Montana's Gregorak elevated to defensive coordinator
NCAA Football Betting Lines
02/11/2012 - Missoula, MT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - University of Montana assistant football coach Ty Gregorak was promoted to defensive coordinator, Grizzlies third-year head coach Robin Pflugrad announced Saturday.
Gregorak, 33, rejoined the Montana program last spring and spent his eighth season coaching the linebackers while the Grizzlies advanced to the FCS semifinals.
He spent one year away from Montana in 2010 to coach at Central Washington.
"I think Ty brings a lot of experience to our program, both on the field, and in Missoula and the state of Montana," Pflugrad said. "He has done an outstanding job for us in recruiting during his time here, including eastern Washington and western Montana, and I had him over in Seattle this past season. He brings a lot of experience to the table for someone his age, and I think that's what is important when you elevate an employee.
"I have the utmost faith in him that he will get the job done as our defensive coordinator. We lost a very experienced coordinator in Mike Breske (who left Monrana to become the defensive coordinator at Washington State). As we went out and searched, a lot of our focus just kept coming back to Coach Gregorak. That's a compliment to him and the job he has done here at Montana for eight of the past nine seasons."
In his eight years at Montana, Gregorak has coached 15 All-Big Sky Conference players. Last season, Grizzlies senior linebacker Caleb McSurdy was the Big Sky's defensive player of the year.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
