You're dreaming with all due respect 5280 if you think a new staff is going to be given five years to succeed--Stitt had three mediocre years and was given the boot, and no Hauck haters, 13-2, # 3 in the country is not mediocre. If this story is true and Coach Kennedy is our new HC, he's not facing a 2018 rebuild and will be expected to be successful ASAP. !!!

Roster is going to be gutted far worse than 2018 or 2015.

Any idea why we aren’t doing a real search for a coach???

I have a sneaking suspicion that’s what happened when Bobby Kennedy was hired.

To keep the staff together and not have a mass exodus of coaches and players

This. I wondered why or how we were getting someone of his caliber to simply be a wide receivers coach, but It's looking likely that he was told he would be next in line for the HC job.

"Bobby Kennedy, who served as Montana’s wide receiver coach last season, is expected to be named the head coach. One source close to athletics said that Kennedy will not have an interim tag."

So this is interesting. Passing the mantle and hopefully keeping at least some, maybe the majority of the staff intact in order to keep recruits on board maybe?

They want to keep the 3-3-5

You consider hiring a guy already on staff a “search”?

Not true--you have an All-American returning @ QB, RB and a freshman All American @ WR.

And we have some studs like Winge returning @ LB on D plus further invalidating your argument is that the transfer portal didn't exist in 2015 or 2018. !!!

Seems more and more like this was clearly a transition plan started last fall.

I’m thinking it prompted Justin Greens exit as well

I just heard that Bobby is going to run for senate

The transfer portal reopened for our entire roster to leave today.

Well shit I did not see that coming. Does anybody know why?

NIL and portal seem to be running good coaches and men out of coaching. Chris Klieman is perfect example.

I’m assuming many of them already knew this was coming.

Unless it was behind the scenes and kept on the dl. I heard the athletic department is shocked.

I don't think they would have waited until now to announce it then, but who knows.

Against Daines? You do realize that Bobby is a far right Repub the same as Daines.

Well new football coach, new president, new??????

That's some strategic thinking, '95, and I think you very well could be right. !!!

Surprised Pease wouldn't get it if they were going to keep it internal. Kennedy is clearly a good WR coach, but he's never been more than a WR coach. It's a big step up.
