Some coaches do have the ability to turn things around over time and perhaps Hauck still has that ability but the record shows that he hasn't done this for several years. We can debate this at length after recruitment but I am not holding my breath that he has the ability to recruit an exceptional class.
Really, in his last postion at SDSU, he was Associate HC and ST Coordinator; recruiting reported into the former role. Check out the talent that came into that program. Prior to coming to UM he was recruiting coordinator for Neuheisel at Colorado and at UDub. He already has some outstanding 2019 MT commits. With a comment like that you don't look be a debate challenge.
I wouldn't be bragging about the recruiting classes he was responsible for at the u dub. He has a horrible reputation at Washington. I actually believe he is a very good recruiter for the FCS level but would not encourage anyone I know to actually play for him. I think the word is out for how he treated his players at UNLV and the way he treated the existing players on the UM roster. He does have a style that appeals to some but by an large he has been exposed by the jerk he really is and the sooner we cut ties with him the better.
Also a good recruiting coordinator does not make him a good coach. I think it’s pretty obvious his success at um in the past was due to his recruitment and development of players. But his Xs and Os and his game plan/play calling/adjustments have always been suspect. (See Villanova championship getting mariani the ball all first half and not at all in second half while Matt Sczur shreds us)
Given the talent that the team had in the 2000s it is a miracle we didn’t have more championships
