Dan Hawkins Weekly Press Conference


courtesy of cubuffs.com

You can fast forward to minute 13 where he starts reading emails from parents of recruits, former players, etc. That will probably get the most talk. A lot of talk on the program, not a lot of talk on Kansas State or Missouri. A lot of coach Hawkins explaining himself and where they are in the program and why they do the things they do.

Tough to watch in a lot aspects.

That was

embarrassing. This isn’t Boulder High school Dan…stop reading emails at press conferences to save your job.

how dare you disrespect Boulder High and it's powerhouse football program! :-)

I can’t watch him anymore, it makes me too angry. I read he said Hansen was the starter and would run all aspects of the offense, including “2 minute” offense. Is that true? Nice 180 there, wonder if he was “ordered” to do that.

The "Parent" that wrote the letter

was Missy Hawkins. This guy is such a loser.

Have any of you seen Mack Brown’s press conferences? Granted he takes next to no criticism, but he handles himself so professional compared to Hawk.

Watching the whole thing

man, I’m starting to feel bad for the guy.

Well….almost.

Oh man...

I’m one of the very few that still think Hawk can turn this thing around, but i cant defend that showing. That was pathetic. Your not applying for a job, coach. There is no need to show the media and the fans letters of recommendation. I feel like if you told “go play intramural” hawk that in 3 years he will be reading motivational letters to the media, he would have kicked his own ass.

One thing that I do totally agree with him about

Is about the fans. I know we may suck, but those who went to the early games have to show up to these rough games to show recruits that this program isn’t giving up through hard times.

Just win baby...

Do the right things every single day, but let’s put the emphasis on winning football games the right way.

What an embarrassment

Dan, grow up. Reading “Yur teh awesumz” emails during a press conference, gimme a break. Maybe you should talk about how you’re gonna fix the fact that your teams can’t win on the road (2-17???) or what message yanking Hansen sent to your team.

Instead, the guy reads emails that stroke him, and puts Hansen on the spot saying “Hey, aren’t I a stand-up guy, Tyler?”

Are you kidding me?

As a former fierce Hawk supporter, it’s become more than obvious to this CU alum that the guy is just completely and totally full of it.

WTF, I mean really, I really have no clue why Hawkins is a D-1 coach still

Hawkins is showing how self serving this guy is, prior to this past weekend I just figured Hawkins was an incompetent coach, now I see he really is more about trying to boost his own ego. Get over yourself, there are plenty of guys who do it the “right” way and win and know how to coach, this ain’t the freaking boy scouts, this is D-I football.

Of course you would want your kid in your program, you have shown you will never pull your kid, no matter what. I am a parent, and I in no way would send my kid to play for this joke of a coach.

I wanted to throw up watching this.

"this ain't the freaking boy scouts, this is D-I football"
