More Bloggin' With Hawk

What can I say, he impresses me more every week

Yeah we may not make it to a bowl game this year, but I know 2 things from reading his blogs:

1. The program is on the right course and I think we will see a return to the continued success of the later McCartney, and Barnett Era's. The difference is when we see that success it will not be accompanied by the thug like behavior and attitude that we saw in those era's. I just don't think Coach Hawk would recruit those types of players.

2. If I was on the fence as a parent, and education and personal growth for my child were important to me, I would want Coach Hawk as my son's coach. If he left CU and went to (shudder) Nebraska or Miami or OU, that wouldn't change. He just seems like the type of coach who 'get's it'. The only other coaches I would compare him to are Phil Jackson in the NBA and Mike Leach (although not insane like Leach). I really think that the players are not just getting coached as football players, they are receiving an education as men as well.
