Post game presser?

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

Yes, at least one other. This year too. It's fairly well known school. Again, ever heard of USC or watched them play?

Now you’re just being obtuse. One team does not a trend make

 

[GriznMN]

I watch a lot of Bobby’s pressers and listen to colters podcasts and I don’t remember that question being asked.

I went back and watched the last 4. press conferences and didn’t hear the question asked at all. Can you point me to where frank has been badgering Bobby with that question?

What I did hear was Bobby being a dick to frank on pretty much every question regardless of the topic. Obviously Bobby has something against Frank and enjoys being a dick to him.

What do we look like - Google miners for scat fans who don't know how to use Google?

Yes Frank landed on Bobby’s “eternity shitlist” last year for asking the dumbest question in the history of interviews after the Cats game in Bozeman. I don’t blame Bobby at all for not being a fan of Frank. I wouldn’t be either. Needs to step up his game big time, read the room, and not ask insanely dumb ass questions to a guy who you’re already on thin ice with.

One, it’s hilarious that BH lives rent free in your head. He’s obviously doing something right.

B), this is at least the third time Frank has asked the exact same question. After the first game, after Idaho, and now again. It’s funny you assume it must not have happened if you missed it. If BH farts in his office and you are not around to sniff it, did it really happen?

And green, in your mind, how many times should a coach have to answer the same question?

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.

I agree. The question was asked and answered, once. The better thing to do would have been to state that it was answered and that there wasn't more to say about it. A professional in any field is more than capable of picking apart the questions from someone who isn't a professional, but they don't. Hauck shouldn't either.

This board is full of misinformed, out of left field statements by fans who have probably been watching Griz football at least as long a Frank, some of us probably longer than Frank's been alive. And yet we still come up with senseless intepretations for what the team is up to (my favorite: because the OC unimaginative. Second favorite: because player X doesn't care.). If Hauck pounced on anyone of us in a public forum (TV, youtube, whatever) for our assinine assumptions, he'd still look worse than the person who was so misinformed.

We'll never know why this reporter is so fascinated with centers because the Missoulian isn't going to give us an expose on UM centers. Never ever. Hauck could have easily pulled him aside when the camera was off.

 

[nicktaber58]

It was a fair question. Not sure how anyone can watch that video and call it a badgering question. lol.

It’s not a common practice for teams to rotate their centers in and out of the game.

It was a dickish response from Bobby. He’s been dickish in pressers for years. That’s who he is.

The media doesn’t get much from him. Hes respectful to everyone else asking questions for the most part. Frank asks annoying questions. Thats an annoying question after a wild game with literally dozens of talking points. Thats an annoying question.

Its been discussed a ton on the board. Bobby is night and day different every other public appearance he makes. The media thing. I honestly think is a bit of a blind spot for him. He could be better. And has been for rhe most part, to everyone except Frank with the missoulian.

The worst answer to a question in business. "Because that's how we've always done it or because that's how everyone else is doing it." Just because it's not a trend doesn't mean it's not the right approach. Bobby and the offensive coaches might well be starting a trend.

 

[mthoopsfan]

Didn't say you had never seen the rotation? Someone did. I just asked if you had seen USC, a fairly well-known school. I said nothing about a trend. Focus on yourself, and don't make up what I said. Ha.

Plus, after a game, and especially a game like this one, there are lots of good questions to ask. At least, he finally quit asking if Bobby had tried to get the 37 jersey for Robbie. Ha.

I don't care much about any of this and don't have an answer to that question, except to say Don't Ask Me That Again. Ha. I'm fine with Bobby and the media and pretty much fine with a head coach doing what he wants to do with the media. And, I'm just having fun with some of our posters. I'm actually fine with their views on this subject too. Over the years, I have asked Bobby a few semi-tough questions at QB Club. I asked them carefully and innocuously. I've had people say later that they've flinched when they heard my question. Bobby has never jumped me for a question, but in past years he has slung some shit back.

I don't like head coaches who don't go onto the field when their top players seem to be hurt badly either. But I don't complain about that on the internet.

That's how the Cat AD and head coach answer some questions. But half the time, they are wrong about whether they have ever done it the way they say they have to do it. Trump has made lying so main stream that even AD's and head coaches do it. Did you ever answer on whether you know Bruce?

 

[kyle_sample]

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."

But they never actually employed it. USC stuck with O’Connor at center until he was injured last week against Illinois

Show your evidence that they never used it. My quick googles indicated they used it. Show your research.

"Current situation

• Starters: Kilian O'Connor was named the starting center, but J'Onre Reed, a transfer from Syracuse, has already been playing significant snaps and replaced him in at least one game."

From Gemini AI: "Yes, based on the depth chart and reports, USC football has been using a rotation or at least two centers this season.

• Kilian O'Connor was named the starting center.
  
  
• J'Onre Reed is listed as the backup on the official depth chart and the coaching staff indicated he would still "factor into the rotation" and get some playing time."

I did answer in the other thread where I asked the question and I said I don't know him.

 

[GriznMN]

I remember back in Fall camp that Frank asked KAY a really disrespectful question and I was surprised that I didn't hear more of an uproar from Griz fans. I thought, at the time, that Missoula had reached the same level of journalism as the Seattle Times and that that kind of disrespectful behavior was business as usual in Missoula.

What was the question?

 

[westsider]

When the Missoula media covers the Scats equal to the hometown Griz, why should Bobby Hauck have a good attitude toward the media, regardless of the content of the question? Good luck finding U of Montana sports info in any media form in Bozeman. I will take a quality football coach with a sour attitude toward the media any day.
