Hauck to Illinois

Word of the Illinois DC leaving didn't leak out until Feb. 1, it looks like.

The phone of Hauck's agent was ringing off the hook after Hauck announced his retirement.
I’m ok with Hauck retiring/ resigning or whatever. People got the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. My question is did Illinois watch any film of our defense the last few years? It wasn’t that long ago that Eastern and Weber hung + 50 on the Griz D. Couldn’t stop power running game. Gave up way too many 3 and long in critical moments! Anyway, good for coach Hauck and his family. Hope it all works out. Go Griz!
 
Hauck was yapping in his retirement speech how coaching in today's college football wasnt fun anymore, how he didn't enjoy going to the office anymore and roughly a week later takes this job at Illinois.. guys a piece of crap.
Tell me you didn't listen to the press conference w/out telling me you never listened to the press conference. You may have watched it but you obviously shut your ears off for it.
 
From a news article.


Should Hauck leave UM for any reason other than "by reason of retirement, death, disability or incapacity," UM will receive as liquidated damages an "amount equal to Coach's Base Salary at the time of the termination, multiplied by the number of years remaining under this Contract and/or extension at the time of termination. In the case of partial years, the amount will be pro-rated by the number of months left in the partial year."
The reason was retirement. He no longer wanted to be a head coach. He made that clear.

FU. He was perfectly clear that being a head football coach wasn't fun anymore. You can be sure he did not entertain any HC offers.
 
So Bobby Hauck has become “king of the portal”. He entered the coaching portal and bam a big payday. lol… Anyone who thinks this was a spur of the moment deal is naive at best. Bobby has been and always will be secretive and speaking in half truths. It’s who he is..
Believe what you want; it's you that is naive.
