Bad news from Montana

[luckyintheorder]

Imagine a Bizzaro world in which Beau Baldwin brings in OL coach Aaron Best to Oregon State, and EWU hires Bob Stitt as Head Coach.

That might work. The average IQ increase from Montana to Eastern should allow him to actually run his offense.

Na, a green cap clashes severely with the Red!

Probably a good hire for them... Keeps the fan base pacified and has a history of winning at UM. I think he'll find the road tougher to travel as the rest of the BSC has caught up to the Griz in talent. Sure would be helpful if we could address our disadvantage in facilities in the near future...

This is definitely not the same Big Sky when he was here last. Also, Hauck took the reins of a program already in great shape. Montana isn't near the program they were either. He didn't do so well trying to rebuild UNLV so who knows how the rebuilding effort will go at Montana.

Agreed, he is a v good coach. I don't understand why he would step back to FCS. He is now at the TOP of FCS while there is virtually unlimited upside to FBS.
As any school in the Big Sky gets better the entire conference gets better, so this hire is good for us too.

To All, Rams Coach announced earlier this week #50 Samson Ebucam, will be starting on the D-Line. One of the Starters D-Line is hurt, and Samson has been promoted a starting position. Both him and Cooper Kupp are playing their Butts off. Also Aaron Neary is with the Rams on the OL. We saw him with a Very Large RED Beard. Rams play Arizona Cardinals Tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. My DVR is Set Fellows Have a great Sunday to ALL. Vic E. Wallace

Bobby has been wanting to come back to Montana for a while. He got his taste of the FBS, and while he struggled at UNLV (and let's be honest, nobody has been able to "rebuild" UNLV), he realized how special Montana is and how good he had it here. Add also that he has a ton of family in Missoula and throughout Montana, as well as strong friendships across the state too. Obviously returning home wasn't about the money. In his press conference on Friday, you could see him getting emotional at times when speaking about coming back. He truly loves Montana (the state) loves UM and the football program, which is why he decided to come back home.
