I agree it is time for this coach to go. He can't recruit, the recruits he gets, leave and he is just a poor coach. In one game this season we had over 19 penalties! That is coaching. Miami is a young team, USC is a young team they seem to be doing fine mainly cuz Hawkins is not there coach. Are there any NFL rejects that would like to coach our team???? Least they can recruit and coach well Moxin (Matt) is that you????? I agree it is time for this coach to go. He can’t recruit, the recruits he gets, leave and he is just a poor coach.

It's about us loving our team so much that we think changes need to be made to turn it around. Nate it’s not about us not loving our team.

How unexciting. I for one am proud to be a fan through thick and thin, which will make the turnaround of the CU program in the years to come that much more exciting and gratifying. Those who leave now and want to come back around when things are going well...just stay home. -Nate It’s sad that people only go to games when their team has a good record or is supposed to win.

Ok maybe not but Hawk has got to go. I don't mind spending Alex's money to get him out. Out with Hawkins in with Shanahan! Ok maybe not but Hawk has got to go.

I love the football team, but things such as salaries for CU employees and student services need to come first.

If he has any dignity or any semblance of manhood, he should quit, forfeit the rest of his contract, and go ruin someone else's football team. The fact that the team has little to no athletic skill isn't Hawkins' fault. But the fact that they go out every weekend confused, flat, and emotionless definitely can be attributed to Hawkins' complete ineptitude as a coach. I've seen high school teams get completely blown out and still look more coordinated, poised, and well-coached than the Buffaloes did against Mizzou. I know that we can't win many games, but it should at least look like we practice occasionally. Actually, it does look like we practice, no team can be this poorly coordinated without routinely practicing in a terrible way. I'm sure that Hawkins settles for less than perfect execution at practice, then says, "It'll be better on game day." When teams practice poorly and are just flat out lazy on the field, that's the coach's fault. Hawkins just needs to quit.
