I can't believe they hired his ass in the first place, dude is a fake. He might be the worst coach of all time, he had that lost look on his face in the game I watched. Damn that was familiar.

Guess getting a few things cleaned up was harder than he thought. Obviously forgot to get his horns out,......... 5 games, 5 freakin games and he's gone, makes us look BRILLIANT !
We kept his ass for 5 seasons? Umm why? Only Hawk could **** up that Kansas game.

Hawk is a goober. That being said, Boise football is a lot like Gonzaga basketball (I've used this analogy in the past) in the sense that the program is going to be good regardless of who runs it. Hawkins thought he could re-create that here, and probably thought the same thing about the Alouettes, even though he stepped into what was a fairly cushy situation from what I know. Dude needs to go back to broadcasting games on ESPNU and stay there.

beware the habu
Even the boomer faithful are having fun with this one.
hawkins gets the last laugh again-- he's getting paid for not working. again. and, for being one of the biggest frauds ever to disgrace the sidelines of a major football program.
i'm just glad he got exposed quickly. THIS time, i mean it: he'll never coach major ball as a hc again. ... not even canadian football, which one can argue whether it counts as "major."

fify.
Dan Hawkins. In his eyes he is the best football coach in the world.
Bohn got a pass for the initial hire. Hawkins was fired in Montreal, in part, because of his flippant "holier than thou" smugness. That same characteristic came through immediately when he came to Boulder. This is who he is and always was. Did Bohn not vet this guy enough?

Except they hired him after he had failed miserably here. Well, miserably by any standard not including Water Bottle.
:rofl: :rofl:
hawkins out-frenched the frenchies on arrogance/smugness/aloofness ???
i love that.
fify. I didn't call him coach bandido for nothing....
I personally don't understand the hatred for this man. I understand he was a little arrogant. I understand that he didn't do well at CU. I understand that he was here a year or two too long (not his fault). I understand that some of his decisions were controversial and hurt CU.
What I don't understand is everyone rooting for him to fail in life after CU. I wish the man had done better by CU too. I was very happy that Bohn finally fired him so we could move on but I have no problem with him succeeding at whatever else he tries to do in life. I certainly don't root for the guy to continually fail. I know if Hawkins did succeed in Montreal, I would have wondered why couldn't he have done that at CU but I wouldn't have been mad at him.
Don't get me wrong, I am not judging anyone here. This is America (dammit) and everyone is entitled to their opinions. I just don't understand, why so much hatred?

I can't speak for everyone else, but I do not hate Dan Hawkins. I mock Dan Hawkins. When one dwells at the intersection of arrogance and ignorance, it is easy to see how one can be the object of disdain. It has been said before but ridicule is reserved for the ridiculous. Dan Hawkins was a ridiculous coach while at CU. I don't wish him ill, but at the same time I am in no way surprised when he fouls his own mess kit, all the while proclaiming his expertise.

Did you see where his team lead 24-0 in the first half and lost the game...see any similarities?

I don't hate him nor do I wish him failure but on the other hand I do not wish him luck either. I believe he damaged CU football by serving his own self interest instead of doing what was best for the team.
No surprise here. If he's hired again for any HC job then I will be surprised

Oddly enough, the first sign of trouble for Dan in Montreal was how he contacted their 1st round draft pick...
