Joel Goodson
- it's all ball bearings, nowadays
he was an excellent player. thing is, good player doesn't mean good coach. quite comfortable that Coach B's due diligence is top notch
The unfortunate truth is that this staff on paper is worse than the first staff and the last staff. Let’s hope the culture has been built up enough where it doesn’t matter. Because this staff gives me anxiety
Montana just added a new dl coach so I would guess Mike Linehan would be on our staff in some capacity.
He better join as an analyst or assistant dline coach. If he’s the hire for the dline coach it’s very underwhelming
Just curious if short bus people know the difference between “personal” and “personnel”?
Oops…..
Walters was a good DC at Illinois. Missouri, not so much. Drink wanted to bring in a co DC. Walters pushed back. Drink was considering firing him, but Bielima hired him, so Drink didn't have to pull the trigger.

Are you saying John Wozniak, former OSU running backs coach, is our new RB coach?
Same. I was ready to move on from AHen after last year.
Do you know any coach who has always made the 'right' decision at every turn in their career ? Have you known anyone who has always made the right decision, in every instance of their life ? ? Have you always made the right or even the 'best' decision in every instance of your short life ? ?
I think he meant Archie...because he mentioned before that he's not sure he'd be back...same as he mentioned for Parker... Think Art has been locked in.

Which is a serious mistake. College football is a profit driven enterprise. Personal attachments have a place but can not affect business decisions. IMO, AHen should have never been promoted. Handing the keys to an unproven coach at a B1G school was dicey at best. I know it's water under the bridge now. A drastic change in defense concepts has its own issues. I'm hoping for the best.
Huh? are you telling me that Knapik, Terk, McMillen, Henderson, Hanson/Stewart/Martin/Refnro aren't going to be our first 8 O - Lineman next year? And are you telling me that Farrell, Janki, Demetrius, White, Brown, Barna, Kreutz, Beerman, Kante, Rooks aren't 10 of the 14 players that will rotate in the front 7 (or it could be 6) on D next year? If I am wrong about that, let me know. I personally have been waitng to see how our more recent recruits will compete and I am looking foward to seeing where we stand. As for the Portal rankings - how do recuit defensive players via the portal whent your defensive coaching staff is changing? Don't be surprised if one or two of the empty roster spots is filled from players from Montana. Given the defense we are going to play we will miss Angelo McCullmm. The rest ? Not as much.
you need a hobby my guy lol. A couple of guys who are right a lot isn’t a news story
Amazing how you can’t get a single thing right lately

I forgot to mention, that's only for the defense. Can he transition to coach DL?
If you are hiring Hauck to install his defense, why wouldn’t you want him to bring his staff that know his scheme? He’s been Bobby’s DLine coach for three years - I think that makes him qualified
Oh my...it's so happening...RB to TE to..."Cooper also helped Riley Wilson make the switch from tight end at Hawaii to linebacker at Montana, finishing his first season in FCS second in the Big Sky in tackles for loss and fifth in sacks during the 2023 season." https://fightingillini.com/news/202...-named-illinois-inside-linebackers-coach.aspx
Mike Linehan - Football Coach - University of Montana Athletics
Mike Linehan enters his third season as Montana’s defensive line coach in 2025. He joined the Grizzly program in February of 2023 after spending three years ...
You think that makes him qualified for coach in the big10? Like I said he can be on he can be on that staff but it’s a major L if we don’t add anyone else. This is a huge hire for the staff it needs to be a home run
