What a short, strange, circuitous route it’s been

I’m as happy as anybody – with the obvious exception of Ty Gregorak – that Gregorak was named defensive coordinator for the Griz, replacing Mike Breske. Gregorak didn’t have the easiest 2010, a year that included a divorce; a strange arrest on charges of theft for which he was later exonerated; the ensuing loss of [...]

The rearrangement at UNLV

I was waiting for the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s take on Bobby Hauck’s redistricting of duties on his UNLV football staff, and here it is. Given that he and former defensive coordinator Kraig Paulson were once roommates at the University of Montana, it could not have been an easy thing to do. Then again, Paulson and [...]

I’d hire him

Montana Tech has two finalists to be the Orediggers’ next football coach. One is Ty Gregorak, who was a motivating, recruiting, blue language barrier-breaking linebackers coach at UM for seven seasons under Bobby Hauck. We all know what happened between Hauck’s leaving for UNLV and the Rebels’ first game this season. Long story short, Gregorak [...]

Strange days in Boulder

Here’s the best story so far about former Griz linebacker coach Ty Gregorak, who is in a bit of trouble after a night out in Boulder, Colo. It’s cringe-worthy and a little hinky: Gregorak is accused of stealing items out of a bouncer’s car, yet as far as I can tell the car wasn’t broken [...]

Best recruiting class ever!

Has any football coach ever got to the podium and said, “Well, sorry folks, but we dropped the ball on this one…”? It won’t happen.

The recruits are adding up… in UNLV

Here’s the latest from the Las Vegas Sun on new UNLV coach Bobby Hauck’s recruiting prowess. He was able to get Kjelby Oiland, a defensive tackle who had long been on his (and Montana’s) radar, to commit to the Rebels over the weekend. It’s a nice pickup for Hauck, and not unexpected (the story also [...]

So I’ve been out for a few days. Anything happen?

Just kidding. It looks like Bobby Hauck is UNLV-bound, which could be a fine opportunity for him. Here’s hoping he finds the success that escaped his predecessors at UM who went onto larger schools: Joe Glenn (fired by Wyoming); and Mick Dennehy (same at Utah State). The Mountain West is a tough conference, but like [...]
