On the second hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez sits down with University of Montana Athletic Director Kent Haslam to unpack a whirlwind week in Missoula. Haslam breaks down Bobby Hauck’s brief retirement and rapid move to defensive coordinator at the University of Illinois, the decision to elevate Bobby Kennedy as the next head coach of Montana Grizzlies football, how Kennedy will be evaluated moving forward, and what truly changes during a leadership transition—from locker-room culture to on-field philosophy and beyond.
The conversation also covers the hire of Montana women’s soccer head coach Stuart Gore and what the addition means for the future of the program, along with Haslam’s perspective on North Dakota State’s move up to the Mountain West Conference and his take on the upcoming Griz Cat matchups on the hardwood here in Missoula
