I am here not to bury Donovan

On Nov. 25, 1985 a youngish reporter, in his Monday duties writing about Griz football for the Montana Kaimin student newspaper, traipsed into Larry Donovan’s office.

There, he began a question to UM’s head coach that dragged on a bit. It hit the low points (last in total defense in Division I-AA for a second straight year) and a high point (but you just beat Northern Arizona) and more low points (six league wins the last three seasons, none against the Bobcats) and another high point (Washington-Grizzly Stadium is really taking shape!). 

Finally, he closed: “So given all that, are you worried about your job?”
