MISSOULA, Mont. -- Bob Stitt is the new head football coach at Montana.
Montana picked Stitt, who has been the head coach at the Colorado School of Mines the past 15 seasons, to replace Mick Delaney, who is retiring. Montana athletic director Kent Haslam made the announcement Tuesday.
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.
The 50-year-old Stitt will be formally introduced on Friday in Missoula.
His hiring is pending approval from Montana's Board of Regents.
