MISSOULA – Montana athletics director Jim O’Day says the school has formed a committee to evaluate candidates to replace Bobby Hauck as football coach.
Hauck, who coached for seven years at Montana, was named the new coach at UNLV on Wednesday afternoon.
UM’s 10-member selection review committee held its first meeting Wednesday afternoon and began evaluating candidates. The committee planned to reconvene Monday.
O’Day says some members of Hauck’s staff will be considered for the head coaching job, or they may be retained by the new head coach.
UM hopes to name a new head coach prior to the National Football Coaches Convention in mid-January.
