I went on a bit of a rant in another forum and on Twitter what I think Montana should do in the event that Travis DeCuire is hired at Cal. But I didn't hear much from fans about who they would like to see replace DeCuire, so who would you want?

Brother Bear said:What about Ken Bone? He was an assistant at Montana to DeCuire and former head coach at Washington State University. He is currently on staff with Mark Few at Gonzaga. He I think lives in Missoula and commutes to Spokane to help out with the Zags, I believe has kids in school in Missoula still.
What about Danny Sprinkle at Cal State Fullerton? Former bobcat player yes, but wouldn't just irk bobcat fans If Gregorak can do it, anyone can right?
I think there are some other Pac12 assistants who would be interested.

Why? His team was miserable this year...and not without some talent.

citay said:I think it's highly unfair to kids today that they have to sit out a year if they transfer, but a coach leaves and it's, "See ya!" You bring in Bone, Chris Cobb goes with DeCuire, leaving these kids not playing for either of the coaches that recruited them. Not fair. If DeCuire leaves, I think we have an obligation to hire Cobb, if he wants the job. You make changes at the top only when the program is in trouble--and that is not the case at Montana. Plus, several branches of the Montana coaching tree grew from within.

He left before his contract at UM was finished and there was some "question" as to what compensation was owed him. Of note, neither Travis nor UM Administration thanked Ken for his contributions at UM, and Bone did not thank Travis or UM for the opportunity. I don't think he left in good standing.
Bone had some good teams at PSU, but he had some guys with questionable character on those teams. Remember also that PSU was penalized for academic shortcomings as Bone left.
