Dude took Northwestern to the Rose Bowl and CU to the Fiesta Bowl. Hard to say a coach who pulls that off is a fraud.Hawk.
Barnett was a fraud.

He had his issues and he wasn't the world's best recruiter, but he wasn't a fraud. Not by a longshot. He had a hell of a lot more success at CU than Hawk has had so far. 49-39 record at CU and 2 losing seasons in 7 years.
I really like Hawk and think he's going to end up being really good for CU, but he's gotta produce results on the field.
Hawk's problems were cuz Barnett did nothing his last couple years recruiting wise. He left a couple good athletes but otherwise the cupboard was empty
Agreed. There wasn't much left when Hawk took over. But that only underscores the point, IMO. There wasn't much here when Barnett was around, either. Yet he managed to go 8-5 and 7-5 in his last 2 seasons.Hawk's problems were cuz Barnett did nothing his last couple years recruiting wise.

He won the Big 10 with North-freaking-western two years in a row. He took CU to the Big 12 CCG 4 out of his last 5 years.That was the first indication that the big 10 wasn't what it seemed. And it was a down year in the big 10. And Northwestern had a favorable schedule.
I dunno, you tell me. Did daddy buy you a ticket?Hey Buffarino, how was the luncheon:smile2: I think Hawk is a good man and a man of integrity. I wouldn't want anyone else to be the coach of the Buffs. Now with that said let's see some results. Mac seems to like him and with my limited knowledge Hawk reminds me a lot of Mac. Go Buffs

I have heard many negative things from several different former players about Barnett.
I'm very glad Barnett is not the coach now.
barnett seemed to be better at getting the maximum effort out of another coach's players.

Yes, I know. You hate Barnett. Tell us again how much you hate him because of some perceived slight to a family member 20 years ago...
