Bobby Hauck's next job

Posted on August 16, 2007 by Colin O'Keefe
Bobby Hauck's goal of moving up in the coaching ranks as soon as humanly possible is no secret. Since the 'if' is resolved, it comes down to when and where. If this year's Griz football team lives up to expectations, it's very likely the 2007 season will be his last in Missoula. So, where will it be?

The Coaches Hot Seat has ranked all 119 FBS coaches based on the temperature of their figurative chair. Here's the top ten:
  1. Houston Nutt, Arkansas
  2. Tyrone Willingham, Washington
  3. Al Groh, Virginia
  4. Joe Glenn, Wyoming
  5. Ed Orgeron, Ole Miss
  6. Tommy Bowden, Clemson
  7. Tommy West, Memphis
  8. Karl Dorrell, UCLA
  9. Phil Bennett, SMU
  10. Randy Edshall, Connecticut
Let's have fun and assume all ten of these programs take major steps backward and fire their coaches. Washington, Wyoming and UCLA are the most likely destinations. Hauck has past coaching experience at Washington. UCLA is a regional school for Hauck's Pac 10 ties. Wyoming is a nearby school that Hauck may settle for if all other options fall through. However, it seems more likely Wyoming would turn him down before he turned down Wyoming. Would the Cowboy program really hire another Montana Grizzlies head coach immediately following the firing of another?

If Montana wins the NC this year, Bobby will get a 1-a job. He really wants a pac 10 job and probably won't go to Wyoming. UCLA might be a strech, but I can see Wyoming.
