I would tell you but AUcat seems a bit miffed so I wont.Rich K wrote:We won't find out who the "power behind the throne" is until the next major contribution to dUMb athletics is announced.
I highly doubt he'd go back to um in a lateral move. Especially now that they turned him down, again, for the head coaching job.Mr Lisle wrote:What a statement it would be if he hired TG. I wouldn't bet against Gregorak going back.
Colter addressed this on T&T on Tuesday or Monday, can't remember which day. He says there is no chance TG will go back to the Griz. He thinks because of his wife's job and status in Bozeman, the fact that Ty has no ties to UM other than working there (not a grad), that it would just be a lateral move, and that he took the job with the Cats to pretty much spite UM.blueandgoldblitz wrote:I have a question for people in the know and I apologize if it's already been asked and answered.

If Choate is successful over the next 3 years and with his FBS connections, I would expect him to move up to the FBS level. I think Ty knows they will be successful, so he will likely hang in there and be ready to take over the Bobcat program when that time comes.CelticCat wrote:Colter addressed this on T&T on Tuesday or Monday, can't remember which day.

But anything can happen.
My personally thought is TG will end up like McEndoo and go FBS when the time is right.CelticCat wrote:Colter addressed this on T&T on Tuesday or Monday, can't remember which day.

I believe you were misinformed. I heard they needed time to break all of the printing presses at the campus newspaper.GoCats18 wrote:Just heard the real reason why there is a hold up in announcing Hauck as the head coach. Sounds like the paper work is all done and ready to go. I guess the Missoula Police Department needs to hire 30 more police officers so they have enough staff to serve, protect and arrest Griz football players.
I love this hire for MSU, the only thing better for us would have been keeping Stitt around another 5 years. Hope Bobby can figure out what to do with a couple dozen receivers on his roster.cat_stache_fever wrote:IMHO, this move is a desperate one. I'm sure most Griz fans are feeling all warm and fuzzy today, and they should be; it's a fun story...
It's gonna end one of two ways: the Griz finish 11-1/10-2 each of the next 2 seasons, win the BSC and make deep playoff runs, Bobby leaves to coach somewhere like UTEP or San Jose State(this scenario is HIGHLY unlikely); the Griz finish 5-6 the next two seasons with "Stitt's guys." Everyone on egriz agrees this is a bad hire, Haslam(if he still has a job, panics) fires Hauck and we're right back to square one.(my money is on this scenario)
The landscape of the BSC is much different than the one Bobby left behind. He isn't inheriting a team fresh a chipper appearance, but rather a team that finished 7th(?) in a conference that's adding another member.
Good luck Bobby...you'll need it.
It seems like the majority were very against it, a few would've been ok with it, and maybe one or two thought he could get us a championship. So I question your memory of the event.Grizaddict wrote:I think you guys should resurrect that thread from a few years ago when some rumors surfaced that Hauck was coming after the Cats open position.

Funny how that has all suddenly changed.
You should do that ,I don't recall it like that at all but maybe ? Also how many Catgrizz games has Ty won andGrizaddict wrote:I think you guys should resurrect that thread from a few years ago when some rumors surfaced that Hauck was coming after the Cats open position.

Lots of jersey chasers there. One kid that my son knew couldn't believe the attention he would get because he was a "griz"bobcat99 wrote:It seems like the majority were very against it, a few would've been ok with it, and maybe one or two thought he could get us a championship.

Personally, I would've been fine with it. I think Hauck is a good coach. He's not a great, or special coach. He'll run a fundamental team that always plays hard. Him and Choate are pretty similar, minus some obvious personality issues.
I think Hauck's off field stuff is overstated. Didn't have any issues at UNLV, everybody at SDSU loved him. I think the issues are more of a systemic nature due to the football worship in Missoula. Bobby greatly mishandled the press, but I don't think he encouraged his players to do what they want. He didn't instill a rape culture. I think that has more to do with the town/fans tbh. Griz players were worshipped. It happens on the majority of good teams campus's. Look at Notre Dame. Alabama. Miami. Florida. Florida State. Penn State. The list could go on, and on, and on. Power corrupts.
Once again, you are trolling. Making stuff up again. Maybe a handful of Cats would have liked a Hauck hire, but no where near a majority. Quite frankly, I remember a lot people saying NO WAY IN HELL!!!! Have fun with that train wreck.Grizaddict wrote:I think you guys should resurrect that thread from a few years ago when some rumors surfaced that Hauck was coming after the Cats open position.

I tend to agree with you; they're no longer the mighty, untouchable Montana grizzlies. They are simply another team in the top half or top third of the big sky. EWU, MSU, Weber, Idaho, nobody's scared to go in there and play any more. They have great facilities, but a struggling university overall. I think hauck will have some success, for sure, but he isn't going 47-6 against the league again. 8 wins is success in this league right now, maybe 6 conference wins. Is that enough for their daddy boosters over there? Who knows...bobcat99 wrote:This is probably an obvious statement, but Bobby won't have the success he had when he was first here. He'll still be a good coach.
We'll see how Griz fans react if he loses a few each year.
I couldn't agree with you more on all the culture stuff. Missoula worshipped their team and its players and it got out of handbobcat99 wrote:It seems like the majority were very against it, a few would've been ok with it, and maybe one or two thought he could get us a championship.
