If his prediction pans out, and we end up 6-6, I'll freek out if we keep Hawkins. Seriously. I WILL FREEK OUT. This is the worst possible outcome I can imagine - that we have a completely mediocre season and because mediocre is better than Gawd Awful, we keep his worthless ass because it shows we're making "progress".
No way Hawk is kept with 6-6 record. The PAC10 moves helps us there. Bohn wants a fresh start. There are enough coaching rumors out there for me to think he is gone almost regardless of season outcome. I think it would take 8-9 wins to even consider retaining him. No way we win anywhere close to that many games as I am confident DH will start his 5' 8" QB son.
They kept him with a 3-9 record. Why wouldn't they keep him with a 6-6 record? He will have won twice as many games as the previous year. Plus, he wouldn't be able to start his son at QB after this year, right? The justifications for keeping this guy are just too easy to make. None of them have to do with actual performance, though.
Why?14-0, fire Hawk.
Why?
If he goes 14-0 then we'll see how I feel.
If he goes 14-0 it's because he already got fired and he has a heck of a high school team that he is coaching.
What has anyone seen that shows us that Hawk can consistently win games in a BCS level conference? I don't dislike the guy personally, I think he has cleaned up the reputation of the program to a large extent, he has recruited better than people give him credit for and he's actually a pretty good guy who cares about his family and his players. That said he has had four years here and the direction the program is going under his guidance does not give much hope.
I agree that 14-0 or anything close to that is totally ridiculous. That said, if we're playing the hypothetical game anyway, I just don't get how someone would say that they want him fired if his team went undefeated. All we here is the shut up and win stuff over and over again. If he won, great. Right?
Agreed. Although I have played this out in my head many times and I bet if we went 14-0 Hawk would take the "I told you so" route and tell the fans that he knows what he is doing blah blah blah. He loves throwing fans under the bus. I don't want my coach to do that whether we are winning or not. However, I would likely be more accepting of it if we did win 14 games in one season for obvious reasons.
Here's the nightmare scenario: CU is 5-6 heading into Stincoln. We know that Hawk sticks around if he wins the game.
