@EarnUrTurns2 @SkylineSportsMT How? We’ve got our three best offensive weapons returning. That alone is a strong base. How is it “cooked”?

BREAKING NEWS FOR #GRIZFB, who were expected to have a signing day press conference & luncheon today:
Instead - Bobby Hauck expected to resign as Montana's head coach on Wednesday.
Wide receivers coach Bobby Kennedy will be the head coach. One source confirms that Kennedy will have no interim tag. Kennedy will serve as UM's head coach in the fall of 2026.

So how would you describe how you're feeling with Hauck retiring Griz fans?
English
@Bwahlberg A depressing day for Bobcat nation. Why Bobby Why?
English
@CSG_MSU Sad day for Bobcat nation for sure. Just couldn’t face playing in Bozeman one more time.
English
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@ShaunRainey After reading the reactions to this is, is it too soon to start the documentary "Meltdown in Missoula"?
English
@ASchmidtacular Is there someone out there with a journalism degree or any degree for that matter, that wants to start working on the documentary "Meltdown in Missoula"? I'll give you the rights to use this coined title at no cost.
English
This is, again, maddening that your rival’s HC drives 200 miles to give a kid his first scholarship offer and you can’t drive across town? Is reserve traffic that bad?

Vigen made the trip over to Missoula to offer Big Sky QB Eli Kasberg
English
@kyle_sample6 Returning 4 starters from last year and not much depth requires portal guys not HS guys for next year's success. Griz nation requires a better season than last year, so this is the result. It's feeling like a "Meltdown in Missoula".
English
So there’s a picture of Vigen in a Big Sky classroom making a scholarship offer to the Eagles QB
There’s a Big Sky defender tagging Montana State coaches in video post of him being an animal in the weight room
This is happening in Missoula. No Griz coaches making offers, pictured, mentioned or tagged
WHERE THE FUCK IS BOBBY HAUCK!?!?
English
@OptaAnalystFCS I'm hoping your number 3 team can stay in the top 10 this year. It is doubtful only returning 4 total starters on the team and not having depth behind those that left. An unfavorable schedule compared to last year. Fan base is in meltdown and university president is out.

Conference-by-conference outlook of the 2026 FCS season.

@ASchmidtacular Why would any HS kid want to go to UM nowadays, athlete or not. Their fees are higher than MSU for instate kids, less academic scholarships and offers less opportunities.
English
Don’t worry guys, the other good kid from Missoula Big Sky is tweeting out news clips of his wrestling season and tagging coaches from the Cats, Wazzu, and Michigan. The local university notably absent 🧐.
English
@ASchmidtacular The Griz will offer him. They are busy finding transfers that will have an immediate impact next year. Replacing all but 4 starters in the portal can't be easy. Griz recruiting is letting the Bobcats do the hard work sniffing out the state talent. Griz will follow them and offer.

@ultramarine1019 @joelthayer911 and? A Jones has shared the backfield with another dominate running back each of his seasons, along with very good running quarterbacks. Gilman gets the
workload of their carries. Nice try.
English
@joelthayer911 You cat fans always brag about having the best O-line in the division so his numbers are the product of an all-league O-line. Gillman has done more with less all while having his carries capped by the coaching staff.
English
Adam Jones has better career numbers than Eli Gillman through their retrospective sophomore seasons. Also, Adam has won a National Championship. Best in the Big Sky. Screw it, best in the country.
Adam Jones@AJonessy
There’s no place like home.

One of these players will be back 👀👀

English
@SamHerderFCS Jones and Coon in the backfield behind an experienced O-Line are going to be just as explosive in 2026 as previous years. WR and TE are most likely going to be even better in 2026. Offense looks to be a couple notches better next year.
English
Montana State standout RB Adam Jones announces his return. He’s a back-to-back 1,000-yard rusher as a freshman and sophomore.
MSU’s elite offensive trio of Lamson-Jones-Dowler are all back next season. #FCS
Adam Jones@AJonessy
There’s no place like home.

@BryantMeredith_ Meredith is awesome in run support. Glad to see him back and a legit shot to be back in Nashville. Thank You
English
@CraigHaley2025 Looks like UT Martin could end up playing Sac State. Heard they have an opening.
English
#FCS Chicago State still has to build a program, let alone a 2026 schedule, but one of its early games in the start-up season is expected to be at UT Martin on Sept. 5.
English
@Robert_K_Martin @s_akem18 @SkylineSportsMT Initial take on graduation and portal loss so far. NAU returns a very experienced quarterback and a very talented number 2. Right on the verge of playoffs last year. Portal hasn't been as hard on their contributors.
UC Davis is in good shape. Lots of QB talent still there.
English
@JustinWich82328 @s_akem18 @SkylineSportsMT That is really hard to determine for a number of reasons. The BSC was weak overall last year. How are other BSC teams doing in the portal. Will transfers fit in the culture. Is there any growth from people who were on last years roster. Who are your replacement coaches.

@AKenkel61 @_redshirtsports This one is as spot on as any I have seen.
English
@takharicarr4 Good idea, but what about us with boys outside the Bozeman area that may have interest? Are you thinking camp or something over duration in the summer.
English
@ASchmidtacular @ObrechtTyrel Well, this is not true. I know Caden is good, but he isn't superman, flying himself around after landing at the airport in Bozeman.
English
@ObrechtTyrel The dowlers didn’t come back with the team I heard? Went straight to visits and they are not even in the portal? Guys entering literally on the plane. A lot of those guys will have no connection to the school or town ever again. It’s pretty rough.
English
Colter, the GFP, and I were just talking about how much college football sucks right now. Even if you achieve success your team is immediately gone. There is no connection and everything is transactional. It’s like rooting for a AA baseball team. Maybe that can be the subject.
Austin Wardlow@MT_Wardlow
@ASchmidtacular I’m hoping we get a talking Schmidt this week. It’s understated how nice it is to hear a real factual perspective of Griz football and where it stands.
