Hey Baby....why you hating on the Chiz? Guy had an opportunity to win a NC don't be a hater.
Because he treated ISU like a toilet. Dropped off a couple of turds (McFarland and Bolt) and left the place stinking.
Hey, sometimes it just a deadline and a word count keeping you from beer money.
CPR has done an excellent job of recruiting for this season and next. He has stacked the cupboard for the next coach.
It amazes me that any recruit and his family come to a school with the expectation that the coach will be there for them for 5 years. I would guess that the cases where that happens must be under 20%.

I'm not against this guy as a potential hire. He'd need to bring some strong minds w/ him and hopefully keep an Ayeni around for recruiting purposes.
In this thread, beginning around page 24, there are several posts about Stitt, with links.

I'm sure you meant to say:
"Rehire him so he can coach for 2 years and Wayne Bolt again???"
Heh.
Get off the field, only thing in bolts coaching knowledge. Not how to, just yell it.
So far, Stitt is my favorite. Not a sexy hire, but he's from the midwest and knows how to win with limited resources. He's creative. And his teams HAVE A GOAL LINE PACKAGE.
When Mike Leach turns to the guy for offensive ideas, and when Stitt has a great rep among coaches at all levels for what appears to be a stellar football mind, and when he's a winner, and when he's from the upper Midwest (Nebraska), and when . . . well, on the surface he's my first choice, too (without knowing anything about him personally).
I guarantee that the coach we end up getting will be a male. Also, I guarantee that he will be over 25 years of age.
Apparently this guy has a cult following. #stitthappens
They created this hashtag for him. I'm not on twitter, but I had to chuckle when I saw that.
that's why my dream would be a big time hire with Rhoads as the DC. Win/win. Then, in 4 years, after we have turned the corner and that guy bolts to go to a USC type, we have Rhoads in the waiting to take over again.

MISSOULA, Montana - New Montana coach Bob Stitt has been called everything from Sasquatch to a mad scientist.
Since West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen used Stitt's version of the fly sweep to score four touchdowns in a 70-33 rout of Clemson in the 2012 Orange Bowl -- and then gave the Division II coach credit in his postgame interview for drawing up the volleyball-like play -- Stitt has become somewhat of an Internet legend, often whispered about but never seen. . . .
"Sometimes the simplest things make a play great," Stitt said.
That's what makes his offense so unique. Stitt isn't trying to reinvent the wheel -- he's only tweaking traditional plays to make them more efficient. When other coaches see his solutions, they're often left wondering why they didn't think of it.
(Texas A&M) wanted to run a tunnel screen against man-to-man press coverage, but hadn't figured out a way to do it. Stitt told Spavital the solution was simple: Don't send the offensive linemen out to block.
"We studied two years of tape and saw how many times an offensive line actually got a block on a screen," Stitt said. "It wasn't very high. A lot of teams did not want to run screens against man [coverage] because there's a defender that's locked on the running back. If you block that guy and leave the offensive line in, it's a two-man deal. It's so simple but effective."
Texas A&M ran the tunnel screen three times for 49 yards and three first downs in its 52-28 victory at South Carolina in the 2014 opener. . . .
