When someone has to keep telling you over and over that they are doing things right, they are obviously trying to cover up some sort of deficiencies.
What is it now, 15-28 and counting? That's just the empirical evidence and doesn't even include the rest of the nonsense.
This has nothing to do with hate. I didn't particularly engage with his personality in 2006, but on paper Hawkins looked pretty good. Montana State sent off all kinds of alarms. I tolerated everything until the first 2 games this season. There has been disingenuousness on top of more and more bizzare talk since the beginning of the season. Finally, I don't need to address another specific topic any more than saying this: "Blood is always thicker than water." Don't bother to tell me different. I will not argue this point. It is a cultural constant.
Where do we go from here? I'm looking for a winning football program. It is Colorado's history. In over 100 years of Colorado football and 23 coaches, only 2 have less than a 0.500 winning percentage among those with at least 3 years as coach. (Only 2 others have losing records with less than 3 years.)
If Hawkins has a winning football program that goes to bowl games and contends for and sometimes wins conference championships, I can be happy for the program and ignore his peculiar personality. If he continues to lose football games, I can ignore his peculiar personality, but he should be gone based on the record.
