Coach Stitt’s Back—and He’s Wasting No Time

When Coach Bob Stitt took the job at Colorado School of Mines (again), he knew exactly what he wanted to work on first: the recruiting process.

On the AFCA’s Inside the Headset podcast, Stitt talked through his return to college football, his belief in fit over flash, and why Scorability was the first tool he added to his staff’s workflow.

Same Mission. Sharper Tools

Stitt has built programs at every level—from DII to the Power 4—by sticking to one belief: you win with the right people, not just the most athletic ones. That’s how he took a last-place Mines team in 2000 and turned them into an undefeated Top 5 program in just five seasons.

Now he’s back, and this time he’s got data on his side.

Scorability’s Role in His Process

“The first thing I did was subscribe to Scorability and work it into our process!” said Coach Stitt.

Here’s what he meant by that:

• Smarter Shortlists
  His staff filters by GPA, verified measurables, and player interest—so they’re only spending time on the right athletes from the start.
• Fit Over Flash
  Stitt uses Scorability’s mentality assessment to learn how players think, not just how they move. It’s not just about talent—it’s about matching the DNA of past championship rosters.
• Coach Insight, Baked In
  He leans on trusted evaluations from high school coaches—because he knows what those coaches see matters.
• No Roster Gaps
  At a place like Mines, missing on a player costs more than just a roster spot. With Scorability, he avoids costly mismatches and protects the culture he’s building. Read the Colorado School of Mines Customer Spotlight to learn more.

The Bottom Line

Stitt isn’t just going through the motions when he recruits. He’s building a predictable, repeatable process that recruits the right athletes, faster. And he’s doing it with Scorability at the center.
