Hauck will coach at UM as long as he wants to, could it be 10 years?

I hope so. The man has been a strong leader for years. I am so unimpressed with the folks on here who suggest he should: not have his contract extended, get fired, leave town. I guess they have not taken the time to learn about the Coach. He is kind, respectful, quick witted, and knows much more about football than most. We will never find a better coach. We are one of the best FCS programs in the US. He has helped keep us at that level. We are like Texas or LSU in the big leagues. We get close, have won a couple championships, and have huge expectations. We did well this year. I am so sorry we didn't go further, but maybe we can next year!

Good post. Most knowledgeable fans think like you.
 
If course you all want to never be relevant again as long as Hauck is here.

He will never win a NC and he's proven it. If 30 more FCS teams moved up, DII Wisconsin White Water would move up from DIII and win 5 straight.

Enjoy losers

You could be right but maybe not. John Steigelmeier coached at South Dakota State for 26 years and won the championship his last year. He is now highly regarded in Brookings. Most fans of that program are glad they didn't lose patience. Not saying Hauck is anywhere near as good of a program builder or Coach as stig, just making a point.

Agreed. Homework assignment to the naysayers, etc: Watch some of the Doctor Pepper commercials that feature irrational fans ... you could have a career/side job there.

Thinking about a supportive post along these lines, but it needs some research (numbers) and I have not found the time yet.

We (well, most of us) definitely have huge expectations.

I don’t want Bobby gone, I just wish Bobby was a bit more flexible when it comes to changing strategies that don’t appear to work well against top tier competition.

Like what? What hasn’t worked against Dakota and MV schools in say last 3 seasons?

Lack of size in the trenches hasn’t worked against the top Dakota/MV schools in the last 3 seasons. This season against not the best MVFC competition we were able to overcome the size disadvantage but haven’t been able to overcome it against championship quality teams MVFC or otherwise.

Wrong. UM has beaten SDSU and NDSU in past 25 months and other good MV teams as well. It has worked out fine.

Beaten the worst SDSU and NDSU teams at their respective programs in a generation. Neither of those teams we beat were championship quality.

This. SDSU - a shell of the team that began the season. The UND win? Cool - they turned out to be frauds. NDSU? The worst I have seen since they joined the FCS...by a mile. Not exactly something to beat one's chest over.

This year's NDSU team was worse than the 2023 version. The 2023 version beat the Cats in Bozeman, something we haven't done in the last 15 years.

The 2023 NDSU team went further in the playoffs but their 2025 team was better by virtually every other measure. I agree with Cat/Griz fan in that 2023 was the worst team I have seen from NDSU since 2009.
