I thought the very same thing. Pretty chickens*** of him to do that (I know others will say that's just business as usual, but loyalty is very important). Says a lot about his character IMO. Baldwin is cut from the same cloth as Hauck.

Don't always believe what you read, there is no real proof that Baldwin interviewed for the job, unless you've seen something I haven't.

HC at Colorado School of Mines.
He is considered by many to be an offensive genius....most notably Dana Holgerson HC at West Virginia. He utilizes the fly sweep concept quite a bit, and in many different ways.
He would be a good Offensive coach for them. I have no idea how he would be as a Head Coach with all it's administrative work (although he's doing it). I also have no idea how good of a recruiter he is (although the academic standard at Colorado School of Mines is very high...similar to our MT Tech...and he is having some success).
He was a finalist when Northern Colorado's head job was open a few years ago.

In my opinion, I don't think he would be a great hire for UM.....but i've been wrong many times before.

Interesting, seems Griz fans think this is the guy. Not sure this is a great hire either. He may be an innovative coach but wins about 2/3 of his games at the D2 level and I don't believe he's ever won the D2 title. Would be an interesting hire, but I don't think its the splash the Griz need....

I think his record is limited by the admission standards of the school and the fact that it is an Engineering school. No diesel mechanic, business, or health degrees.

Seems strange that they would consider this guy as head coaching material at a big time program (as much as it pains me to say it) like UM. Yes they're FCS, but they are more big time DI football than a lot of the FBS programs out there. Playing in front of 27,000 fans or whatever. I doubt this DII team has ever played in front of this many fans in a season TOTAL. Might be in over his head. Plus, as someone else pointed out, I think you have to go for a coach that has dominated at their level.

By the same token, while our experience with hiring a D-II "genius" (Solomonson) didn't turn out very well, UM's previous experience with that worked out extremely well for them...i.e. Joe Glenn.

Does Gregorak stick around as DC if he's not selected?

However, JG had a proven track record of coaching a DII power UNC, and led them to two national titles. I haven't researched this other Mines school much but it doesn't sound like he's been dominating there.

That's a good point.

What a bunch of rumors floating around. Almost makes me wonder if all these other names are a smoke screen while Hauck hashes out which staff stays and goes........then again Pease was in town today, or at least that was the rumor.

Rumor was that Hauck was in Zoo Town yesterday, as well.

I'm still rather surprised that Hauck is seriously being considered as the head coach. The guys is an embarrassment. Many griz fans love the idea. I don't get it.

Baldwin not to OSU, or at least not as HC. Pretty sure he is still shopping around though. My guess is unless he gets a killer offer he will see Adams through one more season. Wisconsin HC Gary Anderson to take over at Oregon State. Didn't see that one coming!

With everything that has gone on at UM regarding the "character" of the players, I don't think that there is a chance in hell that President Engstrom will ever approve Hauck as coach.

I find it hard to believe that BH would be the HC due to the off field issues that happened when he was at UM. But what do I know.

Lots of Griz fans questioning Stitt as the next HC. Didn't Don Read come from a D2 program and have a unique offense?

Will be fun to find out who it is.

It's crazy not to have the new coach on board, unless the coach's team is still playing.

Read was fired at Oregon, then coached Portland State for a few years, which was D-II at that time, before being hired at UM.

That's a good point...makes you wonder if it might be Baldwin after all. The Wilkes kid from CMR mentioned their uncertain coaching situation as one of the reasons why he never really gave serious consideration to UM. If that's the case, UM would have had some extra incentive to beat EWU last Saturday.

It's very strange. I'm really thinking the person they are hiring is still coaching either as a HC or an OC/DC

It's not Baldwin. He thinks he has a shot at FBS from where he's at now. That's probably not going to happen.

It's Bob Stitts, Brent Pease, and Bob Hauck, in that order. They're just waiting on Pease to interview this week.
