They finally did it, the long era of pain is over.

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.
