And I am starting to agree. For anyone who missed it Dave Logan is headed towards his 5th 5A state championship at three different high schools. With his current squad only allowing an average of 4.3 pts per game.......

I have been a fan of logan for a long time but understand the dismissals as a possible head coach given he has never coached at the collegiete level, would be new to recruiting etc etc. I get all of the but I think it can and would work. But regardless what anyone thinks at this point it has to be worth a shot right?
Recruiting) Logan has been involved in more recruiting than we realize just on the other side of the fence. He has nine students currently with outstanding scholarship offers, that is ~40%+ of starters and between '05-'08 40 players have gone on to the next level. which leads to.....
Player Development) One of our big complaints about Hawkins and staff has been the inability to develop the talent on the field. I think Logan's achievement of putting guys into the next level demonstrates successful development. Is it apples to oranges or just apples to smaller apples? We can count on one hand the number of Hawk's players currently at the next level. And of those how many are holdovers from Barnett classes...
College vs High school) Logan had a tremendously successful college and NFL career. This is a guy that understands what it takes to compete at these levels regardless of where he currently coaches. The fact that he is a CU guy is just the feather in his cap as he would likely be someone to embrace the traditions of Colorado football. Additionally, I have to believe his relationships within the broncos organization would be just one more asset he brings to the table. Imagine him bringing in a guy like rod smith in the spring to help with the receivers for an afternoon.
Accountability) From every interview I have heard to first hand accounts this is a guy who is willingly to take responsibility when things go poorly and give praise to his players when good things happen, which in the case of Logan's teams is often the case.
At the end of the day Logan is more than the "FirstBank Guy" and deserves a solid look for the head coaching job at the Buffs and in my opinion well worth the risk at this point.
