Committed Montana recruits impressed by Hauck

on

MISSOULA — Bobby Hauck has been the head coach for the University of Montana football team for all of eight days, yet he’s already making a big impression on the recruiting trail.

Hauck inherited recruiting class with 15 verbal commitments who pledged to recruiting coordinator Justin Green and former head coach Bob Stitt. Hauck announced on Friday that Green, offensive line coach Chad Germer and safeties coach Shann Schillinger will be retained.

At least eight of those prospects told Skyline Sports their primary reason for choosing Montana before Stitt’s contract was not renewed centered upon their love for the Griz football program and the university in general rather than the head coach or currently coaching staff.

Most of those sentiments remain true now that Hauck is back at the helm for his alma mater for the second time.
