Early days [edit]
Hauck was born in Missoula, Montana, and was schooled at Sweet Grass County High School in Big Timber. His brother Tim was a star defensive back at Montana and went on to play 13 seasons in the NFL. Bobby did his higher studies at the University of Montana (1988) and UCLA (1991).[3] Hauck never played football at the collegiate level, instead competing in track at Montana before getting into coaching.[4]
Early positions [edit]
Hauck served as an assistant under Rick Neuheisel at Washington (1999–2002).[5] Additionally, he coach under Neuheisel at Colorado (1995–98). He also served as an assistant at Northern Arizona (1993–94), UCLA (1990–92), and Montana (1988–89).[6]
Head coaching career [edit]
Montana [edit]
Hauck's first season as head coach of Montana team was in 2003 and over the next seven seasons, the Griz won or shared seven straight Big Sky Conference championships. He is the fourth coach to guide Montana to a national championship game.[7] He took the 2004 team to the NCAA Division I-AA national championship game and the 2006 team to the I-AA semifinals.[8] In 2007, he signed a one-year contract, rejecting a three-year deal that he was offered.[8] Montana lost the national championship game in 2008 and 2009.
UNLV [edit]
Hauck had been rumored as a candidate for the vacant head coaching position at UNLV in December 2009 and interviewed with UNLV's Athletic Director Jim Livengood on December 20, 2009.[9] On December 22, the Las Vegas Sun reported that Hauck would be named UNLV's next head coach after completing a second interview earlier that day.[2] Hauck and UNLV agreed on a three-year contract worth $350,000 annually in base pay. Hauck can also earn up to $150,000 in completion bonuses that are heavy in incentives.[1]
Controversies over student athlete violence [edit]
In 2009, he became the subject of national controversy when he refused to take questions from the school newspaper the Montana Kaimin following the paper's story about an alleged assault by two Grizzly football players.[10] During Hauck's tenure, the Montana Kaimin reported 11 separate violent incidents involving Grizzly football players. Charges against student athletes ranged from assault to domestic violence to murder. It is of note that the murder charge resulted in a full acquittal.[11]
