Coach Kennedy new 4 year contract

He has checked every box so far, personable, in state recruiting, staff looks very solid, changes in S/C, getting himself and coaches into Montana high schools at an incredible rate, interactions with boosters across the state, has a very experienced background, recruit parents rave about him, returning players seem to love him, QB club numbers have dramatically increased, at many university events, and personally I have not heard of one bad impression with fans that have met him. Truth is wins come from head coach recruiting and his staff doing a good job with the talent they have. Might not be this year, but I expect soon MSU will not be dominating the state anymore.
 
As a natural pessimist, I do wonder if part of what's making Kennedy look so good right now is what a contrast he is to Hauck. Clearly Kennedy is doing what he's supposed to in recruiting, but I cannot stress enough how much Hauck wasn't doing. I've heard it first hand from many recruits and their parents, including a couple that are committed to UM in this years class.
 
The Montana Grizzlies will win the National Championship this season.

You will see who knows what about football this season. BK is going to do this with his guys and show you idiots it doesn't take 25 years to build a program. He is going to do it in one season.

Perhaps, but most of the players were recruited by Hauck, and NDSU is gone. We'll see how the new coaches do in games, and the plays and defenses are called. Perhaps the offensive-playing calling will be similar. UM has had a great program for decades, with a few flips. Finishing 3d and 2d the past few years shows the program is almost on top. I'm concerned about the OL.

Oh BS. Hauck and his coaches were doing very well.

Hauck was good at coaching, and recruiting transfers. Moderately okay at recruiting out of state HS players, but most of that was due to UM being UM.

Hauck was doing poorly recruiting in state. Undeniable fact, and if you disagree, ask the parents of the players currently committed the difference between BK and BH.

However brief they have been, interactions with BK from a player and family standpoint have been good thus far. And there was ZERO talk of him in a way that was interim. Everything was about what he's doing, changing, upgrading, implementing, etc moving forward in the program. From that standpoint, I imagine this was decided long ago.

Yes, when Kent was in Billings on the spring tour, he told me that BK had checked off every box on the performance list and exceeded the standards set. He made it clear he had met the test for a longer contract. With regard to all the bitching on here, I've no problem the way this was handled. It's made for a lot of eGriz pages from all those that know more that the accountable professionals.

I looked up the outward symptoms of simmering job burnout in the latest medical text and wouldn't you know it there was a pic of BH in his Griz shirt and cap.

I’m wondering who brought up Hauck in this thread about BK’s new contract and why.
