Worst Coaching Job in UM history

[kurtismichael]

Dude...you only have to post once. WTF?

EGRIZ froze up about the time he tried to post, at least on my PC, hence the three posts.

 

[stubbins]

If the team makes it to the playoffs and makes some noise there, it could end up being the best coaching job in UM history.

Not a delany fan....but this is also true. If he does this, he will deserve a big kudos.

 

[kurtismichael]

a class in college fundamentals of coaching defense...one of the principles is, make the defense repect and cover the totality of the field field,,in our case , throw it vertical once in awhile, even if there are no completions....then they at least know we have a "go 9" route in our playbook.........on another subject, just because there are people that post on here 23 times vs. someone who has 2300 posts doe not mean that the 2300 poster is a genius....maybe they should do more listening and less posting....the guy with 23 posts may know what the speak of...

LOL. :thumb: That is great a few years ago Growler1 tried to tell me I didn't know what I was talking about because I had only joined EGRIZ in 2008. I've been a Griz fan since the early 80s as a kid. Oh well, guess we all better post more.

This is the number I care about this season and it is the reason why Delaney was hired. We haven't had any off field incidents since he was hired. The guy is returning us to being a diciplined program. This loss stings and there were mistakes made by the players and coaches, but it wasn't a hack job. Yesterday was the best our team looked all season. The kids are buying into the program and aren't getting away with any behavior that will get in the way of the new culture. Proud of the coaches. Hope they keep up the good work!

Speaking of Growler. We lost him. He is missed. Why? He was so critical when we were doing well.

Now we need him back to explain how "well" we are doing. You know the drill, two negatives make a positive.

Doom and Gloom? Hell no. We are the griz. Not some sleazball spit in your face on National TV msu type of team.

Ty Gregorak is a fine man and an excellent coach. More on that later.

It is a young team. We turned the ball over in all three of our losses. Stop the turnovers and we win all of our games. PS that Canada fumble was NOT a fumble.

A 15 point turnaround in the final 4.30 of the 4th quarter can be the biggest hurdle to a Griz winning season in many years. Lots of finger pointing but be honest, play calling, clock management, and poor execution of special teams prevented a UM win. I think it will be very difficult, mentally, for this team to forget their 3 losses and how they came about....like a snowball, it grows...

You don't burn two time outs with 8 minutes left in the game. That was piss poor coaching pure and simple.

I agree. I knew that blowing that TO would come back to haunt them. What about running to the wrong side of the field in the third quarter on third down, instead of running to the left so that our FG kicker would have a straight kick, instead of forcing him to kick from a drastic angle? awful play call. Fortunately he just barely sneaked that kick inside the goal post, by about a yard.

But the worst play calling was at the 6 minute mark, when we had the ball and decided to play to not lose, instead of playing to win. Three consecutive handoffs to the back, gaining one yard, and punting to the. I hate coaches who do not have the guts to throw the ball and run their normal offense in that situation.

 

[Dean Wormer]

How soon some forget about 2 fumbles inside the f***[*] 10 yrd line.

Jordan Canada DID NOT fumble in the 1st QTR. Get it? The replay clearly showed he had possession until he hit the ground. GET IT? It was a fu*king bad call. Don't lay this on this kid. He performed heroically in this game. He & Peter did great in the game. Ok, ok, Peter did fumble later, but he & JC got the Griz into the red zone. Notice Dan Moore was not in the game, say, after 1st QTR? Poor coaching? Hell, Peter & Jordan & the OL chewed up the Eagle defense. The only problem in this game was the Griz had no pass rush. Adams had all kinds of time.

I agree. That play happened right in front of us in the end zone. That was not a fumble. Besides the blown fumble call, the EWU defender hit Canada with a helmet-to-helmit hit, which should have been a penalty, giving us the ball back. No call, then they compounded it by calling it a fumble.

It's pretty obvious the coaching staff should all resign and that e-griz should coach the team. You could call the plays on the big screen and just have the other team close their eyes while its being called. In order to get the plays in on time we can all take turns calling a play.

Oh jeez talk about Chaos..PR calling one play then having remanded by Alpha!

Would that be all of UM history, or just since 1986 when the griz invented the game.

With the long, long, long, drive home from Cheney, with a stop for dinner at Tomato Street, I kept having this recurring thought, that I could not shake, even after again today after watching my Tivo recording of the game, the same thought keeps reoccurring.

That thought is,..... would the Griz have lost the last two games, if the 2011 Coach Of The Year, and the supporting and best AD the university has ever had, were still in place.

Well, the Griz team, and supporting fans will just have to live what has been put in place, not necessarily their first choice, however that is what is in place, by no actions of their own.

Now, coach Delaney has done so far the job I feel he was hired for, and that is not necessarily to win football games, a conference championship, or even a national championship, but to instill discipline and keep the team out of the Missoulian and the newspapers head propagandist. And so far so good.

I admire coach Delaney, a great guy from Butte America, and that a plus, however it has occurred to me has coach Delaney not pursued a head coaching job, by his choice, or is there another reason that he has waited till the twilight of his career for this to occur. Just a thought to examine, not an accusation.

My thoughts on the game, was even with the turnovers, the seasoned coaching staff, prevailed, the Griz team played as hard as could have been expected, they were just let down by coaching decision.

That is just my opinion, not going to Colorado, although see ya all in two weeks in Missoula.

With all that said, Egriz-Chris and his crew where definitely the crowd motivators of the section I was in, never a moment of sitting on their hand, and will without a doubt be horse of the throat and demurring on the game they witness yesterday.

No way of sugarcoating a game with some many emotional highs and lows. The Grizzlies played about as hard as they could, and a new coaching staffs made some blunders that could have although not necessarily made a difference in the game. Unfortunately this loss leaves the Griz in a precarious situation, of unlikely playing for a playoff position, and playing the rest of the season for respectability and maintaining stature for future recruiting.

This probably the most realistic post that I've seen on this board in a couple of weeks. The question is, is Delaney going to help recruiting or hurt it?

 

[PlayerRep]

Having a permanent coach and having Delaney is helping recruiting, as well as bringing stability to the coaching staff. In any event, what's the alternative? An interim coach sure wasn't helping recruiting.

If Delaney is not your long term solution then the alternative is a new "long term" coach at the end of the season. It has to happen some time. It might as well be before recruiting season gets in "full swing". What are you going to do, wait another year when Delany's contract is up? With that strategy, you lose one more year of "solid" recruits. The move on Delaney is going to happen anyway. Why not sooner than later?

Who should pay off the rest of Coach D's contract?

 

[HighLineGRIZ]

Delaney has always been one of our better recruiters. I still think UM is an easy sell, regardless of the uncertainty of the future of our coaching staff. It's not an ideal situation by any means, but considering the adversity that our program is facing, he is dealing with it very well.

I agree that another contact "pay off" is a problem but waiting another year could be a problem too. Again, Delaney is just "stop gap". You know it and I know it.

Until you can answer that question, you're just sprinkling pixie dust.

If Delaney is doing well and enjoying it, I could see him staying on longer. The longer he stays, the more likely another good head coach candidate from the staff will emerge, which would lead to better stability in recruiting. CV, you act like the athletic department has an extra quarter of a million or so just lying around not being used. I wonder how the payoffs of O'Day and Pflu will get paid, or what will have to be sacrificed to pay off those obligations.
