Part 4 of 5 - San Jose State Football behind-the-scenes Doc.

Does anyone have some Deonce Whitaker highlights on tape that they can put on You Tube. I would love to see his leagacy survive. By the way, Travmeister through out the stats, bottom line was Fritz Hill was terrible. He sounds like an idiot when he is trying to motivate the team. He says " We cal the right play" YEA RIGHT! " Your just not executing" Great way to pump up your guys. It's amazing he was a Doctor.

charmyer, you're basically defending what Travmeister said; all he said was Fitz could recruit (AND HE COULD, '06 TEAM was full of Fitz's players)... besides that, Trav ripped Fitz just like you and Fymious.

I agree Baldwin was a great coach and offensive coordinator. Fitz Hill's play calling was terrible. He also did not play Deonce Whitaker enough. Think of the talent he had;Whitaker, rasheid Davis, edel sheppard, kendrick Straling, Jamar Julien. Man they had a team. It is a shame the 2000 team didnt get into a bowl game. I loved that team. I was at the game when they beat TCU with tomlinson on national TV. I miss seeing Whitaker play. He was the shit!!!!!

[Fymious]

I wish we had the 2000 offense with the 2008 defense. But perhaps we can get back to the 2006 form with the help of Terry Malley.

[Fymious]

I'm a spartan fan too. But you shatter all expectations when you fire the coach after a winning season. Sure Baldwin should've waited until the end of the season to settle his contract; but Bell should've just paid the man (Baldwin) he's worth it!

Fitz Hill was the WORST coach in SJS in the past 50 years...

[Fymious]

Fitz was a hell of a recuiter though the 2006 New Mexico Bowl Champoins roster consisted of Hill's players. Hill couldn't manage a game to save his life though.

How do you know that? Where you on the "inside"? Or did you just watch the games? He had a roster that didn't have a lot of talent...but he was a hell of a motivator, and if you actually watch all 5 parts of this mini-doc, you'll see that.

[hereandthere42]

Sadly,it looks like I was right about Hill...he recruited well,but NOT students.

Tomey's last two classes have so small due to loss of scholarships because Hill's players dropped out at such a high rate...Hill hurt SJS much more then helping it.

[Fymious]

I knew some of the players from Fitz Hill's team. I even got to meet Fitz hill himself.

It was a VERY difficult season. This mini-doc that I shot and edited was our first win of the season, and Hill's first win as a head coach, so it's a silver lining in an otherwise dismal season. The next week,we went to Hawaii, and Carlson was watching this video, alone, right before the team bus took everyone to the stadium. I remember thinking (I hope he doesn't get overconfident.)I don't think it was the video, but he had a terrible game and we got crushed.

But the Spartans are back now!
