MISSOULA — The Treasure State sports world was blindsided Wednesday when University of Montana head football coach Bobby Hauck unexpectedly announced his retirement.
The announcement comes after Hauck spent a combined 14 seasons over two stints as the head coach of his alma mater, with the second stint beginning in 2018. In that time, he became the winningest coach in Montana and Big Sky Conference history, and has led the Grizzlies to four FCS national championship games, most recently in 2023, the lone time in his second tenure.
