GoGriz

And Weber St just hired a head coach....Hill out of Utah program....so that was the one place I thought may snatch up Pflugrad before someone else could. Now he is definitely available. I'm jealous.

Oh yes free legal counsel....also blown way out of proportion.....the university utilized the services of a local law firm to deal with many happenings at the University. These included both athletes and non-athletes. In the case of the kids who went to jail and got bailed out by grandpa, this same firm then got all charges dropped because the cops wrongfully tazered one of them for supposedly resisting arrest. What the cops didn't realize is that students caught the incident on their camera phones and came forward as witnesses saying the tazer was obsessive. The cops got scared and dropped any-all charges. Again, NCAA didn't like that legal counsel was provided for these two players who were part of their investigation. The Griz had to vacate all wins where either of those players participated. One of them now plays for the St Louis Rams, Trumaine Johnson. Again, pflugrad inherited this !@#$ show and was trying to take steps to fix it. When this all comes out I think there are going to be some very nervous people....our president being number one on that list.

You guys keep saying Pflugrad comes with baggage and that it will be brought into the decision. Man, if what he went through is considered baggage, then we are all screwed as our own baggage far outweighs his. First, the guy was wrongfully fired (more on this coming soon....hearing rumors of Dateline letting him and the athletic director tell their side of story) by a President who needed to do anything he could do to save his own ass and the awful ways he himslef mishandled some sexual assault situations on campus. Second, the grandfather of a player bailed out two football players who landed in jail after a party. The NCAA ass-clowns decided that the grandpa was a booster because he spent money on game tickets at one time. Since they considered him a booster, they said his actions were illegal according to NCAA guidelines. Pflugrad didn't self report but I don't know of any others who would have or thought something was illegal in that action. It was a family member bailing his relative out of jail for crying out loud. Finally, he defended our QB Jordan Johnson who was falsely accused of rape by a jealous girl. When he was asked what it was like having JJ back at practice, he said something along the lines of "having a quality young man of Jordy's moral fiber and leadership is a big deal for this team. I'm glad he is back at practice". Well the president didn't like that a bit and like 5 days later him and athletic director got fired. When it all came out in the end, JJ was acquitted (meaning entire jury found him not guilty) and the trial showed what a fraud the girl accuser was. Pflugrad knew JJ since he was a kid and JJ was his number one recruit to MT. Pflugrad was friends with JJs family. He simply defended a friend and paid the price....when he knew the truth and knew JJ was innocent. Like I said, if that is baggage then we are screwed. I would take a guy like that any day. Someone who gives his players the benefit of the doubt and has their back unto proven otherwise. Plus folks don't talk much about the programs pflugrad implemented at Montana to keep his kids out of trouble....sex assault training, social media training, walking kids to class to hold athletes accountable to be students first. I would welcome him back to Griz Nation in one second. If u guys don't hire him, tell him we want him back!

Did I hear Jameer Jackson is leaving UND to drop down and play for a Div II or III school? What is going on there? He's pretty legit if my memory serves me right. Surprised a guy who saw the field a lot and saw the ball a lot would want to drop down.

I can't see him putting in for the UND gig in an effort to force Weber's hand. Actually, just the opposite in my opinion. If he wanted the Weber job, my guess is it would be his hands down. I think he sees something at UND that he likes....maybe support, facilities, personnel, etc. I keep hoping thecGriz will bring him back but I think I'll have to give up on that dream.

I'm a HUGE Griz fan. Pflugrad would be an incredible "get" for you guys. 99.9% of Griz fans would welcome him back in a heartbeat to the U of M. He is an offensive genius and came from the explosive Oregon system. In just his second year at the U of M, he took us to the FCS semis and barely lost to SHSU. He definitely took the fall for a bunch of other shenanigans he inherited at the U. He stood up for the QB stating a guy like Jordan Johnson with high moral fiber and character will always be welcome on my team. Didn't sit well with the president andchecwas fired along with the AD a few days later. I miss him and you'd be lucky to have him
