Dear James, Daniel and Emily
Hawkins relieved of his duties as CU head coach
I was a staunch defender of Coach Hawk, I really thought he was the perfect match to Boulder and CU. But after 5 years it has become clear that while his personality may have meshed well with Boulder, his talents and skills as a head coach were not up to snuff. It's sad and troubling that it had to end this way. I would have liked to have seen him succeed or if not succed at least go out with some style. But that last loss was really the final straw.
Here's a couple of names I would like to see replace him:
Mike Leach, bring the Pirate to Boulder! He may not be a typical head coach, but he took an also ran school in the highly competitive state of Texas and made it into a conference and even possible national champion contender.
Gus Malzhan: His offensive wizardry might be the trick we will need to keep up in the new conference.
Eric Bienemy: Bring Scooter back to Boulder! I'm not 100% sure he is ready to be a head coach, but this would have real appeal to the alumni.
Bill McCartney: I would only want this as a bridge, like in combination with Bienemy or long shot Dave Logan as a coach in waiting.
