In the second hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez sits down with Justin Angle from the University of Montana for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, transition, and the rapidly changing world of college athletics.
They break down the departures of former head football coach Bobby Hauck and university president Seth Bodnar, exploring the ripple effects across campus and within the athletic department. The discussion dives into the evolving business of college football — including NIL, the transfer portal, donor dynamics, media scrutiny, and administrative alignment — and what it all means for the expectations placed on modern head coaches and university leadership.
Plus, Colter catches up with Missoula native and Grizzlies tight end Danny Sirmon to talk about the first week of practice under new head coach Bobby Kennedy and the early energy surrounding the program.
