Sounds like Kent took my advice. I posted a few weeks ago, he needed to reach out to Dave no matter how much of a long shot it was, and eventually, at least get DD involved in the process.
Here's DD's thoughts on him, and the job
"It's that I didn't have a thought process going on and think about that, but I believe when you do sign something, you should honor it. I really do (He's in midst of three-year deal with the Stamps). I thought about it last year before signing that, and I'm not necessarily going to change my mind all the time."
"Some of them did, and some other really good people, too. I hadn't talked to Mike Tilleman (from Havre) in a long, long time. And I appreciated the call from him. I talked to the AD (Kent Haslam) and a few other people. You know, I thought about it. I did. But I don't want to be this guy who is distracting. I've always felt like whoever they bring in, I'm going to give him my full support. I want people to know I still love the school and support them fully, but I'm just in a different stage of my life. I've got a young family and I'm comfortable where I'm at. I do think that Montana is deep down in all of us who are from there. You get a yearning to come home, but you've got to understand that life has moved on. My wife's Canadian and my kids are pretty locked in to what they do here. As the years go by it gets tougher to get up and move the whole thing back to where you grew up and had that great success."
DD on Hauck
A: In my opinion I think you want to get somebody who is not as inclined to move. I think it's important to still have some of the roots of your program, and I think there are some good candidates out there who do have good ties to the program. I'm going to say right now that I know Bobby Hauck is unemployed.
Q: Yes, I know.
A: "He was probably the best coach that university's had, so I'd be disappointed if the call wasn't made to Bobby. Plus, Tim Hauck's on his staff, and Timm Rosenbach's on his staff. That's some great football people. Now I don't know if Bobby's interested. I know when Bobby left there were some people who were like, we're going in a new direction. Well, I think Bobby had them going in the right direction. I love the Hauck family. I think they're awesome. I also know that Brent Pease has been looking, and Kraig Paulson's been looking. There's some good people right there."
"No scoop. Better to be honest. I am going to call Kent Haslam and hopefully give my opinion on a few guys (for the Grizzly job). Maybe I can help out that way. I appreciate that he called me and I always do appreciate the interest in the state."
