Hauck to UCLA as coordinator?

Post by crazycat » Wed Dec 19, 2007 2:13 pm

I was told by someone that anyone would consider a reliable source that Hauck may be off to UCLA if Neuheisal gets the job. In fact this person thinks that Neuheisal has assembled a proposed staff that includes Hauck as the D-Coord. or Spcl Teams coach.

As we all know Hauck puts in most of his time with special teams, but he has assembled some great defenses at UM. I'd think that the pay would go up for Neuheisal's staff compared to what it was last year listed below.
Last year, the Bruins' coordinators made about $300,000, according to my source, while their other assistants averaged about $150,000. And almost all of them worked on year-to-year contracts.
This move would make sense since Hauck isn't apt to land a job after next season based on the players he has coming back and the general legal issues his players had, the legal troubles his players had when he recruited them and then their legal troubles after they got to UM.

Neuheisal is a bona fide offensive mind and is a great fit in the college arena. If DC at $350,000 it's a slam dunk, if it's the ST coach at $175,000 then it's probably just 50-50.

Non-issue ... I understand that Petrino has denied being interested in the UCLA job, so that means he is interviewing for it as we speak. :wink:

I doubt Hauck will end up at UCLA. But better there than on a tractor in the middle of nowhere.

If that segue is in play, I guess it should be noted that it would make sense for Kramer to accept that position as well, were he in a position to have it offered to him.

Beyond that ... crazycat's post seems to be spot-on in terms of the thought process for Hauck. It's undeniable that those kinds of player scandals can hurt a coach's chances of getting a prestigious head coaching job someplace ... or even a job at a place like Idaho.

That segue was in play in the first post.....and that's fine.

It makes no sense to move from Missoula if you're making $120,000 to L.A. to make $150,000.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that he would go to UCLA to be a position coach (which makes about $150K), so I doubt you would receive any disagreement with that point. He may, however, be tempted to go if he was offered one of the $300K positions.

Hell, even I wouldn't move to L.A. for a $150K job.

Isn't the Bay Area worse than L.A. in terms of COL?

It depends on the part of town, but overall the Bay Area is probably a bit more expensive. I just never really wanted to live in L.A. I like SF a lot better ... although LA is a great place to play for a few days.

The Slickster is wowing their AD as we speak as he was apparently granted a 2nd interview.

I've heard he's supposedly pushing the scenario (albeit very unlikely) of Norm Chow at OC (he's apparently not happy in the NFL) and maintaining Dwayne Walker as DC.

Those are the rumors at this time.

As a rabid UCLA fan, the scenario of Chow at OC and Walker staying at DC is ideal. I personally would love to see Steve Mariucci as a head coach. I think he has a very similar personality to Pete Carroll and would thus thrive in the college ranks.

I heard from those in coaching circles that if Hauck goes Brett Pease is the next Griz coach.


The devil made me do it the first time... the second time I done it on my own.

I'm not certain I want Brent Pease as my HC, but I'd love to have him back as the O-Coordinator. I found this on the Boise State site:
Under Pease’s tutelage as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Grizzly quarterback Brian Ah Yat threw a Big Sky record 42 touchdown passes in 1996.
Holy schmidt!! 42 TD passes. I knew Ah Yat had a terrific year in 96, but that's a staggering number.

Pease would be a great HC. Not as good as MVD IMO but definitely a good coach.

Don't worry though GIW, Bobby is not going to get offered the DC for Neuhiesal. The db's were torched when he coached them at UW under Neuhiesal and Ricky knows that.

It's getting more interesting. I just learned that my contact's godson is being recruited by both Colorado and UCLA and he revealed that Neuheisel is essentially a "smokescreen" for none other than Dan Hawkins at CU.

UCLA coaches aren't paid much when you consider where they live and apparently after this round of coaching hirings, UCLA is supposedly going to be 'competitive" in terms of the pay scale.

Hawkins to UCLA could be interesting and though my source has always been reliable, it makes me wonder because his son's the starting QB at CU still.

Contact's godson? Now that's a new one. I'm thinking grandson, nephew, sister in law's sister's husband's nephew, but never godson. I like it though, let's go with it. OK, so where does your contact's godson play?

We keep hearing all the rumors about Haucks possible leaving but I've never heard one iotta from Hauck himself about kickin' those swinging doors open. We've never heard O'Day give anyone permission to talk to him. And I haven't heard from my second cousins moms (my first cousin) hairstylist who talkes to Bobby on a daily basis.

What if...Bobby just wants to be the Griz coach next year?

Why wouuld Bobby want to be the Griz coach next year when he has publicized his goal of moving up? The only reason I can think of is simply so he's not unemployed

When did he publicize his goal to move up and what was said? And who's to say he hasn't changed his mind since then?
