I have been as frustrated as everyone else re: Buff's performance last week. This is in no way an indication of my support for or against Coach Hawkins...just food for thought. IMO after listening to his press conference it is apparent that he is a stats guy. For instance it his belief that if his team can make more positive plays than the other team he will win (this is a no brainer). As evidence he mentioned a dropped 3rd down pass and an illegal formation penalty that nullified positive plays. Additionally he mentioned a deflected pass that resulted in an interception. Realistically, if these particular plays did not occur the way they did the outcome may have been different. Now that says nothing about his game day coaching ability eg calling a ****ty lateral running play on 4th and one etc. All I am saying is that had the ball bounced a little differently, CU could have won the game.
I guess all I am trying to say is that Hawkins is more of a stats guy that a game day Xs and Os coach.
Bottom line....Stats guys never end up more than one standard deviation from the mean and that results in no Big XII championship games and no BCS title games.
