I guess you can only lose to Montana State, Eastern and Weber so much before you get the axe.

I think it was more missing the playoffs and losing to a down MSU team two years in a row, the exact same way each time.

Hope we don't lose any of his players/recruits. No arguing that he brought in a ton of talent (although I'm sure Alpha will), but yeah, two years with no playoffs and consecutive losses to the cats is a one way ticket out of town.

There are rumors that Hauck might be coming back. I wouldn't be opposed to the idea, if he learned how to win NC games.

And the Big Sky is as talented as ever too..............I wont even go into this discussion with people like you but I will ask you one question:

Who is going to replace Strahm next season?

Nobody close to his talent
Nobody close to his fire
Nobody as nasty
Nobody to bring the Strahmination

I could do this for at least 9 other positions but with all this talent falling from the trees I am sure you have answers for that so stick to the MLB question and spare me the Vika hype......(lack of) we saw what happened when he got his chance.

Strahm did play great down the stretch this season: his play in the 3 November games was top notch. The Griz have always had a revolving door of good players in the front-7, though. Hopefully that will continue.

Here's a great blog post about the firing, especially this quote:
Today Grizzly football was defined by those who were timid and weak.

VERY well put! :clap:

The "supporter" who allegedly got Stitt fired (if that's truly the case) is a complete and utter douche. :nod:

We could land nothing but 4 and 5 star recruits and the self-proclaimed guru would find something to bitch about with our talent level. And then pick 4 MVFC teams to make the semis. :coffee:

He was one of the 2-3 finalists for the JMU job Jan 15’...

“....JMU also considered the possibility of hiring former Maryland coach Randy Edsall, Charleston Southern coach Jamey Chadwell, former Montana and UNLV coach Bobby Hauck, Chattanooga offensive coordinator Jeff Durden, a former JMU and VMI offensive coordinator, and former Virginia Tech assistant Bryan Stinespring, a JMU graduate....”

Oh in your world they are all 4 and 5 stars. There in lies the problem.

There isnt one team in the BSC other than SUU that would win more than 4 games in the MVFC. Its ok, just deal with facts.

I don't know, Weber might be able to.

They'll get their chance to beat one of them this weekend.

And they wont but hey I actually watch the MVFC teams play and its not hard to admit that Southern Illinois would probably win the BSC title.

Did he recruit Montana's only first teamer?

Tackle David Reese Senior Montana



Or all of the Montana 2nd teamers?

End Tucker Schye Senior Montana
Outside Linebacker Josh Buss Junior Montana
Inside Linebacker James Banks Senior Montana
Special Teams Dante Olson Sophomore Montana

I am sure he recruited Montana's third team kicker

Kicker Brandon Purdy Sophomore Montana

Not sure about the other 3rd teamers.
Inside Linebacker Connor Strahm Senior Montana
Cornerback Ryan McKinley Senior Montana
