Bobby was 80-17 overall and 47-6 in conference play. He won or tied for the Big Sky championship 7 years in a row. It's unbelievable how far the football product has fallen off. Yet the sugar coaters continue to make excuse after excuse for each loss and lost season. Bring Bobby back!!!
I'm not sold on the bring Bobby back train just yet. Mostly because I don't think he would come back. But, also because I was never really into him in the first place. Here are my rudimentary thoughts.
Bobby Hauck
Predictable run, run, pass offense (negative)
He recruited players that excelled in his offense (Positive)
Bend but don't break defense (negative)
He recruited players that excelled in his defense (Positive)
(Though, I'm not sure if great recruitment was due to Bobby or due to the history of the program.)
Special Teams was pretty awesome
Bob Stitt
Complex pass-heavy offense (positive and negative). He supposedly has never opened up his entire playbook.
Recruitment on offense stinks (negative). He has recruited some exciting players for sure. But, for some reason many players don't excel in his system.
Defense, I don't even know where to start. (negative) We change the overall scheme so much within each game it's no wonder why we get burned for so many long plays.
Recruitment is okay on defense (positive and negative). But, how can players excel when the game plan is inconsistent.
Special teams ugh. Kick/punt coverage has been bad.
