I don't know what position coach, but thats a very BIG jump

He seemed to have a great recruiting class last year. I wonder what his departure will mean to them or if all will stay regardless?
 
A lot of former Frontier Conference coaches and administrators doing really well! The Nebraska AD is the only former Big Sky I can think of right now who has gone up the food chain. Are there others?
 
Hmmm...Kyle Samson might get a shot? Or leaving with Morrell? I think we’ll see the Frontier having some shifts and opportunities. U of Great Falls gearing up for football program soon?

The Big Human is the Baron of the Palouse.
 
I know Cats and Griz fans have the on-going debate of "who won the state" in recruiting every year. Its not even a debate who owned the state of Montana for the NAIA schools when Morrell was at the helm. MT Tech reeled in fringe-FCS kids year after year. Not saying it ever hurt UM or MSU (it didn't) but Chuck scooped up great talent every year in bunches.

Samson was named the Interim HC.

The University of Providence (formerly UGF) has said they've talked about starting a football program, but nothing in the works yet. However, they hired Tony Arntson last year as the head track and field coach so... 🤷‍♂️

The Target parking lot will make for a GREAT tailgating scene.

And if you run out of beer or brats, Albertsons is right next door! :thumb:

This is very true. First of all, what MT kid (not going FCS) doesn't want to spend college in butte america? Great engineering program, cheap tuition, and a lot of scholarship money, play a role, but Morrell killed it. I know a few coaches around the state at that level that got frustrated because they could give everyone a tuition scholarship.

I think Kyle will keep the HC tag, and Meyer told me he has been offered the DC spot. They are going to continue to roll in my opinion. Congrats to Morrell.

There ya go! Coaching shifts! U of Providence starting football brings ideas of Coach Jack Johnson coming out of retirement, Coach Mark Samson switching from GFH, Coach Tony Arnston, already there, in the mix! Imagine all those guys putting it together! Just off season dreaming.

He is well deserving of it if you’ve got the chance to meet him. I had an opportunity to listen to him speak in Wyoming a few years back. Knows his shit.
