University of Montana football coach, Bobby Hauck ends boycott against UM student reporters

A deafening silence broke on Tuesday afternoon when Griz football coach Bobby Hauck decided to end more than a month’s worth of stonewalling University of Montana student reporters, essentially putting to rest a story that had catapulted the coach into the national spotlight.

Hauck opened his weekly press conference in the Adams Center by saying: "There are some serious things in life and there are some things in life that are not serious. One of the things that is not serious is who is talking to whom … and the why of that.

"So I – because I can only speak for myself – will move forward from this date in a positive manner in terms of this press conference and the ones after our games."

This past month has been a learning experience for everyone at the Kaimin.

When we ran into obstacles covering the Griz football team, we found ourselves navigating unfamiliar territory, deciding how to deal with the challenges we faced in a way that would remain true to our jobs as messengers for the campus community.

We do not regret any of the decisions we made in the process, but we are ready for new stories and new places to direct our energy. We welcome what was more or less the extension of an olive branch from Bobby Hauck yesterday.
