Morning Constitutional: Bartenders Are Now Useless

Great Info! I’m surprised that Hawkins is keeping the Defensive Coordinator Hankwitz. I thought he would take more guys from Boise State. I would like to know why Mark Helfrich goes from one O-Coord
job to another and goes from one former Boise State Head Coach to Another. Boise State is definitely becoming a great Stepping Stone to the Upper Ranks.
Houston Nutt goes to Arkansas(and could have had Nebraska job).
Dirk Koetter goes to Arizona State.
Dan Hawkins goes to Colorado.
Who will be next?

Good luck Hawkins. This program is in disaray. Four strait losses. Alumni is no help. Student section gets ejected during last home game. Recruting scandal still lurking. Why would Hawkins retain the current D-corrdinator. That was the biggest weekness this season? It is going to take a few years for the buffs to recover. My question is what happend at cu. This was a team that was riding high. What should Hawkins watch out for?

My bad guys – Hawkins isn’t keeping Hankwitz. He hired Bob Gregory, Cal’s defensive coordinator and a former Boise State assistant. Apparently, it was on the DL, so I didn’t hear about it. Sorry about that.

I agree, SantaFeRob, Boise State has been a great place for coaches and assistants to move onto bigger and better things. For Boise State’s sake, hopefully they can find a way to change it from a springboard to bigger and better to a place where coaches want to stay.

And it will take the Buffs at least 2 years to recover. Yesterday they had their 4th de-commit of the recruiting season. This recruiting season will be just awful – and it won’t be Hawkins’ fault — like you mentioned CU lost their last 4, including a 100-6 pair against Nebraska and Texas and it looks like the student section is going to get broken into chunks next year. I think most recruits are shying away from CU because they lost their last 4, not because of the years-old recruiting scandal.

Hawkins is going to have to work hard and fast with his new coaches and the remaining players/walk-ons from last year. If he can turn the team around and get them believing in his program, he might be able to recruit next year and hopefully pull CU out of its middle-of-the-road slump it’s been in over the last few years.

Now Bob Gregory makes sense. He’s going to be very familiar with the Pac-10 mentality and that will set Colorado up well for teams like Nebraska, etc. I look forward to Hawkins next recruiting class. He is so late that this class cannot really be considered his. Colorado’s offense cannot possibly be as inept as they were against Clemson. That was the most embarrassing moment of the bowl season until Miami got shallacked by LSU. Keep up the good work Justin.
