MISSOULA, Mont., Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Bobby Hauck, the secondary coach at Washington the last four seasons, is the new head coach at Division 1-AA power Montana.
Hauck, 38, was named Friday as the replacement for Joe Glenn, who guided Montana to the Division I-AA national championship in 2001, and left last week to become coach at Wyoming.
Hauck, a native of Missoula, twice lettered in track and field for the Grizzlies, and also was a defensive backs and defensive line coach at the school in 1988 and '89. He also has worked at UCLA, Northern Arizona and Colorado.
Washington plays Purdue in the Sun Bowl and Hauck is expected to coach that game on New Year's Eve.
Montana was 39-6 in three seasons under Glenn. The Grizzlies were 11-3 this year, losing, 24-20, to McNeese State in the quarterfinals.
Hauck takes over a program that has advanced to the I-AA playoffs for 10 straight years, including a national title in 1995.
