Instant Reactions - Kennedy Presser

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Your vitriol for Haslam is unjustified.

I think as of now. Haslam pulled off an amazingly soft landing here. Nobody on this forum will ever know for sure. But if BK is successful this will go down as his greatest achievement at Montana.

He mentioned the OL coach and hiring a special teams coach but what about a running back coach?

Also a receivers coach

 

[grizfan1984]

WR coach was announced as Eric Price who helped Kennedy with receivers last season

I could have swore last week or the week before that players had on there instagram story he was leaving for a OC job in the xfl or something

 

[Forever Griz]

I thought Kennedy made a very good initial impression. Obviously a very likable guy with a great deal of enthusiasm. I'll be very anxious to see how things develop as we get closer to spring practice.

What does this say about Pease that he was not offered the job?

 

[5280Griz]

What does this say about Pease that he was not offered the job?

That he wants to lead the offense.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

Also a receivers coach

Also a recruiting director, or coordinator, or something. Ah well, it probably doesn’t matter much since they can be very good for years, but our recruiting can still suck for years, but it CANNOT be the fault of the recruiting director or coordinator or chief or baked ham or whatever.

Yea, but they make me clear out my tent and personal items before the game day crowd arrives. Something about me being an "unsightly nuisance." I don't know what they meant with all those syllables, but they point and I go.

Good thing you still have your van down by the river : ) !!!

 

[Ursa Major]

I think Vigen will continue to be aggressive in recruiting Montana athletes, though he may have to work a little harder.

If only he had a personality to use.

 

[Ursa Major]

What does this say about Pease that he was not offered the job?

He’s a grumpy old man?

 

[GriznMN]

He’s a grumpy old man?

Or he didn't want to deal with NIL and the transfer portal.

 

[Ut-Grizfan]

What does this say about Pease that he was not offered the job?

I think he's also retiring in a year or 2

 

[Ursa Major]

Or he didn't want to deal with NIL and the transfer portal.

Fair enough. I’m just a little bit younger then those guys and I know the hard ass style of the coaches they learned from. I’m hopeful that BK brings a more positive coaching style.

Don’t fuck with me tonight, MN. I’m in Hawaii and I lost my main drinking buddy today. Few people know this but EG carries around 3/4 of a gallon of beer with him where ever he goes. Land, sea or air.

I’m still in awe of the man.

 

[HookedonGriz]

That wasn’t announced just what Colter said

I thought haslam said it in Bobby’s presser when they were talking about giving jimmy different responsibilities and some other stuff. I’ll have to rewatch. I heard it somewhere I thought as opposed to reading it.

"Lost" like you can't find him or "lost" as in he died?

 

[Ursa Major]

"Lost" like you can't find him or "lost" as in he died?

At this point, I really don’t know. If he isn’t in my presence with 3/4 of gallon of beer, he’s dead to me.

 

[HelenaHandBasket]

I believe he made it known that he wasn't interested.

Well played

 

[RobGriz]

Liked the presser. Liked what he had to say especially about being visible and recruiting Montana kids. Now if he just gets rid of that trash 3-3-5

 

[billingsgriz]

My only concern is I think Haslam should have signed him to a 3 yr contract, especially for retention of existing players and recuiting esprcially high-school kids but also portal transfer players so that we don't have opposing coaches telling kids we're recruiting, " But who's your coach next year, Johnny ?
