They have very skilled secondary. Better talent to utilize the scheme. Still an uphill battle for Illinois to get through Ohio St, Michigan, Indiana. Maybe that’s why Hauck was an intriguing prospect. I’m sure the defense will play with discipline. I’m intrigued.
Categorically incorrect.
Less than 4 and maybe less than 2
They have a talented Dline and experienced talented edges. The good news for Montana is Illinois already has the players for the scheme Hauck is going to run so the players following him will probably be minimal.
He did 7 times.
Kids that could transfer to FBS already had the opportunity. I really don’t see us losing anyone to Illinois. I would assume most of their roster is constructed and will wait for spring portal to fill remaining spots.
I don’t think you realize the difference in responsibilities between a HC and coordinator. He gets to coach football while coach Bielema has to do all the shit work Hauck had a disdain for. Why do you care what he does?
He's the ultimate competitor.
Ask Big 10 member Washington.
Difference between "retiring" and "resigning", sold us on the "retiring" one, pretty slick: tired of coming to work, complaining about developments in college football these days...blah, blah blah.. Would have looked different than....hey "I'm "resigning"...I'm leaving, got a way better job across the way, big pay, and I like going to work, even with all those things I said bad about college football"! None the less, it's not head coach, so less cross hairs pressure, he's got a good football head, loves football, should do well!!

I don't think it's condemnation, as opposed to the way college football has changed. Is he wrong for being human, and changing with the times? Bobby never condemned his players. He has condemned the system. Bobby cares for and has always cared for his players. This is a family decision, which you have no understanding to why he made this decision. Professional or a family decision, this is something that he made professionally and family wise. I think he made the right decision for him and his family. To hold animosity toward someone for a decision like this is sophomic and idiotic. Get into real life. Man.
Glad someone sees the humor in this too...I'm retiring...but hey saying resigning all the sudden would not have drawn as much sympathy!!
Everything in this post is dead wrong.
why do you assume players are going to follow him? Do you think Illinois reserved a bunch of spots for Montana transfers? Hauck isn’t a HC anymore.
What did this move do to you? Are you going to consult all of us before you make your next career move?
Maybe not that far, but it's in bad taste, I'm "retiring"...now watch me pull a rabbit out the hat...ding ding magic!!
Did he call it retiring? He said he would come back in another capacity besides head coach, which is what this is. Retiring was what the thing was labeled, but he clearly said he could work in a different capacity.
There is a good chance the number will be 0. Probably more likely than not no players follow him.
No, they clearly worded him retiring to get of having to "buyout" his remaining salary.
