Solid point. the scary thing is that he probably STILL has more worth per word in his posts than you do. :wow:
Debatable.

I don't believe anything he says, either. But I honestly think he doesn't realize the difference between building a winner and maintaining a winner. At Boise, his players already had the attitude that was borne out of several years of kicking their opponents asses. In Boulder, he inherited a team that was embarassed by Iowa State, Nebraska, Texas, and Clemson in consecutive games. Their psyches were as fragile as could be. Instead of saying 'Boys, we're going to kick ass and here's how we're going to do it', he said "don't worry about winning, worry about being a winner". WTF is that supposed to mean to a 19-year old kid? It's pure crap, and he's been trying to sell it for four years now. He needs to address his team's shortcomings, acknowledge them, and put together a plan that is easy for these kids to grasp, and implement it. He has no plan, though. He's all about "working on the little things", and "getting your horns out". There's a complete disconnect between what he needs to do and what he is doing. He'll be a failure at CU until he figures that out, and he's never going to figure it out.
When Hawk was at Boise, he didn't have to worry about winning. He had to worry about keeping his players in the right frame of mind. When he came to CU, he thought that if he could get his players in the right frame of mind, they would automatically start to win. That's flawed. The winning comes first. Hawk will continue to fail here until he realizes that his first job is to win, not to get the attitude right. The attitude will come once they start winning.
Nah, Hawk's biggest problem is that he has no clue in how to build a program at the BCS level..
That's pretty much what I'm saying.
Hi Guys,
First time poster. I'm a 2003 Alum living in Austin and have to listen to Rod Babers and Ahmad Brooks clown on the buffs during their am sports show. -- I think they are just bitter because they were on the 2001 Longhorn team that we whooped up on in the Big XII championship game. I was on the 5yr plan at CU and during my stint I saw 1 season with Slick Rick and the rest with Barnett. I miss the fire and passion that those teams had. I remember seeing linemen pucking their guts out in Bach Fieldhouse during the offseason when we would work out in the mornings for ROTC and how everybody was rowdy and really into it. I wish we had 5 or 6 Tyler Braytons on the team right now! I'm not a Hawkins fan and hope we can get a new coach at the end of this season. With that said, who do you guys think we could get for the 900k-1.2mil price range that CU will probably offer that can turn around CU? I don't think our cheap admin is going to shell out much more dough than this unfortunately. Who is currently available/will be for that price range that could turn the program around? I agree with posters on this thread who think that some coaches are better at turning around a program than others. - Sorry if this post comes up twice, I tried it the first time and it didn't work.
Hawkins has as much credibility as BP.
I just think that Hawk doesn't understand how these things work. He honestly believes that if he gets the players attitudes in the right place, that they'll automatically start winning as the result. Unfortunately, he's putting the cart before the horse. His primary focus should be on winning games. It's obvious that winning games is not his primary focus.
Hawkins has as much credibility as BP.
:lol: I know of one player on the team with that temperament. You are the devil, but, I too, would like to see something like that go down...:smile2:I wish there was someone like Tyler Brayton on the team. Remember the Chris Naeole - Rick Neuheisel incident? I would like to see a Brayton - Hawkins incident just like Naeole - Neuheisel. That would make my day. Yes, I know I'm the :devil:

Givens.

It's been falling since the spill.BP's stock is rising...cannot say the same for Danny's. His is being sucked down the sewer....
Nah, Hawk's biggest problem is that he has no clue
