The Sicatoka Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 So who did Stitt finally lose favor with? Could it be said that the tables were turned, and .... The fans hit the Stitt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In year 3 with the Griz he gets fired after going 7-4. In year 4 with UND Bubba goes 3-8. He'll be back as will his whole staff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was his make or break year, and they failed to make the playoffs and lost to MSU again. This next season is Bubba's make or break year. The difference in the two year difference between make or break seasons is, again, the difference between the team Stitt took over for and the team Bubba took over for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's adopt that model............ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic the only season UND doesn't play either and they are co-champs of BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the Griz have a football oversight committee, probably a few schmucks plus the big money guy. Info I heard was anything short of 1 play-off win and he was toast. That info seemed to be pretty good. Reason for the committee.......helps when the AD doesn't know squat about football and keeps a pulse on donations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing but my math still shows 7-4 >>> 3-8. Montana fired a coach at 7-4 with a winning percentage of .667 while he was there. ......... different expectations at different schools lead to different decisions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our D forced 3 turnovers and if we had a shred of offense, Studsrud or Zimmer, we lead the game by at least 14. Get it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game was tight for a while which is a complete joke if you look at our first half offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when your entire narrative is that we ONLY consider the score and never consider injuries or anything else, then we have proper grounds to argue that a. most of us fans have low expectations if b. we don't seek a new HC after the season.

Unfortunately, I don't know if UND could've won with the way the defensive backs were playing on 50/50 balls. Part of it is the scheme of course with them isolated down the field, but man, Stitt's vertical offense sure puts pressure on UND's cover 0 defense (in the 2 contests of Bubba vs Stitt that we saw).
