Is this a 'magic underwear' thing? I was hoping we could leave undergarments out of the discussion. After all, what does it have to do with football?
Ringneck said:I'm sure others have mentioned it elsewhere, but I'm wondering if our incoming President, Seth Bodnar, has been given an opportunity to weigh in on the search and decision and has expressed disapproval (or hesitation, at the very least) at the idea of hiring Bobby Hauck. Regardless of his potential to bring success to the football program, hiring a good ol' boy like Bobby, with the perceived baggage he brings, seems counterintuitive at a time when the University is trying to escape its demons, rebrand itself, improve its appeal, and win back defectors and detractors.
Additionally, with the deeply entrenched territorialism at the University, the task of building a collaborative campus-wide culture will already be a difficult task for Bodnar. Perhaps he realizes that having a guy like Bobby, who has a reputation for doing things however the hell he wants to do them, would be counterproductive to the bigger picture. I think hiring Hauck would send a mixed message from the University, at the very least. You can't say "things are going to be different" out one side of your mouth while announcing "things are going to be just like they used to be" out the other.
In short: Yes, this is an important decision, but there's more at stake here than football.

While I believe the premises of this protest and petition are untenable, there appears to be a growing sense that in regards to hiring Bobby Hauck, Haslem is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. At this point it's up to him to choose his executioners.

Or do these professionals have less influence on the culture of the University?

Seems that hit piece in the Missoulian is doing exactly what they wanted it to do...blow up into a controversy similar to the Tennessee crap. Great.
Somehow it's now turned into a gender issue where if you want Hauck back as coach then you are sexist and obviously support sexual assault.

Good point, and also in this case they're holding Hauck responsible for stuff that was done years after he was no longer the coach here, and holding him responsible for "crimes" in which the accused was found not guilty.
