Is if the buffs somehow miraculously pull of 7 or 8+ wins. With all the negativity towards Hawkins, I bet more people will be pissed than happy.

I will be happy with 8+ wins. I will be pissed with 6 or 7 because it will probably be just good enough to keep Hakwins around. Hell, the way the administration has decided wins don't matter, a 4-5 win season with some close losses might be enough.

i will say Dan was great at the kids camp this AM....he's great at that part of the job.
I'll be quite happy if the team wins 7+. But I've seen enough of Hawk. I am not convinced he can do it at this level. The more the team becomes his (i.e. most of the players are "his guys"), the more the team loses. 2-10, 6-7, 5-7, 3-9, the trend is pretty obvious. I'll be excited when CU has some new blood at the helm. Having said that, I don't believe there is much chance CU puts up 7+ wins this year. I'd love to be proven wrong, but realistically, I don't see it given this staff and how they "prepare" the team to play.
I agree with your post, however if CU didn't fire Hawk last year, I don't think they will. So, I will just sit back and watch crappy football with low expectations. Go to a bowl and a smile on my face!
not me. i just don't think he's a very good coach and his staff isn't BCS caliber. i think there are some positives with DH but on the field success has not been one of them thus far. if he wins 7 or 8 with a top 30 recruiting class, i'd be happy to load up for next year and admit i was wrong to a degree (because i think 6 is the top end for wins this season). For Dan to really refute his critics including myself, we need to see it at least 2-3 years in a row.

Some folks said that Chuck Fairbanks was an OK guy, too. He still sucked as a football coach.
You are all setting yourself up again.
This happens almost every year.
CU fans have expectations which do not at all meet reality. When the season ended, few people would have predicted the Buffs to win 7 games, let alone 8 games, in 2010. Yet here we are, June 2, and some people are talking about the Buffs winning 8 games.
This coach has won ONE (1) game on the road in the past four (4) years, and people are talking about 8 games as though that number is actually somehow possible.
Save yourselves the pain and torture of watching this coaching staff AGAIN produce a sub-stellar product. Enjoy the games for what they are -- GAMES -- and forget about wins and losses. It is just as likely, if not much moreso, that this team will win THREE (3) games in 2010, as they will win eight (8) games.

I hope Hawk proves us all wrong and goes out and kills it and becomes a CU legend

I didn't say I am expecting 8 wins, I don't think anybody else did either
That's a very real possibility, "hey we are moving in the right direction, and we just need to fix some little things". Awesome!I will be happy with 8+ wins. I will be pissed with 6 or 7 because it will probably be just good enough to keep Hakwins around. Hell, the way the administration has decided wins don't matter, a 4-5 win season with some close losses might be enough.
I want him gone regardless. If he wins 8 games next year it is a fluke. The past four years are what to expect from Hawk.
