Bobby Hauck is 7-8 vs the Cats

[damnyoutuesday]

With the Cats whooping the Griz on Saturday, Bobby Hauck now has a losing record vs MSU. After going 5-2 in his first stint at UM, he has now gone 2-6 vs the Cats in his second stint. He has also not won in Bozeman since November 21, 2009 (16 years), and the Griz have not won in Bozeman since November 21, 2015 (10 years).

Some other fun Cat/Griz stats include the Cats lead the series 38-37 when both schools are in the same classification, and the Cats lead the Great Divide Trophy series (since 2000) 12-11.

Just thought you all might like to know!

Most losses to the Cats by any Gris coach ever, tied with Hysell for most losses of ANY coach. One more loss and he’ll own that one outright.

Might need to announce his retirement this off season if he wants to avoid that.

[Augustus]

Not sure if he's going to get the chance to retire. Every gris fan that I know is sick of him and I'm quite sure the boosters down there are getting tired of losing. While, like most, I hope he sticks around for a good long time, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see hime replaced.

Do you think he'll actually get fired, or just be told that early retirement is a good idea? His contract goes through January 2027 doesn't it? So they'd have to buy that out.

Unless, since he got a couple coach of the year awards this year, he'll get a new head coaching offer lol

[BOBCATBORN]

The other thing here is that he only lost 2 games (yes both to MSU) and he made the semi finals. Firing a coach that does that isn’t easy to do. It would be different if he had lost 6 or 7 games and didn’t make the playoffs.

[ZebraCat]

No FCS program is firing their head coach after going 13-2 and making the semi finals. Not MSU, not NDSU, not SDSU, not UM. That'd be a good way to kill a program and make any future candidates think a lot more than twice about taking the job.

[Cataholic]

Next season, the Gris get 7 home games on a 12 game schedule. You never know with the transfer portal, but they the only tough FCS games are against MSU, UC Davis and Idaho. They also have an FBS Oregon State game. They should get to 8 wins pretty easily.

Cats have 6 home games and a winnable FBS game against Nevada. Toughest games against Idaho, NAU and UM. We could go 12-0.

38-37? What am I missing?
Since MSU announced it was moving to the NCAA in 1956, MSU went 22-8 from '56 to 1985, then 0-16 from 1986 to 2001, then 13-10 from 2002 to 2025 (excludes 2011 game and no game in 2020). That's 35-34.

Tahts true enough. But lets face it: with THAT schedule & UMs ability to recruit talent, you or I would have gone 13-2.

Weren't they in the same division for a few years in an earlier era?

Maybe. Had to have been pre-1917 if so. MSU was in the RMAC from 1917 to 1956. UM was in what is now the PAC-2 beginning in 1902. That league was called the Northwest and then the PCC in 1915, and UM was in it until 1949. Then in 1951 they joined the Skyline Conference with BYU, Utah, Colorado, CSU, USU, Wyoming etc.

I just look at Cat-Griz as being on the same page starting in 1956. I call it the Modern Era of Cat-Griz.

We wouldn't be playing a 3-3-5, and might have beat us in Missoula

I always figured 1963 was the easiest start date for the modern era comparison. First year of the Big Sky with both teams being charter members. Zero argument from either side that they’ve been at the same level since that date. Kind of splitting hairs though, we’re talking 60+ years now of apples to apples comparison of the two programs.

I think you go as far back as you can. So, both in the NCAA is just as easy as BSC start. Zero argument there and you get 7 more games that way. Plus that’s also the year both schools started winning national championships.

The cats won the NAIA NC in 1956, the griz were NCAA major college that year. They were both NCAA in 1957.

I think we start a Go Fund Me page to keep him coaching.

MSU announced it was going to the NCAA in 1956 and thus began the Modern Era of the Cat-Griz sports rivalry. The Bobcats beat a NCAA team in 1956 and went 9-0-1 to earn its first national championship.

I doubt very much they fire the arrogant idiot and I hope not. He won't leave till they force him and I really don't see that happening. I would say he plays out his contract and receives a new one and he carries on. The fans are still a divided group and most believe he is God.

It would be a horrible place for a new coach to come into to coach. Terrible fans and he would be judged for everything he does after having the coach they had. A new coach there would las a few years at best.

They also play @NAU, which is never an easy road trip.
