Montana coach freezes out student paper

Moving from Montana to Wyoming didn't do much for Joe Glenn's career.

 

And Chris Jones shows up!

 

I think you forgot the blue font, Six Toe! College newspapers have run afoul of athletic directors, coaches, etc. for quite a while.

Seriously, kudos to the kids at the Kaimin for standing up to this coach. The guy thinks he can intimidate everyone from reporting the facts on some bad apples he has on his team, so he singles out the student newspaper.

I give the student journos credit for sticking with it. Keep doing your job covering the team, and if they don't cooperate, well, there's probably more skeletons to be found regarding the Grizzly football program.

 

Our man Jones, teaching college kids how to be reporters and not take shit from douchebag coaches.
Nice!

 

Go Jones!

Bobby Hauck is a twit. Gawd, how I hate him. Nobody liked dealing with his ass when I was in Montana.

 

Not to quibble, Jeremy, but I'm not sure anything I said was incorrect. The Salish, the Kootenai, and the Pend d'Oreille are all apart of what is commonly referred to now as the Flathead Nation, and they "live" on the Flathead Indian Reservation. Saying "Flathead Nation" is like saying "Crow Nation." It refers to unified people, not a geographical area.

I'm a Missoula boy, btw.

 

I agree with the above suggestions. Have a great time with FOI requests. Salary information for everyone associated with the football program, cell phone records, camp income....get creative, try everything, never stop.

The relationship with the coach can't get worse. So milk it for all it's worth.

 

Also, kudos to the reporter who followed up the coach's no comment by asking the exact same question and getting an answer. I hope they do that for every single question that the students ask from here on forward.

 

Put on the real pressure and ask him who is slimier -- he or his mentor Neuheisel.

Then when he gets done scowling and says "Next question," follow up with "Is your arrogance the reason why you keep getting passed over for every major-college job you put out feelers for?"

When he gets done throwing F-bombs, then ask if he would like to discuss the rumors floating around about his personal life.

 

This coach picked the wrong battle. He will get his nuts crushed if he continues it.

 

I'd like to see the "scathing article" the student paper wrote about the alleged assualts and the football team.
Not justifying the coach or his actions, but in my experience with student papers and "reporters" their stories are more often than not long on opinion and short on facts.
They are seldom positive opinions.

 

This is absolutely shameful at a public university. Shameful. What a Mickey Mouse operation.
