Thanks for the heads up! This is great to see. I'm glad they are willing to at least show there are many supporters
To save you a click. Pretty straight forward, just the facts. No mention of Davey petition, a few quotes from Kent. I did find it interesting when I copy and paste all the advertising and photos come up as however they labeled them when they put the piece together. The pictures of Hauck transferred over as "Bobby Hauck mug photo."
Maybe I'm reading too far into things but I personally thought that was a bit telling. *shrugs shoulders*
When this is posted on Facebook someone can figure out how to post a link to petition in the comments. Missoulian put a link to change.org in Katos piece on Davey but I didn't see anything as convenient of a link in this one.

Petition in support of the return of Bobby Hauck draws more than 2,700 signatures

Bobby Hauck's fans are rallying in support of his return as University of Montana Grizzlies football coach in a petition that had drawn more than 2,700 signatures by Monday afternoon.
"We will cheer him on as he leads his athletes to new heights and encourages these student-athletes to be positive role models, productive community members, and quality representatives of Grizzlies athletics," reads the petition started on an eGriz.com forum.
Hauck coached the Grizzlies football team from 2003 to 2009 and racked up 80 wins, the second-highest number of victories in UM history. Griz supporters from Montana and beyond signed the letter thanking Hauck for his return, some with personal comments.
"Bobby is a great man and coach from a great Montana family," wrote signer Dave Hahn in a comment. "He has the ability to get our football program back to dominance! Welcome home, Bobby!"
Signer Loren Lee said the decision to bring back Hauck confirms change for the better: "I suspect Hauck has learned much since his last gig at UM, as has the university."
Currently, Hauck is on staff at San Diego State University, and he earlier coached at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
The decision to hire him again at UM has revealed fractures in the community, with the petition in favor of his return coming on the heels of one opposing his hiring and a call from some faculty that UM reconsider his contract. Hauck's detractors argue his tenure contributed to a climate that led to federal investigations of the campus for mishandling sexual assault and blemished the flagship's reputation.
Monday, Athletic Director Kent Haslam said the decisions he makes will be popular with some and unpopular with others, and said there will be bumps in the road. Within the athletic department, though, Haslam said he wants to ensure the focus remains on the overall success of student athletes.
"I knew in hiring Coach Hauck that there would be no middle ground," Haslam said. "There would be a lot of emotions on both sides, and I think that's been manifest.
"But I'm excited to move forward in a really positive way and make sure that we do all we can to unify and continue to work hard to advance the mission of the university."
***
UM officials have said reconsideration of Hauck's hiring is not on the table, but note Hauck will hold conversations with the campus and community about their concerns. In an earlier letter to faculty, Haslam said both he and Hauck are "absolutely committed to operating an athletic department that is focused on success in the classroom, community and competition."
Monday, Haslam said the forums with Hauck likely will be scheduled after the first of the year, and the coach is eager to take questions: "He's anxious to get out to the community and across campus. We just need to get him here and get his family here."
The contract with Hauck sets requirements for player conduct off the field. One section requires the coach, his assistant coaches and football student athletes to "foster a culture of collaboration within the department, across campus, and within the community." Last week, Haslam noted the NCAA recently mandated that student athletes have sexual harassment training — a requirement UM instituted five years earlier.
In their petition, supporters of Hauck note they fully expect him to create a positive, caring and inclusive culture within his team. They also expect he will use the student athlete code of conduct to appropriately discipline players who fail to be positive representatives of the team, UM, and the Missoula community.
"Coach Hauck has had a tremendous role and influence in the positive development of hundreds of student-athletes during his tenure with the University of MT," reads the petition. "Many of these former athletes have voiced their strong, supportive opinion of Coach Hauck during this hiring process.
"We fully support and expect Coach Hauck and his staff to continue to be a positive influence in helping each of these student-athletes reach their full potential."

Thanks for the info and for posting. The article did show up on their FB page and there are already comments in support of Hauck and a link to the petition posted as well. Awesome!
Saw Shaun Rainey got a mention of this petition on their 9pm news program as well. Great to see some media attention to the supporting side. Great work everyone. Appreciate all the sharing, signing, and promoting!

Keila,
Why do you and all of the Missoula media allow multiple people to say or write stuff like this (below) and not ask or challenge them for their support and backup?
"Hauck's detractors argue his tenure contributed to a climate that led to federal investigations of the campus for mishandling sexual assault and blemished the flagship's reputation."
That statement is absolutely not true. There is not one shred of evidence to support that statement.
There were no sexual assault claims or charges against players in the 7 years Hauck was at UM. Yes, one Missoula kid recruited while Hauck was the coach, plead guilty to sexual assault almost 3 years after Hauck left for UNLV. Jordan Johnson was recruited by Coach Pflugrad, not Hauck. Pflugrad had known Johnson and his dad for many years, and Pflugrad's son and Johnson played at the same high school in Eugene when Pfugrad was coaching for Oregon. Johnson committed to UM in early January when Pflugrad was the head coach. My source is Pflugrad. I call him last week to verify.
Also, Johnson was acquitted, never kicked out of UM, never lost his scholarship, was allowed to play 2 2 more years, and was later paid $245,000 by UM for the unfair treatment UM gave him.
And not one of Hauck's recruits were involved in any of the other UM sexual assault proceedings that occurred years after Hauck left. And, as you should know, those proceedings didn't go anywhere for anyone who bothered to get a lawyer to fight them. Not one player who got a lawyer to help fight the proceeding got kicked out of school. In fact, they won their UM proceedings.
"Contributed to the climate"? Can you or anyone you talk to, explain how Hauck contributed to the climate. The feds didn't come to UM until about 25 years after Hauck departed for UM. UM and Missoula handled, or mishandled, sexual assault. Not Hauck.
And Hauck didn't cause the enrollment decline either. Enrollment was going up steadily while Hauck was at UM, and enrollment continued to go up for 2 years after he left. It was 4 years after he left before enrollment had a significant drop. In year 3, it dropped about 250, after many years of growth.
Are the Missoulian, the Kaimin, people like Lisa Davey and the 28 professors incapable of showing any objectivity or doing any research?

One more thing, Keila. Let's have a discussion/debate. Soon. I've lined up my friend Stacey Coulter. See her op-ed or writing coming up in the Independent. She's a Griz fan and victim's advocate/expert. I think I've got Bring Wahlberg lined up (he's kind of shy). The 3 of us will take on Cato/Kato of the Missoulian (or you), Puckett of the Kaimin, Lisa Davey, and the women prof who wrote the letter for the 28 profs. Kyle Sample or someone neutral but knowledgeable about Griz athletics can moderate. The subject will be the topics/statements in the articles in the Missoulian and Kaimin, Davey's petition, and the professors' letter.
My group is ready. We know subject and the facts. We've followed the facts for years. We know a lot of the people involved.

Good points. You may also contact Keila directly by using the contact information she posted. Might be easier than passing notes. Just a suggestion.

Really, argh? You can’t take one opportunity to drop your PR obsession long enough for a little cameraderie?
And, fix your question mark or learn to cut and paste. It’s an issue that is affecting the entire group....spreading through all forums like a virus.
