Instant Reactions - Kennedy Presser

[Jaredkuehn]

Fun nugget that I didn't know is that BK played for Joe Glenn at Northern Colorado!

 

[ElrodGrizzly]

Pardon me for assuming I could see the presser on Gogriz.com. Where do I see it?

They have it up on their Facebook page, too.

I think Vigen will continue to be aggressive in recruiting Montana athletes, though he may have to work a little harder.

 

[Blgs Griz Fan]

I love it. We should play "Jump Around" by House of Pain in between the third and fourth quarters. We could have an honorary person "dot the i" in GRIZ spelled out by the marching band. Oh, at the end of the first quarter, everyone in the stadium (including opponents) should turn and "wave" to the old folks in the Canyon Club.

I bet they wave back. Speaking for myself, I would.

Looking to hire a Special Teams Coach.
My bet is on Robbie

Please no!

Could absolutely see that…..Bobby probably worked that stipulation in before he resigned.

Ok here are my reactions to the presser Ok
Ok
Haslam is a tool OK slimy used car salesmen don't like this guy Ok
We have incredible resources at UM and our goal is to win a national championship. Ok

The president should have fired him immediately after that comment.

OK, Kent would actually be surprised if he ever somehow got a NC. OK

The goal at Montana is to win National Championships (plural) Ok
Kent is surprised that anyone wanted to be head coach at Montana. OK What a leader Ok

Kennedy is a great guy OK, love his juice and have told him welcome and congratulated him on his new job OK

I wish Montana would flush the toilet on Haslem, Sundberg, Gee, Mayes, Martin, all should follow Haucks lead and go somewhere else or retire. These resurfacing turds need to go away. OK

Coach K is definitely gonna win at Montana. This team is in good hands.

Your vitriol for Haslam is unjustified.

 

[Dont Kick 2 Bergen]

Your vitriol for Haslam is unjustified.

Not when you see from the inside how he treats people. He simply not smart enough to have the job he does, By far my least favorite person I ever met in the athletic department when I was there. Just yucky

 

[catgrizfan]

The guy is certainly likeable and charismatic. Who could watch that and not come away impressed? I just hope he is as good at being a HC as he is at talking to the media. I don't understand the shade being thrown at Hauck and in-state recruiting though. People act like he didn't offer the same kids the cats did. What else was he supposed to do? Give 'em a tug?

I am going to be an American and report you for incessant bitching. Less snowflakery. More ALPHA MALE-ery!!!

Kent Haslam has come off as an intelligent, respected long term AD in the few conversations I have had with him.

Yeah, I think that’s pretty cool connection. BK also seems to be very personable, like Glenn.

That’s funny right there. I don’t care who you are.

 

[grizfan1984]

He mentioned the OL coach and hiring a special teams coach but what about a running back coach?

And WR coach and recruiting coordinator?

 

[HookedonGriz]

And WR coach and recruiting coordinator?

WR coach was announced as Eric Price who helped Kennedy with receivers last season

 

[Grizzinator]

For those who went to the presser, what players were there? Any notable absences?

 

[DayLaw]

WR coach was announced as Eric Price who helped Kennedy with receivers last season

That wasn’t announced just what Colter said

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

He just announced Myers as the O line coach too. Finally!

He was in the room
Haha.

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Like most of them from what I could tell.

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

IDK if Bobby Hauck was in the room or not but if he was then I can understand the hesitancy to not wanna publicly say what he's changing. Especially if he's still living with him lol.

I think it’s a classy move. You don’t just immediately call out things you’d do different. And specially not on a good friend. Bobby wasn’t there but his wife was.
