The Hawk Will Coach Intramurals

Maybe the issue is the Chris Petersen was the reason that Boise prospered under Hawkins, too.

Right now I’d sure give him a shot.

Wow, I need a new phone. “Maybe the issue is THAT…”

Not that the sentence is a masterpiece when corrected, but at least now it’s readable.

Guess you can say the same thing about Patterson leaving TCU like Fran did.

Gary Kubiak still has a place in Rado. Other than him they’ll have to settle for Leach or a no-name.

Apparently it wasn’t Division 1 football.

If Hawkins was on Koetter’s staff at BSU and his coaching staff’s philosophy (O & D schemes, play-calling, etc.) was the same as Koetter’s, your theory would have some merit.

Otherwise, I’ve seen PLENTY of situations where the head coach left, the school promoted an assistant from within, and the program got better, which is what I think is BSU’s case.

BSU is the Gonzaga of college football.

Which is why Mark Few has NOT taken a “big time” job. He knows some things can’t be transplanted.

Bet on McCartney getting the call ala Bill Snyder — with the folks believing he can ease the transition into the PAC-12 — with Eric Bienemy as his Head Coach in Waiting.

Leach would be incredibly entertaining in the Pac 12, but I don’t think Pirates take too well to brisk mountain air.

OH No…the dreaded HCIW!

Agree with srr50…watch out, McCartney may be making a reappearance, 5th downs and all.

The poor devil has been on borrowed time for several years now. Must have been fucking miserable, and I’ll bet he’s now relieved that it’s over.

He looks a lot like a younger Gary Busey, doesn’t he?

No way he’s good enough to coach the Legal Eagles.

DICK GAME NOTOFFINFINITY for the whistle-gibbon.

Leach just makes too much sense to happen. He would come on the cheap and has proven to be able to mold a system out of 2-3 star players. With access to California and relative proximity to Texas (as well as relationships with Texas coaches)….he could steal just enough talent to be a serious thorn in the side to the big boys in the Pac 10.

He could bring them back to respectablitly. The Mccartney hire would be horrible. There’s only one Bill Synder. It is not common what he is doing.

Leach sounds like the thing for CU.

Dude, has anyone started building sail-board masts on snow boards yet? Could Pirate Brand Snows’l Boards Inc. be just around the corner? First model would be the Arrr! Kids’ sizes starting with the Matey.

Damn, see what happens when you can’t be bothered to care about your football team any more?

McCartney has made it very clear he wants the job. Early speculation is that he would hire Dave Logan – former NFL player and CU alum currently a very successful highschool coach in Denver to be the OC/head coach in waiting.

“The Legal Eagles flag football team may be requesting an interview soon.”

As a veteran of that illustrious squad, I object. Vehemently, passionately, Demi Moore-in-“A Few Good Men”-style strenuously object.

McCartney would be a good choice from colorado’s point of view in that he is the most successful coach in the program’s history and equally important he understands the programs financial limitations.

Bienemy left CU in the first place because they couldn’t pay their assistant coaches worth a crap.

There is a lot of upside to the CU job if someone can turn it around, but there is a great deal of obstructionism among the university to athletics and football in particular. I could see someone like Mack Brown turning CU into a very good football program.

McCartney is polarizing because of his conservative political views on a very liberal campus. I think Mike Bohn AD just said that the faculty adviser to the football program will chair the search committee. That might just spell the end of MCCartney’s candidacy

I think Peterson could do ok as long as he doesn’t have a son that he insists on playing at QB like little league.

Also, is Colorado broke enough that they might agree to take Greg Davis as their headcoach if Texas agreed to pay out Hawkins and pay Davis’ salary for them until Mack decides to retire? Yeah, I know, nobody’s that broke.

As a former Denver resident, I can promise you the pirate’s lack of political correctness would not fly in Boulder. His “fat little girlfriends” comment would have had the University Womyn’s Club demanding a resignation.

Even though I think Peterson is a better fit at CU than Hawk particularly considering the timing of the move to the Pac 12 and the overlapping recruiting grounds, I don’t think CU is going to go back to that well again. That would be astonishing.

I also don’t think Peterson would be interested in the CU job, I’m sure he’s had more than one long conversation with Hawkins about the difficulties involved in coaching there. Not to mention that he’s going to get better offers. If I had to guess USC, Cal, Arizona State, Arizona, and possibly UCLA will likely be available in the near term. Not to mention places like Michigan, Georgia—assuming Muschamp doesn’t go there—and possibly Miami, Tennessee etc.

Stuckinmn is correct on the political correctness.

Is that Richard Petty-esque coach still with the Legal Eagles?

As a former Denver resident, I can promise you the pirate’s lack of political correctness would not fly in Boulder.

Which greatly enhances the entertainment factor.

So who is coaching the Legal Eagles now and do they still win? Charlie Wright was the Bear Bryant of Intramural football.

Scipio: Are you suggesting that the Boise program has a surrounding culture like FNL Odessa that enables coaches to see effort and success that the cultures in other places won’t allow?

Eric Bieniemy: Cleaning up Los Angeles one CU recruit at a time.

Just go read my Boise article that I linked.

Sure. They’ve pretty much broken every rule that is supposed to lead to success in college football in terms of continuity, recruiting, geography, stadium size etc. They’re football gym rats. That culture can’t just be duplicated.
 
And all of Petersen’s predecessors who have tried have completely failed.

Okay, I fully admit I’m not a dyed-in-the-wool Barker, so it’s possible I simply don’t get the sublime essence of this site. What most of you instantly recognize as transcendental truth simply goes over my head. Brevity is the soul of wit. Less ismore. Understated speaks volumes. I get that, but I don’t get “it.”

I’m certain I’m about to point out what is so blatantly obvious that Scipio or one of the other Barker Primes will perma-ban my IP address for my lack of couth…but that said, I can’t believe no one has explicitly referenced the Shaggy thread to which Scip’s title pays homage:

OK, for better of worse, my work here is done. (There goes the neighborhood….)

Boise’s recent success reminds me of another program located in the middle of nowhere that for 30 plus years kept rolling out top 10 teams, selling out there stadium, turning players into assistant coaches into head coaches and bulldozing a schedule of patsies.

Of course that team joined a new conference, upset its long tradition and football culture, and a few years later they abandon their successful system, hire an outside guy and proceed to sucking.

Finally after a decade of irrelevance, Nebraska is (sort of) back. Once again ready to join a new conference and upset their few remaining traditions and football culture. (Hello did you see how green the grass is at Ohio State?) Are they facing another decade of insignificance?

Hey look at that Boise is joining a new conference too.

speculation among many CU fans is that Cody’s mom has been the real coach for some time.

Colorado would be dumb not to go after Mike Leach. He would have them winning next year.
