The Bulldog football program could soon have its 30th head coach, as former Montana State University standout receiver Arie Grey has been recommended for hire by the Butte High selection committee.
The move could be finalized at Monday’s regularly scheduled school board meeting.
Grey is currently at Glacier High School in Kalispell and is a social studies teacher and assistant football coach for the Wolfpack. He was also an assistant football and assistant girls’ track coach at Flathead High School, and had accepted the girls’ track head coaching position at Glacier.
Interviews of the five finalists were conducted Wednesday, and See GREY, Page B6 Butte School Superintendent Chuck Uggetti announced the decision of the selection committee. Names of the committee members were not released. The other four finalists were Ted Richards, Jamie Nelson, Brian Anderson and Tom Peterson. They were thinned from an original group of 24 applicants.
Grey is a 1997 graduate of Powell County High School in Deer Lodge where he was a three-sport athlete. He played in the Class B All-Star game, the Badlands Bowl and the East-West Shrine Football game. Grey went on to Montana State and played football and ran track for the ’Cats. He was captain of both the football and track teams his senior year.
Grey student taught at Butte High in 2002 and was an assistant track and football coach for the Bulldogs. In 2003 Grey took a job under Grady Bennett in Kalispell, and followed Bennett to Glacier last year.
There's a lot of posts in the Butte Rats forum. Grey has his work cut out for him. Dog football is not what it used to be. The gap between Butte and the Billings and Helena schools is large.
