[Booo!] [Hiss!]

Not a real big surprise on this one......

Bobby Hauck...Special Teams Coordinator at the real SDSU.

[BisManBison]

Fired after 3 seasons going 21-14 with one playoff win over SDSU in 2015. Unconfirmed reports (on egriz, so take it for what its worth) that he is being replaced by Bobby Hauck.

AlphaGriz, any truth to the Hauck rumor?

[Bison 4 Life]

Holy shit. Does Haslam know any other names?

[Bison Dan]

Stitt 21-14
Bubbles 19-15

Not hard to see which school & fan base demands excellence.

It does take a lot more work to rebuild a team coming off of 19 wins and back to back playoff appearances the two season before taking over.

That's one vote for mediocrity, got it.

Stitt and Bubba are very similar, too mediocre coaches that are out of their league at the FCS level.

Oddly though both have this cult like following at their respective schools.

Mediocre DI (FCS) coaches, but decent DII coaches.

Yes, that's exactly what pointing out the difference in where the two programs were at the time of hiring is. Great comprehension.

Bobs "bitch" Titt is a horrible gimmick coach who doesn't believe in fundamental things like running the football, using a tight end, playing field position, punting, time of possession, and playing actual defense. It was a terrible marriage since Griz fans are much like Bison fans and appreciate good football and defense. Bob is more concerned with looking like a genius than actually winning

That first win was a fluke and was later proven during the beat down in the playoffs.

wasn't really a fluke we were the first team to play them and the gimmick Stitt offense no film and no real way to practice it, second time around with lots of game film it was easy

[NDSUstudent]

Yeah, I was lurking over at egriz and this post pretty much lays out Stitt's issues perfectly...


Stitt's offense is not built to sustain drives or control the ball. It's not built for the RZ. It's built for big plays which D1 defenses can take away. His program is not built for excellence in defense or special teams. It's built for beating up on weak teams and winning about 60% of the games overall. It's not built for winning conference titles or championships. That is not Montana.

Griz actually ran the ball about 20-30 more times than passed this year. You’re correct on the Defense comment tho. Had Stitt emphasized D more and simply ran a no-huddle offense without the need to hurry the snap every play, I think his system might have worked better.

Well the Griz have not won the mighty Big Fluffy in like 6-7 years and since UN_ has had more recent success I thought maybe the teams were on par. ;)

someone else said it best...and for one team this is acceptable and for the other, it is not.

Or as I like to say...

one waits for the worm to turn the other just goes and turns the damn worm.

I don't think it's the number of runs that make them weak, it's how they run the ball. All shotgun. No Tight end of fullbacks. Not physical. Total garbage. You can win a game with a weird offense but you can't win a Championship. Hell you can't even win the Big Fluffy.

And like you said the defense...
