All I can say is W-O-W

Not when I can tell it would be a waste of my time. And I will let you in on a little secret...people weren't that enamored with some of Kraig's coaching abilities when he was coaching at UM. And those same things led to his demotion or termination and a couple other stops.

Because his Jersey number and IQ were similar.
The guy was/is clueless in analyzing offenses and making mid-game adjustments.
I agree with OldGriz72. I think Kraig would be a great head coach for our school. Only guy that was on staff during 90's when we were elite, and in the successful Hauck years. He was an assistant coach in 5 national championships. Statistically his defenses are better than any other coordinator this school has ever had. If you don't believe me ask and I will post the stats. I was told he was Dave Dickenson's recruiter. Oh and he also recruited Kroy Biermann, who wasn't a bad player for us. He helped bring in probably the school's two best players we have ever had. I love Beau Baldwin, Bobby Hauck, & Ty Gregorak and would be happy with any of them. For some reason people never give KP the respect he deserves. I will never know why, but I do know every time the guy is on staff at UM we are damn good.

This is like watching a boxing match where the poor bastard just won't stay down. He keeps gettin up and them jabs and hooks start comin and he goes down but he just won't stay down.
I think Paulson should definitely get a shot. I've seen him speak and he is very eloquent, respectful and has a great personality to make it as head coach. I know it's an unpopular opinion on this board, but the beauty of UM football is having that history, having someone that actually really cares about the school and the program, as opposed to someone that views it like a stepping stone. I don't think Paulson would do that.
Why does it matter if a coach looks at the Montana position as a stepping stone?
Grizindabox I did read this thread and you all you say is there is better resumes out there. Is there though? Here are the candidates that we all are speculating. I'm being a realest unlike a lot of ppl on here.
-Baldwin-Great resume, but says he wont come to another FCS school. Also, will be in the running at Oregon ST and Colorado ST. I don't see him coming here, therefore I'm marking him off the list.
-Hauck-Obviously very successful at UM. I will give you that his HC resume is better. I would be happy with him as the HC. But with him comes some stuff that Haslam might not want to deal with. I don't know that for sure but theres a high chance he might not want to deal with Bobby on a day to day basis.
-Gregorak-Overall has done a pretty good job as DC. But his resume isn't close to KP. Experience is less and defenses aren't as good.
-Pease-Taking about 120K pay cut. Will be mentioned for the Oregon ST head coach job. He like KP also has no head coaching experience. Don't think he will come.
Who else is out there? I think we all think we are going to get Bill Belicheck or Jim Harbaugh but lets be real....we aren't.
Also, having no head coaching experience doesn't mean you can't be a good head coach. Everyone has to start somewhere. Did McElwain have head coaching experience before CSU? No he didn't and he did damn good there.

I think Riley had settled in at OSU and was in semi-retirement and the program suffered for it. His move to Nebraska will be good for him and for OSU. I think UM as a stepping stone is a great thing. I just wish some (any) who have stepped up would have done better at the next level. It would help everyone who followed.grizindabox said:
I know for a fact that KP has no shot. The guy left a bad taste in many people's mouths when he was at Montana previously. And actually, there is not as much difference between Gregorak's defense and what Paulson put on the field...
