

Haslam knows he must bring in a clean coach and only a few will meet Engstroms approval so he does have his work cut out.

Pease has some issues. Hauck had some while he was here. Stitt has zero issues but some are afraid he can't make it in the big time.

Yawn....I'll take Stitt.

What issues did Pease have in your opinion? I don't think we want a beta for a coach do we?

Stitt isn't so crystal clean in his past as many others on here believe...and I hope Haslem finds out beforehand. He's has some skeletons in the closet just like Pease and Hauck. I doubt none of them have anything that bad where they shouldn't get that job based solely on that.
 
quote="aschmidtacular"]I really don't know anything about Stitt even though I live in Denver now. Honestly the buzz around here is about CSU Pueblo, not Mines. Pueblo is 12-1 and playing in the D-II semis and beat Mines 20-12 this year at Mines. Perhaps Royce got his D-II Colorado schools messed up.

However, I can tell you about Pease. My best friend was a WR at Boise State from 04-08. Pease got there in 2006 and was his WR coach. Apparently Bryan Harsin was the OC in name only. During the week Harsin had to go to Pease and "ask his permission" to run plays during that week's game. Everything was run through Pease first then Harsin would call the approved plays during the game. My buddy loves Pease to this day and loved playing for him for what it is worth. He also desperately wants the job from what I am told.

After Pflu was hired O'Day told me that he thought Pease was "a staff away." Now that O'Day is gone that changes obviously. I don't know how Haslam feels about Pease but I know they worked together briefly at NAU in 2000 and from what I hear it was not entirely positive.[/quote]

So Brent was not only the architect/play caller of the Griz mid 90's offensive dominance but was the same for Boise in the 2000's when they had pretty special teams. There is a reason Peterson did whatever needed to make sure Brent was on his offensive staff at U-Dub last year. Nick Saban at Alabama doesn't offer you the job to run his offense unless you have some special abilities. Brent will be tough, but fair, to all involved at the end of the day. If you are lazy or out to lunch during practice, see ya. Players at every program he has coached at say this. With his recruiting ties to Texas, Florida, California....we will have more speed at some positions were it won't hurt. Don't forget that he knows Oregon/Washington/Idaho/MT for recruiting like the back of his hand as well. I hope they give him his shot to see where he can take the program.

Unfortunately, I think our AD and President are too stupid to look beyond the internet bigfoot.
