After missing the playoffs 2 years in a row and losing to the Cats 2 years in a row, how long do you think it should take a new coach, Hauck or another, to get UM back to dominating the Big Sky and going to the national championship game 3 out of 7 years?
1 year? 2 years? Note that Hauck said he thought it looked like this group of players may be accelerating the time period.
I find it funny that some of you and Stitt thought that UM needed to rebuild after the two prior seasons which the UM finished no. 12 and 8 in the nation. Some kind of rebuilding Stitt did. Took us out of the top 25 towards about 30.
Mining, you are the one pushing an agenda and fake news.
Are we really going to do this again?
Yes. They lost a number of close games in Stitt’s second and third year. With a roster full of freshman and sophomores. Against a number of very good teams like Weber with many seniors who went to the NFL in subsequent years.
We saw what Stitt was able to do in year one with a more experienced team. The roster turnover in year two was significant (by design) which resulted in a very talented but a far less experienced team. Plus he was down a few scholarships.
I still would have loved to see that Griz team two years later as juniors and seniors.
Blah, blah, blah, you don't care...
Again, the point is that the insulting lie that is used to continue to smear Gresch on this board bothers me because I used to believe Griz fans were better than that. If we were then this thread, based on an easily disproven rumor, would have died after one day. Instead it's gone on for more than a week trashing a kid who represented Montana Football and the university incredibly well in the brief time he was here.
And the fact that the Hauck worshipers didn't blink when he said he’d need up to seven year to rebuild demonstrates to me that it was never about Stitt’s wins and losses or where he was in his rebuilding process. It was about politics, big money boosters, and sadly, bad fans who are willing to attack former coaches players.
That's why I rarely come to this board. And contribute even less.
