Hauck to Illinois

[billingsgriz]

While specific salary details for Hauck's contract have not been publicly disclosed yet, previous defensive coordinator Aaron Henry had a salary of $700,000.

As a Big 10 DC, he will be getting a substantial raise over our UM $300,000 + --$700 to $800 k sounds about right. I think if he tries to run the 3-3-5 in The Big 10, he will have some success against the Michigan State's, Nebraska's and Rutgers, but his D will get pounded by the Michigan's, Ohio State's, and Indiana's : ( !!!

I thought Bobby would end up a ST Coord in a Power 4 or the NFL--I'm a bit surprised it's as a DC !!!

I knew he wasn’t going to stay away from coaching. I just didn’t know he would make the turn that quickly. Will be interesting to see if he can successfully implement that 335 there.

 

[DayLaw]

Man I really hope he doesn’t do what I think might happen for everyone’s sake. Fine he takes that job but it’s not going to be okay if he handles it a certain way.

 

[bigsky33]

Nope. Offer came after.

Hard to believe that. What is your source?

 

[PDXGrizzly]

Wrong.

What’s wrong? That’s how it looks.

 

[Jordan_20]

If he really meant what he talked about in all his interviews/pressers over the years then he should not take any players with him to Illinois. If he does, its all bs

 

[Mavman]

He got what he wanted and I don't blame him. We all knew he would not leave college football, he just did not want to be the HEAD COACH!!!!! He just got a huuuuge raise and way less pressure.
Good luck coach.

 

[StumptownGriz]

Everything he said about loyalty, agents, kids lack of foresight etc. All hypocritical bullshit. Total cash grab. Time to re address the legacy thread.

Big Ten Football as a D Coordinator is a lot of pressure.

 

[dgogriz]

All the Big 10 offenses will strive to get into 3rd and 20 situations against Illinois now.

 

[TimInBillings]

It has been barely a week since he resigned. He must have been in negotiation with them before that presser.

Silly he RETIRED! Annoying and this changes his legacy in my opinion.

 

[Babyyoda]

I think he's just going to get more experience for Bobby 3.0

 

[DayLaw]

Well I’m sure Robby and maybe Tim goes with.

 

[Griz til I die]

So does Illinois owe us a buyout then? I know he technically retired, but that was for all of 5 days though.

Seems he's not as tired of the college landscape as he made out

 

[indiancoyote]

If BK was aware when he took the job, he needs to fired now.

He just decided to do what a lot of players do and chase the money up a level.

FFS, get over it.

WTF.

 

[5280Griz]

Well for everyone who wanted to get rid of the 3-3-5 it might be more realistic now.
