MISSOULA — Bob Stitt is the new head football coach at Montana.

Stitt compiled an overall record of 108-62 at the Colorado School of Mines. His team finished the 2014 season with a 10-2 record and qualified for the NCAA Division II playoffs, where the Orediggers lost in the first round.
Montana is an FCS school.
