:dbt:
I know several fine realtors in town that would help him get his house sold. I'm more than willing to provide a list of reputable folks who specialize in relocations.
With DBT's donated Pleather Furniture, he can sell it furnished, too!
The guy will find work someplace else. Even complete douchebags like Callahan find work someplace else. Let him go coach intramurals somewhere. He's good at that.
I will shed a tear for him, sort of. He is a good man. He came to CU to make the program great. I have never seen him make the program about him (unlike Slick and GB) he's always focused on the program (like Mac). He did many good things for the program and the university (cleaning up the culture, improving recruiting, academic performance). Unfortunately, he's just not that good of a football coach.
I hate to see good people fail and solipsistic assholes succeed (like Slick, Jaba - until now, and others) so this deal with Hawk feels really unjust. But, it is what it is. Life is not fair. It's time for him, and us, to learn what we can from this debacle and move on.
:nod:
... he can take Cody and ...
No. Reality check. Cody will be a senior next year. He has a commitment for a scholarship. He has done what was asked of him, expect him to be on the team and to graduate from CU.
Awkward as heck, but as far as character-building, I'm sure Cody has learned a lot from the rock-and-hard-place he's been living in the last few years.
I won't feel bad for abou 3 million reasons.
I won't shed a tear.
Though many people refer to Squawk as "such a nice guy..." I disagree.
I think he's a weasel. A slimy, lying, OVER-arrogant, scumbucket. He is an act.
And I think, if given the chance to speak after he gets axed, his true colors will shine, shine, shine... Wait and see.
We're talking about Hawkins, not Weis. :smile2:
hope you are wrong man. Program doesn't need any more **** flung at it this year.Yes, I know. Wait and see, wait and see.

Friday is the right day to make the move, when you have 15 days between games to let the walls fall down, and then let the dust settle. Doing it today, with a short week could be a mess.
But at the same time, perhaps you give him until Saturday following Nebraska. Who knows.

Rep for expanding my vocabulary. I agree, Hawkins is well-intentioned, unlike many coaching cockalorums.
:yeahthat:This is the right time to move to a new coach. I have no doubt about that.
But here's how I'll probably end up looking at Hawkins:
A very honorable, upstanding man who cared deeply about the program and gave his all to do a good job for us. He successfully upgraded the talent in the program, improved our depth, balanced out our classes better, and brought in some high quality young men to our program who are easy to cheer for.
But much like in the NFL when the coach who had to deal with a rookie quarterback during the learning years often gets fired and his replacement has all the success, Hawkins was charged with re-inventing a culture and rebuilding a program and it will be the next guy that enjoys the fruits of that labor. And it needs to be the next guy, because despite all the things I like about Dan Hawkins, it's pretty clear that winning at a top tier BCS program is simply above his level.
