New UM coach - besides Bobby Hauck

Post by HiLineCat » Tue Nov 21, 2017 1:40 pm

Might as well start throwing some names out there.
I'll start with Jim McElwain. He probably has to step back a bit from major college coaching to restore his reputation after his troubles in Florida.. He could be a lot like Dan Hawkins, who has done wonders for the Sac State program. Of course being born and raised in Missoula doesn't hurt with the fan base.

Paul Wulff would be there best option. I honestly don't think Hauck would do well there again with the current players on the roster. And who knows if he could ever build it back to where it's winning championships again. Best case scenario would be to watch Hauck go there and have a few losing seasons. That would be comedy gold, egriz would be a blast.

Jim McElwain is not going to UM.

Don't be idiots.

Maybe not now. I could see it in 10 years though as a retirement gig. Like Joe Moglia.

I don't what happened this year to make it different, but every other time they needed a coach Dave Dickenson's name was in the mix.

Yeah, among the egriz fantasy land crowd. But as a head coach in the CFL, he probably makes about double what UM could pay. So...?

And isn’t Canada rated the most liveable country in the world? Not saying I think it’s better than the ol’ USA.

I have Brent Pease a couple times and I hope he gets the job. His last job as UTEP OC was a complete disaster getting canned early in the season. He has a long pedigree but there does not seem to be any recent promotions, only setbacks.

Think they'll reach out to Beau Baldwin (who'll probably laugh at them) and Mike Breske - DC at Idaho.

I would be shocked if they didn't reach out to Dave Dickensen. Not sure it would be successful but it doesn't hurt to try. Here is what I found on CFL coaches salaries in general. I would think Dave would be in the top of this range with his success.

Information found here is not endorsed by the league or member clubs. It is for general information only, facts presented based on information known. No one should draw any conclusions based on the information below.

CFL coach salaries are not public. The coaching salary budgets of teams has increased substantially in the last 10 years, with coaching staff sizes increasing (from average of 5.7 in 2003 to 9.5 assistants in 2015), salaries increasing and more coaches in year-round positions. There is no cap or control on coach or football operations salaries in the CFL. As such, it is easy for team ownership to believe they can attain a championship by increasing the number of position coaches or spending more to hire a coach with a history of winning.

Assistant coach salaries differ depending on the role. Offensive and defensive coordinators earn more than positional coaches. The salary offered will vary depending on experience and position. CFL assistant coaches can have long careers but live a nomadic existence that coaching requires.

A CFL team will spend around $2 million per year in salaries for their general manager and coaches. The CFL coaching budgets and salaries have been increasing in recent years as the league prosperity increases, with teams employing more coaches and paying them more than five years ago.

Please understand these estimates are for fan purposes only, educated guesses gleaned from a few media reports and other resources. Prospective coaches should query their coaching fraternity, agents or other sources for actual ranges.

Head coaches earning more than players mirrors business practices where salaries of managers, directors, vice presidents, etc. will exceed that of workers. Such is the real world.

Last coaching change at UM DD was interviewed and reading between the lines he is flattered but has absolutely no interest. His wife is Canadian and a pharmacist and they have lived in Calagary for years.

Why would he give up being the head coach in Calgary to drop down to UM?

I don't see it happening.

I don't know why he wouldn't be considered. I know EWU had some NCAA issues when he left and they were to serve it in 2010 but they appealed it and Paul had to take some kind of compliance courses when he was the head coach at WSU. I alway thought his teams where very good. He is currently a coach on the Sac State staff. Maybe he made enough money as the HC for Cougs he doesn't want to take on the stress of another HC position?

According to a very reliable source (a very good friend and former teammate of DD's at both CMR and UM) Dave has no interest in the job at this time, but might reconsider once his kids are out of high school. I believe they are currently 9 and 11 or thereabouts, so that means he's probably off the radar for about 10 years or so. They'll probably run through another 5 or 6 head coaches between now and then, if the nest 10 years are anything like the last 10.
