Mick Dennehy was the Offensive Coordinator for the Griz football team in 1995. After playing in '71 and '72 as an All-conference Safety for UM, Dennehy became the OC in 1991, a roll he held for 4 seasons, culminating in the 1995 National Championship. A season later, upon Don Reed's retirement he was promoted to head coach where he spent another 4 seasons including taking the Griz back to the national championship game in 1996. After leaving UM Dennehy was the head man at Utah State for five years before retiring himself.
In 1995 the University of Montana football team made a magical run to its first national championship, beating the Marshall Thundering Herd 22-20 on December 16th for the title. We commemorate this remarkable season 25 years later, through the eyes of the players, coaches and personnel involved in bringing a championship to Missoula Montana.
