Podcast: Head Coach Dan Hawkins Talks With 1510 The Score
Go to the podcast section in the middle of the page to listen to Hawkins talk about:
-The Pac-10 switch
-Recruiting the Pac-10
-CU Buffs quarterback competition (talked mostly about Hirschman, didn't really touch the other two quarterbacks)
-Discomfort of coaching against Big 12 opponents next year
-The learning curve against new Pac-10 opponents (Shapiro couldn't quite get that question out right)
-Future scheduling (Hawkins said Pac-10 in 2011 with 9 conference games so you lose a preseason non-conference game)
-Coach Hawkins on the hot seat (Hawk said better to be on the hot seat than no seat at all, easy to sit on sidelines, been on the hot seat since he started coaching football. Uneasy time for a lot of people, even referenced the economy and the oil spill)
-Thoughts on the Pac-10 overall
-On the potential of baseball coming to CU and that helping football recruiting
-Boise State move to the Mountain West Conference
-Is the Pac-12 going to divide into two divisions (nothing has been officially decided or set in stone)
-Talk about the running back spot, depth and is Rodney Stewart capable of caring the load (Lockridge is available, still gaining experience. Bringing in four freshman, one or two will see playing time. Corey Nabors becomes the utility guy)
-What is your team's identity for this season? (Hard to tell at this point in the season)

"It's easy to sit on the sidelines" - hawk
Actually dan, it’s not easy for any of us on the sidelines because you are without a doubt, the worst head coach of any team in a bcs conference. I won’t comment on the coaches in the mid majors because I’m not familiar with all of them, but hawk, you are horribly incompetent and an absolute embarrassment to the university. The next time you own up to your mistakes and admit how poorly you’ve done your job…..will be the FIRST TIME. How about an interview where you admit that you’ve trashed this program almost beyond repair?

won’t do you much good unless you see this immediately though…
What did he say?
Anything good?

not really
drew goodman actually kind of ignored him. Normal stuff, shannon sharpe should be good, burks and higgins are good, didn’t really have much to say about moving to the pac-10. Mentioned we play CSU and Oregon State at home and at Harvard (and I think at San Fransisco). No mention of the Las Vegas things Bob posted, he probably didn’t even know yet :-)
All future references to Dan Hawkins should read "Dan a/k/a 'Dead Man Walking' Hawkins"
Doesn’t someone or some group of someones in CU-land have enough money to pay this guy off and put him out of our collective misery??? PLEASE!!!
Kiszla called him “dead Buff walking,” but he’s not a Buff. He’s a sorry space cadet/moonbeam excuse for a coach. http://www.denverpost.com/kiszla/ci_15314215
A bit more perspective ...
… so y’all won’t think I’m being too rough on Dan a/k/a “Dead Man Walking” Hawkins:
I was at the Georgia Bulldogs-Boise State game in Athens, GA, in 2005. I saw Dead Man Walking crying on the sidelines as his BSU crew got demolished by the Dawgs. I was SO SAD when CU hired him just three months later. A shell-shocked cry-baby coaching my alma mater? Now the rest of you understand….
For a few recaps about that 2005 Smackdown at UGa, see:

Those articles with quotes from Hawkins are telling.
Everyone thinks his vague answers and adversarial response to the press is a new thing since he got to CU, but there he is with the exact same kinds of answers in those articles.
If nothing else, the guy’s consistent.
Agree
If I hear anymore phrases that include “a little bit” I will be pissed. As in “we need to tighten some things up a little bit” or “we need to stop the mistakes a little bit” etc. How does this sound: “Hawk needs to learn how to coach a little bit.”

From the "I am the 12th Man" A&M site that ranks Big12 offenses for this year
“12.Colorado: Do I even need to explain this? Dan Hawkins. Enough said.”
