The PSU game was an ass kicking because Stitt limited Simis only to throwing long passes in impossible conditions. The PSU QB tried it once too, with disasterous results. No QB including Gustafson could have passed long that day. We have ZERO running attack, which doomed us to being throttled. Do ya THINK that perhaps having a tight end, and a blocking back on our roster JUST MAY HAVE HELPED US in that PSU game????? And, who was it that got rid of all of our TEs, and converted the best blocking back in the league to a D-tackle??? Inquiring minds want to know!

You may be correct Steve but the running game is actually getting better. No star, but the o-line has improved to a point that attitude is starting to show on the field. But Bob still has more actual success as a head college football coach than you do. Very few who comment more than a few times per season on here have actual head college football coaching as part of their resume. I actually like reading some of your opinions and insights but having to filter the garbage you throw in is getting real old (and yes an know others contribute to it but you can act more mature and let it go).

The bolded maybe the dumbest thing you have ever posted...and that is saying something....
I also guess that the Griz will never be able to compete without TE's and FB's....I mean there are no offenses that can without those.....

You're right, he's evolved and that's a sign that he's not as stubborn as some make him out to be. But I still like his aggressive approach, and it will pay over time. His unique approach gives us a shot to win games that we wouldn't otherwise win, and he's willing to fine-tuned his philosophy to win more of the games that we're "supposed" to win. True, we were very lucky against ISU, but we were really unlucky to lose Brady - in retrospect it's clear that the other QB's aren't cut out for this system. I hear that Pflug is looking really good, so hopefully if Brady gets injured next year we won't have such a tough job replacing him and winning games.

So when we lose, is it talent level or being out coached? You seem to vacillate back and forth like you're bipolar or something....[/quote]
I am not convinced Stitt was "totally out-coached" in any game. I think coaching strategy likely resulted in the loss to Weber State, which really ticked me off, but Weber ended up with a better record than they've had in a while, so they may have been a tougher opponent than it appeared then. Portland State seemingly has a better team than the Griz and the weather was a factor on the road, so it is hard to blame coaching there. Cal Poly made heckuva FG at the end against the Griz, then punched Arizona State in the mouth the next week and played them even into the 4th quarter, so Poly was playing well in September. Don't know what to say about Idaho State but the coaches don't commit turnovers. After the loss to Weber State, there was little margin for error and I am grateful for the lucky break in Pocatello. The good thing is that the season starts over on Saturday, and I think the coaching philosophy has evolved for the better -- like taking a shot at reasonable FG attempts instead of going for the jugular on 4th down. With the first-string QB back, and Jeremy Calhoun now getting red zone touches behind an improving offensive line, things look better for the Griz than a few weeks ago. Gotta give Stitt credit where credit is due, and I'm looking forward to Saturday.

I think the ISU coaching staff did a horrible job in that game. With KVA out, they could have run the ball down our throat all night with Finney. They did us a favor when they threw the ball. Horrible recognition of what could have been exploited.Atlanta Griz1 said:
Goody. Old Atlanta/Growler is out of jail again and is allowed to tell us what he learned while away. Lets hope he has reformed after taking all of the required "how to get along" classes. Most folks that are in the system actually learn how to rob steal and beat the common folks out of their money and things. Because he is already rich and is really a nice and loving husband I think he will conform to the rules of egriz law. Now about football? To grade him one must use a curve, but because he is the only one on the curve one needs to slow the game down so he can get on board. Slow down bud.
In any event it's good to see you out on bail. Blast away Atlanta but Stitt is here to stay and he beat EWU and MSU..... and made my day. No, actually my season!

It took him some time to show a temper and burning passion. I get fired up when I see a coach show that kind of passion for his players and the game. Little things like that get players to literally run through a brick wall for you. :thumb:
