Bobby's done

He will hang on until his contract is up but it won't be renewed. If he beats the cats next year he may hang on but there is almost no chance of that happening. Schmidt and Colter's criticisms are correct. The Bobby era is coming to an end.

There's really no right answer on this.
Personally, barring nothing extremely bad happening, or the GRIZ suddenly becoming a conference cellar dweller, Hauck goes out on his terms.

Unfortunately, I know many GRIZ fans who don't like him. Many feel, the GRIZ should move on from him. They want championship pedigree coach from the Dakota States or even Annese from Ferris State.

Personally, Coach Hauck's been cordial, welcoming and nice to me. I even like his smart ass side.

Either way, I'll support GRIZ Football as much as I can.

He loves Griz football, zero doubt about that. It's just such a different world than Hauck 1.0 and I don't know if he totally gets it. Maybe he does, but here we run into the lack of transparency. Nobody really knows what the program is thinking, what their operating principles are, why they run a gimmick defense that nobody else runs. He never explains himself. So when people start feeling unrest that adds to the frustration. I don't think they will non-renew him unless the wheels really come off next year but how can griz nation be convinced the 2.0 version will get you where you want to go?
 
i have never cared much for hauck, in part due to his d-bag interactions with the press. there's no way he's not getting renewed and will probably stay as long as he wants. as greenie noted, he's got a buddy-buddy relationship with many of the donors who hold sway with the athletic department. they would en masse protest if they thought he might get fired, and fund-raising would suffer a lot.

There was almost a decade between his two stints. A decade for new Griz alums to come along and piece together what happened from 2009-2012 (13 years ago, or 9 full graduating classes). A ton (myself included) did not want him back because of all the baggage we heard from the first stint.

I was very happy with 2021 and 2023, but there’s always been a reticent side about what he brings. He’s definitely not as much as an ass in interviews (going back and reading interviews from 2008 and the guy’s a prick, it seems FBS really humbled him). My only real negative thoughts towards the guy are either about things before I came along or failing to beat the Cats. And man, when the entire Cats stadium just belts out “fuck you, Bobby” chants, idk what that says potential recruits (and bigger picture, prospective students).

I don’t think I have a point to this, just putting pen to paper.
 
I don’t see renewal after an 8-4 season with a loss to the Cats.
And shouldn’t be. He will have had ample time ( more than anyone else would have had ) to get the program to the top of BSC let alone FCS. One BSC title compared to the neighbors despite them having two different staffs in that timeframe is not delivering given the tools he has with facilities, NIL, boosters.
