Moore fired for this!

Gonzo, you have committed the unpardonable sin of offending those who suffer from flatuphobia.
"The horror! The horror!"

I love Coach Satt. But for the love of App. Someone fire Cobb.

Jerry Moore served as head coach in 379 games during his career. Scott Satterfield has served as head coach in 1. Anybody drawing conclusions about Satterfield's abilities after one game at Montana is a tool.

I will have to agree with your statement. However, facts are facts. This team was beat before we ever got off the bus, we just did not know it. I felt better leaving the Va Tech. game than this one. We were completely un-prepared for what was going to happen. I am not sure I remember an App team being so ill-prepared. Fact is he was severely out-coached in his first game. I am sure there are learning curves for HC's as well. I did apologize to Montana fans after the game for having them spend their money on that performance, it was a complete letdown. SS better put his head in it and move on. If not, a very long season is in store. The team that was on the field sat night will lose 4 socon games.

Lets hope they learned from this and move forward-On to A&T

"I felt better leaving the Va Tech. game than this one."

I felt worse than either of those when I left The Citadel/Wofford/Villanova/S. Illinois games.

Moody, that was a perfect example of serendipity. We must have been typing at the same instant.

Wow, really? You don't think he "put his head in it" before the game? I am sure that Satterfield has been replaying the game in his head non-stop and has been identifying his errors.

A brand new coach was out-coached by an experienced head coach--imagine that.

With all of the change that has happened with our program over the offseason, I'm surprised at the amount of people who apparently expected the team to completely pick up where it left off (or even be better). There were some positives from the game to build upon, though it's human nature to focus on the negative. The guy has coached one game and yet you act as if you have an entire career to judge him on. Not only is that unfair, it's unreasonable.

[App91]

Dismissing your first sentence as it is moronic. I did expect more from SS and the always attack team. We did not attack, heck we barely went up tempo. That said, nowhere did I mention anything about judging a career. I am sure he is up all night wondering what went wrong.

Actually, the worst opening game loss I can remember was at Wyoming (great trip, except for the game) in 2004. We lost 53-7 against a thoroughly mediocre Wyoming team.

Nice, straight to an insult. That's cute.

Everyone expected more, that goes without saying.

Actually I hoped for more but was not so surprised with the lack of offense. I have seen this team scrimmage three times prior to this debacle and the offense has struggled moving the ball. Take away a serious threat that would attract a lot of attention and draw double coverage most of the time and you just made the job harder.

The part that disappointed me was not Scott being outcoached as a HC but the part that he was out coached as the OC. It was the same old thing. With that said I am sure he knows it and will try to make adjustments. The part that worries me is the O and D lines and the QB. The lines are what they are and the QB is a question at this point. We will know nothing for maybe the next 2 games. Let's see what happens. we really have nothing at stake so it sure is not earth shattering. Good year for Scott to find his way and to develop some players.
I did not apologize to any Griz fans as I have way too much pride in our program and the Griz fans would have looked at me like I was nuts. They are knowledgeable fans and have respect for us as we do them. Many of them said that games like that just happen sometimes and that is a fact. last but not least we did not lose the game because of one missing WR. we have won an awful lot of games before he got here and will win many more after he is gone. Please don't pump his fat head up any more than it is. We have VERY capable receivers without him. There is not a game we can't win without him this year that we would have won with him. I'll bet we see a different team in 3 weeks.

Classy, Gonzo. It's interesting that I think the same about the majority of your posts..

Ah yes and you're a real testament to popular opinion, taking shots at a post with 11 rep points. If I'm disagreeing or mocking a post by you, I'm most likely being supported by 90% of the members of this forum...

I just posted my sincere response to your post. Is my honesty something for which I should be ashamed?

LOL

The title of this thread is idiotic to begin with, but if you want to compare Scott to Jerry Moore at least judge Scott's initial year as HC to Jerry Moore's 1st at North Texas rather than after 25 years at ASU.

Hayden Fry was 19-3 the 2 years prior to coach Moore taking over. His initial team was 5-6. The wins came over a 1-11 UTEP team, a 5-6 UT Arlington program which was in the midst of a 11 year non winning season streak that eventually led the the school dropping football 9 years later, a 4-5-2 West Texas State program that also wound up dropping football in 1990, a 4-6-1 New Mexico State team, and a 6-5 Louisiana Tech team. He lost to Oklahoma State (7-4), SMU (5-6), Kansas (3-8), Southern Miss (6-4-1), Memphis 5-6 and ECU (7-3-1).

Maybe Scott should use the Jerry Moore Press Conference Flowchart.

[bcoach]

Just to be clear my comments had nothing to do with a comparison between the two coaches. Jerry Moore was a great coach and I hope that Scott will be a great coach in due time. My comments are about one game only. It is my hope that 20 years down the road we can say that we have had two great coaches in a row.
