Read coached the Griz from 1986-95 and led UM to its first national title in his final game. I'm not really sure how FootballScoop got this story before anyone else, but whatever…

And, as I'm sure you're well aware, a graduate of Sac State.
A beloved figure in Montana--Papa Bear. Ahead of his time with his 5-wide passing offense.
