Same here, I'm not sure where all the venom started from when he left, but I've never heard it from his former players.
it was a horse shit story that was concocted by some people that wanted to be hurt that Joe took a pay raise and went to Wyoming. I asked one of them from the 2001 team about the rumor that was floating around about him and the team meeting dismissal and he said he didn't know what I was talking about.
Not a one of the guys that I know personally that played for him ever said what some of the fans were tossing around.
Don't that just figure. Just when I started hatin' on the guy.

Seen Joe and his family in Missoula several times since he left and the reception was always like a prodigal son coming home. People were happy to have him at Red's and buy him a beer and talk about what was going on.
I know a few guys that played for him personally and I never heard them say a bad word about the guy so I'll have to assume that the "Joe left us high & dry and just walked out" is a Griz message board state of mind that has been perpetuated for quite some time now.
And it's those message board folks I'm talkin' about. Personally, I could care less. Wasn't hooked into the scene to know how (allegedly) crappy he handled his departure....but it obviously left a bad taste in some people's mouths....
Yeah I get ya, those people are pretty silly and hanging on to shit that never existed in the first place. Good for them.

From all reports, Mike Van Diest is a VERY good coach, has pro/FBS coaching pedigree, and a championship record.
Where the hell did MVD get Pro coaching? Not the best candidate for the job, IMO.
Sorry, Mr. T. I thought I'd seen a reference on eGriz to that. It doesn't jive with his Carroll bio. I retract it. But the main point of my post still stands: MVD is a VERY good coach and deserves a look should he choose to apply.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
A couple of guys on the eGriz Facebook page are espousing Dave Dickenson.

Would you believe them if they said Mike Holmgren was a candidate?
People have been calling for DD on eGriz for years.
Your sarcasm is ill-placed. Given Holmgren's cushy new prez position, he'd hardly take ANY college job, much less the Griz job.

If Joe were seriously considered then I would love to Breske come back with him. That dude had the boys playing some great defense!
Wild rumors abounded when the news of his resignation at NDSU, only to be dashed to pieces with UNC's retaining of Downing and company.,
Joe's no good without his supporting cast, Breske is indeed, available.
I wouldn't mind Doeren coming in & hiring Breske as DC.

UW-Whitewater football coach Lance Leipold D-III champs this year and he won coach of the year.
Don't know much about him Grizza but as 37 said I hope his recruiting skills are good. Everybody is gonna have question marks but you gotta be pretty fair to win the coach of the year.
