BS, I have never thought he was a good coach and he proved it at UM. If he would have got the HC position I would have taken a hiatus as a fan while he ran it into the ground. I am incredibly gald hes gone and we can improve instead of stay semi ****** on defense. I really hope you guys like him he is a notch up from what you have had.

Re: Anyone better than Gregorak?
It's funny to hear people talk about the defense at MSU like it has been horrible for decades. MSU is recognized as consistently fielding a damn good defense. The last 2 years have been an anomaly. If TG will just help the D get the swagger, confidence, and aggression back, we will be just fine.

Re: Anyone better than Gregorak?
When (if) UM switched from Gregorak to Semore last year there was no distinct difference in the production. In the five games Semore supposedly coordinated three of them were either started by a backup quarterback (NDSU and SDSU) or the majority of the game was played by backup QBs (EWU). UM's best defensive effort of the season came under Gregorak against Case Cookus and NAU. The second best was against SDSU in the playoffs, but the Jackrabbits were using a backup QB that day. Semore's best effort was against ISU, but the Bengals were down last year and even MSU's defense held the Bengals in check. The playoff effort against NDSU looks better than the regular season, but this game had a backup QB for NDSU, not No. 2 NFL draft pick Carson Wentz. NDSU's defense also shut down UM in the playoff game (they scored two TDs on an INT returns and had a KO return for TD) and therefore the Bison didn't need to keep the foot on the gas on offense.

There are several high school coaches that are better than "The cheerleader" is at anything football.
My guess is you will agree in 2-3 years, I will let his average abilities prove it on the field.

Past performance shows otherwise. I believe the Cats need a good 'cheerleader' more than X's and O's guy. Marshall really did have some good X's and O's that simply couldn't be implemented effectively here because there was zero fire in the team. Make it simple and let 'em play fast. All the scheme's in the world don't mean jack if you can't tackle, take the right angle, or fill the right hole. When it was simplified, they'd played relatively well (reference Cal Poly game where you could see responsibilities were simple). In college football where practice time is limited, you have to pick your poison on what you work on more. Rock solid fundamentals or exotic blitz, stunt, and coverage packages.
I know you won't budge from your 'Gregorak is terrible' mantra. Just a good thing you don't make personnel decisions, even though we all know you'd do it better than anyone else.

Re: Anyone better than Gregorak?
I don't know about the scheme that he ran at UM. I'm just learning about the the scheme that he is planning on running at MSU.
But in my opinion, Culture is more important than scheme. If he is improving the culture (and the little bit that I saw at Spring Ball showed me that he is) then I am more than happy with where we are at today.

Re: Anyone better than Gregorak?
Some Griz fans have a personality conflict with him, but not only is Gregorak a very good coach with a proven track record, but he's now teamed up with Choate, Ioane and Alexander. Three proven, experienced coaches on that side of the ball that creates a coaching juggernaut. MSU just needs to get the players in to make it happen and it looks like they're making a lot of progress in that regard.
