MICK DELANEY: HEAD FOOTBALL COACHFirst Year at UM (1-0)

Mick Delaney was named the 35th head football coach at The University of Montana in

July of 2012, and he signed a two-year contract. He replaced Robin Pflugrad whose contract

was not renewed after serving as UM’s mentor the previous two seasons (2010 and 2011).

Delaney was an assistant coach at Montana from 2008-11, working with the running

backs and he was also the associate head coach. He had retired briefly before returning to

UM and assuming the position as UM’s head coach.

He was instrumental in the development of running back Chase Reynolds, who rushed

for 4,067 yards and a school-record 52 touchdowns the previous three seasons.

A veteran mentor, Mick began coaching football in 1964. This will be his 28th season of

coaching football at the collegiate level.

Originally from Butte, he came to Montana from Colorado State where he was an assistant

coach for former head coach Sonny Lubick for 15 seasons from 1993-2007.

Former Griz head coach Bobby Hauck hired Delaney in 2008. Pflugrad retained Delaney

as the lone official holdover from Hauck’s staff.

While at CSU, Delaney coached some of the finest running backs in school history,

including five first-team all-conference selections such as Cecil Sapp (2000). Sapp was a

finalist for the Doak Walker Award and set a school rushing record with 1,601 yards in 2002.

Sapp went on to play with the Denver Broncos.

Prior to coaching the Rams, Delaney was the head football coach and athletic director at

Western Montana, Dillon, in 1991 and 92. He served as the athletic director at Montana Tech

in Butte from 1983-85.

Delaney began his coaching career at Butte Central High School (1964-67) as head

wrestling coach and assistant football coach. He also taught English at Central.

Delaney was an assistant football coach under former UM head coach Jack Swarthout

from 1968-69. He was UM’s head wrestling coach at that time as well. He then moved on

to Great Falls High School (1969-76) where he taught English and was the assistant wrestling

and track and field coach. He coached on Lubick’s staff at Montana State from 1979-80.

He earned his B.A. in education at UM-Western (Western Montana College) in 1964.

He is an inaugural inductee into the Western Montana College Sports Hall of Fame and was

honored by the Montana Coaches Association in 1972 as the Wrestling Coach of the Year. In

1974 he was named the Football Coach of the Year by that organization. He also belonged to

many associations during his athletic career including the Montana Coaches Association from

1968-1985.

Mick and his wife Cheri have three children, son Mike, daughters Shauna Basile and

Melissa Ossello, and nine grandchildren.

MISSOULA, MONTANA (9/1/12) – The Universityof Montana Grizzlies’ two senior running backs rushed for morethan 100 yards each, as the 10th/11th-ranked host Grizzliesdefeated the University of South Dakota Coyotes 35-24 in theseason opener for the teams Saturday afternoon in front of 25,156partisan fans in UM’s Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

Dan Moore had career-highs of 27 carries for 148 yardsand a touchdown, while fellow UM senior halfback Peter Nguyenhad 10 totes for 192 yards and a score. The Grizzlies picked up aschool-record 34 first downs in the win.

The Grizzlies (1-0) dominated the Coyotes in total yards(568 to 233) and first downs (34 to 9), but found themselves in aneight point (24-16) deficit mid-way through the third quarter.

Montana led 16-10 at halftime, but the Coyotes, coachedby former (2000-02) Griz mentor Joe Glenn, scored back-to-backtouchdowns in a little more than a minute to take a 24-16 lead at the9:47 mark of the third stanza.

On its first play of the third period quarterback JoshVander Maten hit fellow sophomore Terrance Terry for an 80-yarddowntown bomb, giving USD a 17-16 edge. Just a few plays latersafety Charlie Goro picked off a Trent McKinney pass andreturned it 50 yards for another score to give the visitors the 24-16advantage.

The Grizzlies quickly regained the momentum, thoughwith a bit of trickery, as on the their next series senior tight endGreg Hardy connected with senior wide receiver Bryce Carver fora 39-yard touchdown, and UM cut the USD lead to 24-22 with 7:11left in the third.

Two series after Hardy’s first career pass attempt andsubsequent TD, the Grizzlies scored back-to-back touchdownsthanks to two straight USD turnovers.

The first USD mistake came when junior linebacker JohnKanongata’a picked off a Vander Maten pass and the Griz tookpossession of the ball on the Coyotes’ 34-yard line. Two runs byNguyen picked up 20 yards, and then after that Moore broke freefor a 14-yard scoring jaunt, and Montana led 28-24 with 4:49remaining in the third stanza and would lead the rest of the way.

The Griz added an insurance score when sophomoredefensive end Tonga Takai recovered a Coyote fumble on the USD13-yard line. Three plays later Nguyen scored on a 3-yard run with3:25 left in the third, in what proved to be the final points of thegame.

Montana took an early 10-0 lead on a 21-yard field goalby redshirt freshman kicker Chris Lider and a 4-yard scoring passfrom McKinney to senior wide receiver Sam Gratton. USD thencut the UM lead to 10-3 on a field goal by Kevin Robb with 10:33left in the second quarter.

The Griz took a 16-3 lead on an 18-yard scoring strikefrom McKinney to junior wide receiver Cam Warren (his firstcareer TD) with 6:08 left until intermission. An 8-yard VanderMaten to Terry pass made it 16-10 Grizzlies at the break.

The USD pick for a touchdown was one of the fewmistakes that McKinney, a redshirt freshman in his first start, wouldmake in the contest. The 6-0, 205-pounder from Mililani, Hawaii,was 26-of-32-1 (81.3%) for 214 yards and a pair of touchdowns,and he also rushed 13 times for 65 yards.

Gratton and sophomore wide-out Sean Haynes had agame-high 5 receptions each, while Carver and Nguyen had 4grabs each. Warren had 3 grabs for 41 yards and a score.

The Griz racked up 315 yards rushing on 64 carries; ran98 plays; had a 11-minute (35:57 to 23:03) edge in time of posses-sion, to go along with their single-game record of 34 total firstdowns.

Junior linebacker Jordan Tripp led the Griz with 10tackles, and also had a sack and a forced fumble. Kanongata’aadded 8 stops, while senior linebacker Josh Stuberg added 6tackles. The Grizzly defense held USD to 233 total yards (61rushing) and 9 first downs.
