Bobby’s Legacy?

If Vigen stays at Montana State he will have the BSC wins record in 12 more seasons. Vigen would crush that record if he sticks around. Ask the players why they call what happens at UM the "MRA"

Shouldn't you be servicing your boyfriend instead of posting on the fan message board for a school he quit?

(By the way, we all know your "background" story is a pile of steaming shit)

Heard Big game Bobby knew he was quitting after the Cats smoked the griz in Bozeman (3 times in 13 months!) but waited till after signing period to stick it to Kent and force him to hire from within. He is extremely butt hurt he did not get his contract extension and stuck it to Kent out the door. That is the word in the street.

Pillow Talk?

None of that is true. No such word on street.

Bobby clearly just wont win over a few guys but his legacy very well could outlive many of us. It will be very difficult for any future coach to surpass his win total for Montana and in the Big Sky.

His legacy to me, as others have posted, he's the 2nd best coach we've ever had just behind Don Read. I will remember him for building Montana into a dominant force in 1.0 and for getting Montana back to the brand of football we all expected in 2.0. Both times he improved the program from when he took over to when he finished. He was a fierce competitor and wildly entertaining at QB Club meetings and in practices. He had a burning hate for Bozeman and helped fuel the rivalry. Sadly it will stay with him his ending overall rivalry record and the fact that he went 0-4 in the natty too. However in regards to the natty, I think all but maybe 3 or 4 other programs in all of the FCS would love to even have 2 trips to the big game, let alone 4 - regardless the outcome. Bobby was/is a great coach that provided many of us some of the greatest games we've ever seen in Wa Griz, who coached some of the greatest players we've ever seen in Wa Griz. He oversaw the graduation of hundreds of student athletes and especially in 2.0 was an excellent steward of the program, even as the landscape of college football slowly moved beyond him.

It has been said that change is annoying, yet certainty is absurd. The last sentence of your post is the one thing in this thread that should really be paid attention to. Curt Cignetti could have been annoyed with the changing landscape of college football. He probably was and he still found there was opportunity. His annoyance didn’t stop him from making changes and winning. He didn’t complain, he simply surrounded himself with the best people and adapted. Because if he didn’t, it was certain that Indiana would continue to not win, and how damn absurd would that have been.

How about the coaches at the other over 200 schools? One example doesn’t prove a point or your point.

He will be remembered for being the winningest coach in UM history!
He will be remembered for being the best!
He will be remembered for being a friend!

Best wishes to coach Hauck and thank you for everything!

If being a great coach is only winning games, which I did and included championsips, Iwould look at it as an empty career. I remember those wins with great memories about the teams, the players, that we shared life with and still do today. Bobby was a part of many players learning about life. He cared about his players. He stated he loved his teams and the feeling was mutual BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. That is how it works. In conversations the past couple of years even players who did not see eye to eye with him and moved on have started to look back in a positive way at the lessons they learned.

It is wrong. He really did not come to a decision to retire until Monday. He did struggle with it as I have done also. You just gradually know internally when time is right. Carroll College coach Mike Van Deist went through same struggle.

No, it doesn’t. It’s pretty analogous for the top teams in the country though. Do you really care to argue that not changing and evolving is the best path to go in this era of college football? Go for it and good luck. By the way, make sure and stop to get a movie at Blockbuster on your way home.

Hauck was a good football coach. If he had won a national title, he would be considered a great coach. All things considered, he represented the university very well! Hopefully the next page creates progress from the foundation Hauck built!

At the end of the day the legacy of Bobby Hauck 2.0 is simple: he got dominated by his rival. That’s what he will be remembered for.

The second thing he will be remembered for is that he could never win the big one.

What's your legacy? You definitely never played college football. You probably made the high school team and sat on the bench like Andrew Shitbag. Let me guess, you were a kicker. Hahaha,

The word on the street is you're a few years behind on your child support payments.
