UCLA'S TIM HAUCK HIRED BY TENNESSEE TITANS
Tim Hauck, who coached the Bruin safeties in 2008, is leaving UCLA to join the staff of the NFL's Tennessee Titans as assistant secondary coach, it was announced today.
"This is a great opportunity for Tim and his family," said UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel. "He did a great job for us this past season and we certainly wish him well with the Titans."
Neuheisel said that the search for a new secondary coach will begin immediately.
In 2008, UCLA ranked second in the Pac-10 in pass defense and Hauck was a key figure in the development of freshman Rahim Moore, who started all 12 games.
Prior to arriving at UCLA, Hauck spent four years on the staff at the University of Montana, his alma mater. During that span, Montana compiled a record of 43-10, making the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs all four years, including the title game in 2004.
Hauck, 42, played safety in the National Football League for 13 seasons, retiring in 2002. He originally signed with the New England Patriots as a free agent in 1990 and played for Green Bay, Seattle, Denver, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and San Francisco.
A safety for the Grizzlies, Hauck earned first-team All-America honors in both 1988 and 1989. He was voted the Big Sky Conference's defensive MVP as a junior and a senior and he also was voted the recipient of Montana's Steve Carlson Award (MVP) those two seasons. He is the only player in school history to receive the Golden Helmet Award ("Hardest Hitter") three times, winning it in 1987, 1988, and 1989. He earned his degree in Business Education in 1990.
Hauck is ranked third in Montana history with 305 career tackles in just three seasons at Montana. He's third in school history with 15 career interceptions. He began his college career at Pacific University in Oregon and was an all-conference pick there as a freshman.
Hauck (pronounced: Howk) prepped at Sweet Grass High School in Big Timber, MT and was an all-state quarterback and defensive back, playing for his dad, Bob Hauck Sr. His brother, Bobby Hauck, is the head coach at Montana. Bobby worked on Neuheisel's staff at both Colorado and Washington and was a graduate assistant at UCLA while Neuheisel was an assistant coach.
Tim Hauck is a native of Butte, MT and was born on December 20, 1966.
Hauck to the Titans
Any chance for mindblower?
Spill the beans Dohnster!!!
Is it safe to assume that Carnell Lake will coach all DB's now instead of just CB's?
I hope we hire someone else. All DB's getting coached by a 1st year guy is a bit scary.
Congratulations to Tim. Always good to see our staff getting recognized and promoted.
i do not see lake coaching the secondary all alone in his first year of coaching...RN will bring someone in
*Cough*Cough*
