Gawd, there are a bunch of unrealistic dreamers on here! Who, exactly, did you have in mind who already has a stellar record and hasn't yet moved up to a big-time football school, AND is willing to move down to a Montana for a 75 to 95% cut in pay. Scenery and trout will pay some of the bill but not much. Take a coach with a lot of experience who has comparatively superior facilities, recruits, and a positive football atmosphere and you'll be surprised at the possibilities for success.
Those doubting the hiring of Baer, have a legit reason for concerns. Got to admit, his overall track record isn't very encouraging. The results he has gotten have been inconsistent at best. Also keep in mind, many were holding out hope for Tim Hauck (A true GRIZ) to coach with his brother. I even heard, some fans were thinking that Breske just might return. To many fans, either of those options are better for legitimate reasons.
I normally am pretty openminded to seeing where things go with hires. The most openminded I can get on the Baer hire, is hoping my trust and confidence in Bobby Hauck, will win out.
