Hauck was up 14-0 at home, cruising. Then, for reasons which I'll never know, they tried a fake field goal. A fake field goal vs. an FCS team? Huh?
It failed - momentum changed, NAU rattled off 17 straight.

Great game, Lumberjacks!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Thanks for showing BH that sometimes moving up isn't the same thing as making progress.

Fake FG is classic Bobby. He just doesn't have the team to back it up anymore. As sad as it is to say, UNLV would be a bottom feeder in the Big Sky. Bobby has 4 wins in two years and it just isn't going to get any better. I wish he would have stayed in Missoula one more year and I am pretty sure he would have found a more reasonable HC job than UNLV. It's a shame but good for Jerome.
As a UNLV/Griz fan, this game tonight may end Hauck's job. I like Hauck and im glad he's here but you cant lose two years in a row to FCS teams. I came to Vegas from Montana in 87' , so I know what im talking about when I say UNLV sucks in Football, the last coach to have a winning record was Harvey Hyde 1982–1985 26–19 .576.
Before the start of the 2001 season, Rebles only had two seasons above .500 since 92', then in 2001 the Rebels garnered national accolades as the team was ranked #25 in Sports Illustrated's preseason Top 25 and #24 in Football Digest's rankings. Quarterback Jason Thomas was named a candidate for the Heisman Trophy, ranking as high as #7. Although the Rebels seemed good on paper, the team did not gel and ended the season a disappointing 4-7.John Robinson retired after the 2004.
On December 6, 2004, the Rebels hired Utah assistant coach Mike Sanford as their ninth head football coach. In his first three years at the helm of the Rebels football program, Sanford failed to win more than two games and had back to back 2-10 seasons, finishing last in the Mountain West all three years. Sanford failed to beat Nevada all five years he coached at UNLV.
The Rebels finished the 2008 season with a 5-7 record after starting the season 3-1. This was the best win-loss record UNLV had since going 6-6 in 2003. It also marked the first time UNLV did not finish last in their division since 2004.
The 2009 season was a disappointment, and it led to Sanford's dismissal as coach. UNLV was picked to finish fifth in the conference, but the team began to fall apart after a surprising loss at Wyoming. That was followed by losses at Nevada, against Brigham Young and Utah, and at Texas Christian and the Air Force Academy — games in which UNLV was outscored 243-81. They rebounded toward the end of the season and finished 5-7.
After the Air Force loss on Nov. 14, the school announced Sanford's last game as coach would be the season finale against San Diego State. Former Montana head coach Bobby Hauck was named the program's next head coach on December 21, 2009.
Since 2001 the Rebles have not finished above .500. There is a little history for ya. :mrgreen:

Lynched is putting it kindly... I think this loss is even more devastating to them than the SUU loss last year. That they could write off as their QB getting confused and throwing TDs to the wrong team all game...
I feel bad for Hauck... he's a hell of a coach.. even if people don't like his personality or the way he handles the media, he won a lot of football games for the Griz. It sucks to see yet another Griz FB coach move up maybe a bit too soon and end up in a shitty situation.

My guess is he'll end up back as an assistant somewhere in the Pac 12.

BH will get no sympathy from me. Ego is a killer and can get you in a lot of trouble. He is hopefully learning a very valuable lesson in life right now - HUMILITY! Until now I am not sure he has had any. College football is a brutally tough job, but it does not justify being a dick. Hope he changes for the better.
IF Hauck completes this (2012) season as the head coach at UNLV, he will receive a completion bonus of $450,000 (in addition to his regular salary of $350,000). http://espn.go.com/college-football...bels-coach-bobby-hauck-contract-extended-2014
This should be sufficient incentive for Jim Livengood to make a move within the next few weeks.

Probably take a year off and then, yeah, likely an Assistant in the Pac 12 or possibly in the NFL. He's got contacts all over. He isn't going to need much sympathy on that front.

BH is simply not a top level football coach. When he does not have all the built in advantages that UM has over the other FCS programs to help him he can't win. I suspect he is gone after this year at UNLV

I do concur, BH out after this year. Actually, I really didn't like his play calling at UofM, so his play calling was his demise.

Nicely done, Hauck. Once again, people - anyone can win at Montana. Even a douche like Bobby.

Here is my take on Hauck: He received a caddy in 2003, then he took the caddy on a FS road overgrown by Mountain alder and Douglas-Fir and pin-striped the shit out of it, side-walled a tire, and nearly knocked the engine off the block by not clearing a large rock protruding in the middle of the FS road. When he left in 2009 he left the university a beat to shit Caddy. But it was still a Caddy.
Sorry, I really hate the Caddy analogy, but it seems to be the example vehicle everyone refers to on here.

Ok, I've got some crow in the oven. Hope it tastes good (probably not). As all of you know, I thought BH would trounce JS, as he had at UM. For the first time, Jerome Soures beats Bobby Hauck. Thought that an impossibility, & don't give me this "BH is in over his head." How could that be playing an FCS team, one he's beaten for 7 years, some blowouts? If he were still at UM, this would have been a W. Something else is going on.
I still look for 4, 5 W's this season. It's been a good season so far for FCS teams vs. FBS teams: SacSt over Colorado, NDSU over CSU, NAU over UNLV, EWU over Idaho, etc. Shows upper tier FCS teams & lower tier FBS teams not that far apart, regardless of conferences.
Yet, I think the UNLV AD is starting to line up possible replacements.
