Like I said, I'm not a Bohn fan. He reminds me of the slick talker at work that works his way to the top. You know that guy? Right? There is one in every organization. Go Buffs!

That's another thing that worries me. Is Bohn really trusted to make any decisions? After DiStephano pretty much neutered him last season, how does Bohn retain any credibility? I thought they really handled things poorly during that time.
This might work out for the best in the end. I'm guessing the powers that be knew the Buffs were moving to the PAC last fall when Bohn wanted to fire Hawkins, and that's part of what made them ask him for restraint. I think the Buffs have a brighter future heading inot the PAC, and are in position to make a better hire than they would have been last November.
Even though this is pure torture now.
Uhh, what? Football doesn't "carry the big stick"? I guess we had better hope Tad Boyle can work miracles.I'd guess that most ADs do not have carte blanche. We ain't the good ole' boys where football carries the big stick.

I thought this had been all worked out with the Pac10 move. Why would we waste our time and effort moving to another conference if we weren't going to commit to our ADept?I think he means from an overall university perspective, not just within the athletic department.
Hawkins was one of the hot comodities in the coaching market when he was hired. Come on. There would be a ton of hypocrites out there if they started blaming Bohn for hiring Hawkins. The extension is a bit more easy to go after him on. But even the extension was understandable at the time. BTW, I'm not a big Bohn fan. I think he's way too rah rah and not enough substance. Kind of like Hawk. :smile2:

Bummer. I think Mac would make a perfect AD. I really do. He may not be a fit in Boulder though.I was at an event on campus for my youngest daughter last year and Bohn was the keynote speaker. He was ill-prepared, nervous and must have said "awesome" 20 times in 10 minutes. Probably one of the most unimpressive speeches I've heard at any level. I'm not saying he's a complete incompetent, but I've looked at him differently ever since.
Well said. Succinct and to the point.bleh
really? i don't remember a single boise state fan being upset about it. i remember a lot of them saying that we hired the wrong coach and they would be even better without hawkins. i thought it was sour grapes at first, but they were rightI remember the BSU fans being upset when Hawk left. I guess I was the only one looking closely. :smile2:
Yes. They were pissed off because Hawkins said how much he loved Boise, and how he had no reason to leave. He said he and his wife were happy there. When Hawk bailed they flipped. You know. The whole traitor bit.really? i don't remember a single boise state fan being upset about it. i remember a lot of them saying that we hired the wrong coach and they would be even better without hawkins. i thought it was sour grapes at first, but they were right
I've heard this argument several times and I have to admit, I don't understand it. Why would potentially moving to the Pac have any bearing on whether or not we fire a bad coach? Wouldn't we rather not go into a new conference with a brand new coach and the growing pains that will bring? I'd rather have a coach with at least a year under his belt and some enthusiasm behind the program.
Look, instead of talking about how excited we are to be in the Pac 10, the entire fanbase is now back to the Fire Hawk discussion we've been having for 3 years.
I think politics played into the decision to keep Hawk after last season, but I'm not sure the Pac move had anything to do with it.
I think it has to do with two things. One, we might attract a bette coach if we belong to the Pac 12 instead of the B12. Two, the coach will want to build a staf that focuses on recruiting in the power are for CU, which was Cali, but now for sure needs a staff that can recruit lights out in Cali.
Wonder how much longer Bohn stands for this ****. If my boss was forcing me to do something that made he look completely incompetent in front of the whole NCAA football world... well, I might just walk.
Despite what we all say and know, Bohn looks like a real ****ty AD these days.
