Hauck hired by Titans

UCLA safeties coach Tim Hauck was hired by the Tennessee Titans today, creating a vacancy on the staff. Here is the release from UCLA:

UCLA'S TIM HAUCK HIRED BY TENNESSEE TITANS

Tim Hauck, who coached the Bruin safeties in 2008, is leaving UCLA to join the staff of the NFL's Tennessee Titans as assistant secondary coach, it was announced today.

"This is a great opportunity for Tim and his family," said UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel. "He did a great job for us this past season and we certainly wish him well with the Titans."

Neuheisel said that the search for a new secondary coach will begin immediately.

In 2008, UCLA ranked second in the Pac-10 in pass defense and Hauck was a key figure in the development of freshman Rahim Moore, who started all 12 games.

Prior to arriving at UCLA, Hauck spent four years on the staff at the University of Montana, his alma mater. During that span, Montana compiled a record of 43-10, making the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs all four years, including the title game in 2004.

Hauck, 42, played safety in the National Football League for 13 seasons, retiring in 2002. He originally signed with the New England Patriots as a free agent in 1990 and played for Green Bay, Seattle, Denver, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and San Francisco.

A safety for the Grizzlies, Hauck earned first-team All-America honors in both 1988 and 1989. He was voted the Big Sky Conference's defensive MVP as a junior and a senior and he also was voted the recipient of Montana's Steve Carlson Award (MVP) those two seasons. He is the only player in school history to receive the Golden Helmet Award ("Hardest Hitter") three times, winning it in 1987, 1988, and 1989. He earned his degree in Business Education in 1990.

Hauck is ranked third in Montana history with 305 career tackles in just three seasons at Montana. He's third in school history with 15 career interceptions. He began his college career at Pacific University in Oregon and was an all-conference pick there as a freshman.

Hauck (pronounced: Howk) prepped at Sweet Grass High School in Big Timber, MT and was an all-state quarterback and defensive back, playing for his dad, Bob Hauck Sr. His brother, Bobby Hauck, is the head coach at Montana. Bobby worked on Neuheisel's staff at both Colorado and Washington and was a graduate assistant at UCLA while Neuheisel was an assistant coach.

Tim Hauck is a native of Butte, MT and was born on December 20, 1966.
 
One Hauck has talent and gets jobs

The other Hauck doesn't and stays at UM.


I suspect if TH keeps moving up the coaching ladder it will open doors for a "last name" only hire for his brother. BH better bank on the fact his brother is improving his coaching career for him since he is not able to do so.
 
That's what I love about your posts, alpha, always on the positive note. I think the argument could certainly be made that Bobby has climbed the coaching ranks much faster that Tim. If you'd ask just about any coach, being the head man is more prestigious than an assistant at any level. If you remember, BH was a coordinator at Washington (a pac-10 team), which is still better that secondary coach (TH). I'm not downplaying TH's talent as a coach (I think he has A TON), but Alpha, when will you get it through your head that Bobby is a WAY talented coach?

You must be joking. Being the head coach of an FCS football team is not nearly as prestigious job as being the secondary coach in the NFL. The next move for Tim will be as Offensive coordinator, which leads to becoming a head NFL coach. There was plenty of talk that Bobby Hauck would leave Montana for the Titans. So, if that were a possibility, would it not confirm that any NFL job is a better job than making $110 grand a year to coach a second tier college football team? I ssure you that Timmy will make 300% or more money that Bobby will.
 
I believe good college head coaching jobs and I-A jobs are generally more prestigious than NFL position coaching jobs. NFL jobs pay very well, tho.

Many NFL coaches and even some coordinators leave to become head coaches in college. Some NFL coaches leave to become assistants in college.

BH probably has opportunities to go to the NFL, but I assume he prefers to move up in the college coaching ranks. I assume he would also prefer to take his staff with him to a better college coaching job, instead of leaving them to scramble for new jobs.
 
I assumed the Tim was going to Tennessee when I saw Chuck Cecil was promoted from secondary coach to defensive cord.

The term "coordinator" usually refers to offensive or defensive. BH has never had a real coordinator job. He is a HC whose primary assistant experience is recruiting and special teams. He is a better candidate for a move-up HC position based on his eye-popping record than he is for a real coordinator positon, for which he has no special expertise.
 
I think Bobby would much rather move his whole staff with him to a head coaching position. BH was recruiting/special teams coordinator. Not saying this is on level with O or D coordinator, but what is the most important aspect of college football? recruiting. What has been a huge factor in a ton of
games the griz have won over the years? Special Teams, and the fact they do it better than pretty much every single team they are playing. ;)
With all that said, Way to go Tim!! Great to see, great coach also.

Tell me more. Based on his Big Timber experience?

My bad. I meant to say "defensive coordinator". It was already mentioned in this thread that the previous D-backs coach was promoted to D-coordinator. I'm sure that Timmy has his sights on that goal in his future.

Yeah, his Big Timber experience will get him to the promised land, just like Petrino's Helena experience did for him..... :roll:

Probably based on the fact that they are good friends. Not that long ago we ran into them in Stock's...Funny how the "network" thing works-

Good for TH and Chuck Cecil...
