Don't get much news here in Virginia beyond Daily Camera & Denver Post columnists & been reading a lot about this guy from them. (Same as with Butch Jones.) Go Buffs!

Takes the Tenn job 12 hours after saying nothing to CU? Sucks to be used like that. The president needs to call Gordon Gee and ask him for his notes on "how to look the other way" Bohn needs to hire SOMEBODY with credentials, tomorrow. Alums need to start writing checks with lots of zeros after a number and before the decimal point. I thought the team/university was a laughingstock during the season, but this is just pathetic. Glad the basketball team is finally doing well. BEAT KANSAS!

You are a D1 head football coach, & applying to be the highest paid public employee in the state of Colorado & you are going to act like Alec Baldwin v. paparazzi? You sure you want this guy?

It doesn't matter who the coach is, it starts with the administration. That's been the only constant from the Barnett meltdown through the Howkins mediocrity to the Embree implosion. There's a reason Ohio State football became relevant again (& ethically dodgy) and that's Gordon Gee. Remember him? Until CU gets a president willing to turn a blind eye, or at least one who will stop the delusions-of-grandeur, AND is able to convince the state to end its SIGNIFICANTLY DEBILITATING LACK OF SUPPORT, this is the new normal. We're a slightly better-than-average public university that gets so many applications not because of its academic programs, but because of its setting & its party reputation. Oregon wasn't relevant for DECADES for the same reasons until "Uncle Phil" Knight ponied up how many millions? Stop the elitist-posturing Fund the athletic department to competitive levels Then the kids will come Then the coaches can coach No infrastructure, no competition.

Hey! Pampered, elite high school talent! Come to CU & have the coach say "you suck" in the papers every year when you don't perform! I'm all for keeping players accountable & calling into question their competitive drives when necessary; but in the press? That should be kept behind closed doors. In any event, best of luck boys.

(wasn't Embree the player who said, "we got enough choirboys, we need some football players!"?) In the 21st century, you additionally have to pour money into the athletic department. Will the CU equivalent of T Boone Pickens please step forward? this sucks. flame off!

That, as much as anything, prompted Maturi to make the move now rather than wait until the end of the season."

When was the LAST time a CU student-athlete killed one of his teammates & the coach tried to conspire the rest of the team to cover it up? (Rae Carruth was a pro in Carolina--so that doesn't count) They TOTALLY have CU beat in that scoreboard.

It is obvious he is calling himself out with the quote. Equally obvious, the team has shallow faith in their own abilities. If there is any mojo for CU's patience with Hawkins, hopefully there will be some choice coaching candidates available come December.

Yikes! Nevermind the conjunction, and nevermind the nattering nabobs. Buck up boys & flush this one out of your minds. I hope the administration is updating its plans, 'cos it looks like Butch Davis will be available real soon. Heck, his associate HC & lead recruiter is available NOW.

The PAC-10 ought to worry about these guys--if they aren't invited they might call for a Crusade.

His teams at least play Toledo with passion.

My best guess, from 1500 miles away, is that the kids do not believe in what Hawkins is preaching. He's lost the team. But they are too broke to fix what's broke.

Pathetic effort from the boys, & that's on the coaches. I hate to say it, but Hawk needs to be canned.... ...because its Division I, bro. You just can't suck like that.
