Well if the money is there then why worry about saving the buyout cost, Dan do not let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.

Re: Hawk's PR war begins...
It has been stated on numerous sites that Hawkins has weekly meetings with Distephano (separately from Bohn).
They have done this every week of the season.

Re: Excuses versus the facts...
I think you misunderstand my name calling. I am just joking when I do that. But I've stopped because I realized that it was taken the wrong way. Sorry if I offended you in the past. I'm not like that. I think there have been a few times where I actually did get angry and lashed out and I apologize for that as well. This season has brought out the worst in many of us, I'm afraid. But the whole "dickwad" and "douchbag" thing almost always was done jokingly as if kidding around with your friends. I got caught up in thinking us Allbuffers were just a bunch of buddies joking around on the internet and that got me in trouble.

Re: Breaking News In Boulder
I wonder if by saying "I will be back next year" Hawk meant he will be back in another capacity. It may be that the deal is that Hawk gets paid off on his contract but steps down as HC. Instead he moves to a job in "Athletic program development" or some similar title. In other words fundraising and administration. This would allow him to save face by being "promoted" not "fired" since everyone knows that a resignation is a form of being fired. It also allows the administration to put a different face on it since they are not paying another former coach for not working.
I have no evidence what-so-ever for this idea. It is just a thought but it might fit with Hawk's thinking and serve the needs of the administration as well.

If he is staying
then screw it, I will get behind him, because I want him to succeede. He has done a very good job of cleaning up Barnett's mess so if keeping him for one more try is his reward then I will root for Hawk to turn this thing around. My loyalty is to the program and if Hawkins is the leader of that program next year then I will be loyal to him, until he goes for it back in his own 20 on 4th and forever.

Re: If he is staying
Relax. You don't need to go there. Enjoy your Thanksgiving. We'll soon have a new coach to get excited about.

Re: If he is staying
If he is here another year, I'm just going to be very disappointed that Bohn is buying into all the feel sorry for us crap that everyone is spewing. Any other respectable football team with our tradition would fire a guy with his record.

Yeah. That way Hawk can spend his time on the "little things" while someone more capable can worry about those "big things" you know, like coaching, training, and WINNING!

I am not convinced that we will have a new coach and if we are not going to go out and get a top notch guy then why bother dumping hard earned money anyhow.

Re: Hawk's PR war begins...
Again, what do you expect these people to do or say? If the decision has been made (there is no if) and it is going to be announced after the Nebraska game, what do you think Hawk is going to say: "Yeah, Vic I met with all the assistants tonight and told them I would be fired but you can't announce that until our press conference on Sunday."
Or Bohn is going to say "You bet, we canned his ass but we aren't announcing it until after the season."

Re: Breaking News In Boulder
It is now on footballcoachscoop.com that Hawk is returning.
Colorado:
FootballCoachScoop has BREAKING NEWS and the FIRST TO REPORT that Head Coach Dan Hawkins has been given one more year in a deal with
Athletic Director Mike Bohn and the University, according to our source. We have been told to expect some changes with the current staff though. Also, our
source confirmed that in talking with future head coaching prospects Athletic Director Mike Bohn could not get who he really wanted for the future.
FootballCoachScoop sources also tell us that DiStefano and Bohn will meet one more time, in regards to Coach Hawkins, after the Nebraska game to
confirm this is the absolute direction.

Of course it is. It has been posted here, so it was only a matter of time... :lol:

Re: Hawk's PR war begins...
He could say what he said at his last presser: "We're excited to play NU". That is what all coaches under fire say. They don't address the issue. Pretty simple really. IF, and I ahve no way of knowing, Hawk is putting the "I'll be here next year" stuff out, that is very shabby.

Re: Hawk's PR war begins...
CNBC reported that the biggest buyouts reportedly paid have been:
Denny Crum, Louisville, $7 million
Phillip Fulmer, Tennessee, $6 million
Tommy Tuberville, Auburn, $5.1 million
Dennis Franchione, Texas A&M, $4.4 million
Tommy Bowden, Clemson, $3.5 million
Bill Callahan, Nebraska, $3.1 million
Dan Hawkins, Colorado, $3 million
That Louisville-crum payout must have really hurt, when was that 1984?

Re: Breaking News In Boulder
:lol: that website is hilarious. Does it really count if you report every possible outcome that you were the first site to report it? I can just see it once Hawk is fired and they make 5 posts a day about every single coach that we could possibly get.

Re: Excuses versus the facts...
Fwiw I agree with DBT's point that given the players Hawk has brought into the program the team should be performing much better and that is which is why Hawk needs to go. I also think that because we do have talent in the program the turn around in team performance for the next HC, provided he's a descent coach, will be very quick.
