Before coming to Morningside in 2001 to restart the program, Ryan was an assistant coach at Ottawa (Kan.) University and helped lead the Braves to a pair of NAIA Championship Series appearances.

Prior to coming back to Montana, Hauck was the associate head coach and special teams coordinator at San Diego State University for three seasons. From 2010-2014, Hauck served as head coach and special teams coordinator at UNLV. He led the Rebels to the Heart of Dallas Bowl in 2013, their only winning season since 2000. In his first stint as head coach at Montana from 2003 to 2009, Hauck posted an 80-17 record, helped the Griz win at least a share of the Big Sky Conference title in each of his seven seasons and guided the team to three national championship appearances.
