I want to preface this post/thread by saying that I honestly believe that Hawkins genuinely cares about the CU football program and has given 100% in all aspects of his job. Conversely, I believe that Fairbanks didn't care about any aspect of his job and was just milking it for the time he was here.
But the preface makes it worse in a way...
Chuck Fairbanks, while worrying about whether CU had ponied up for a new pair of shoes to wear for the game, was 7-26 as the CU football coach (26.8%).
Dan Hawkins, while busting his ass and giving it all he's got as the CU football coach, has won 5 out of his last 20 games as the CU football coach (25.0%).
It's amazing that anyone can perform that badly with the resources and tradition at CU while actually trying.
