Oxbow6 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Bubba's winning percentage isn't close to .667 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 20, 2017 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

He'll be back as will his whole staff. Expand Stitt's ass has been on the line since losing to a terrible MSU team last year. 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

Let's adopt that model............ 3 Quote

Ironic the only season UND doesn't play either and they are co-champs of BS. 1 Quote

Expand 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

Expand 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. Get it? 1 Quote

Expand I agree Gundy, UND would've been in the game with better quarterback play. 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).
