Post game presser?

Personally, I don't get Frank's question on the center either. Players get rotated and subbed in and out all the time, except for maybe the QB. The Griz under Hauck have rotated and platooned lots of players and positions. Do you the Griz not ever sub at the other OL positions? I don't know, because I don't focus on the OL. I don't know rotating of the centers either. Could it be that the two are relatively even and both deserving to play, or that the Griz are trying to develop depth in an important position? Just asking. Has Frank asked this question previously, or not. It seemed like it had been asked before.

"While rare, rotating centers is not unique in college football, and it does happen. It is far less common than rotating other positions, especially on defense, where multiple players are often substituted to keep fresh legs on the field. The decision to rotate a center typically depends on a team's depth and the specific circumstances of a game.

Situations where teams may rotate centers
  • Managing depth: If a team has two talented and experienced centers, they may use a rotation to ensure both players get game action and stay sharp.
  • Specific matchups: A coach might rotate centers based on the opponent's defensive line. For example, one center may be a stronger pass-blocker, while another is better suited for a run-heavy scheme.
  • Injury or fatigue: A rotation can be used to give the starting center a breather and prevent fatigue, especially during long, grueling drives.
  • Youth development: Some teams may use a rotation to gain experience for an underclassman with a lot of potential.
  • Special packages: In some offenses, a different center might be used for specific short-yardage or goal-line packages.
For example, in August 2025, USC's coaching staff discussed the prospect of rotating centers depending on matchups and other factors. This shows that while not common, the strategy is still being considered and deployed by top-tier college programs."

Bobby HATES frank. Chewed his ass at then end of that interview when frank asked why he keeps rotating centers. It’s a legit question. I’m not sure why Bobby got so pissed.
If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. He makes the big bucks to not only coach the games, but also stand there and take questions from the media. Frank asked a legitimate question whether Bobby liked It or not. I think his response was immature and petty. Haslam needs to tell him to knock it off but he won't.

Bobby Hauck represents the face of the Grizzlies during these interviews and press conferences. His reaction to Frank’s question is a terrible look for the University of Montana. How hard would it have been to say something like “we have two good centers that we can rotate to keep fresh like we do other positions on the offensive line”?
Too bad the interview had to end that way after a great win to celebrate.

Fair point. But also, hes not wrong. Frank has asked about it several times. Beyond that, they rotated other linemen yesterday as well! Isn't it odd frank only asked about the center? Bobby literally rolls at *almost* every other position. If he keeps badgering bobby about *1* single position, he should expect that type of response.
 
Bobby gonna Bobby
That’s the problem. It’s been tolerated. It isn’t tough to be a nice person. Nor is it difficult to consider you are the face of U of M. Haslam and the Pres need to nut up and do what should have been done long ago. Sit BH down and have a serious conversation about image. Hauck may be a a great football coach on the field, but he is terrible with the press. A big baby quite frankly.

No, he shouldn’t and asking a question isn’t badgering. His response was over the top. If anything it makes Frank look like a victimized reporter. Bad look for Hauck.
