Daily Camera.com: : Mike Bohn to CU-Boulder faculty leaders: \'We will not cut corners\' - Boulder Daily Camera

Fri, 7 Dec 2012 18:47:31 +0000

Right now I am stuck in Midwest. Coverage has been brutal. Saving grace is U of I, believe it or not, is even worse. Although there are many disturbing aspects the two that stand out are: 1. DeStephano, Benson, Bohn are talking as if they have invented something. Need fan & alumni support, new facilities, etc. Seriously, do they not get out of the office and cruise campus, attend a FB game, etc. It is disingenuos to the point of misappropriating the truth. 2. THis same brain trust have gone through this how many times? The results speak for themselves. The consultant, if that is what they really are, should tell DeStephano and Benson shut up, only say hello and would you like that on the rocks. Bohn should be told get this under control with a football solution or you are gone. Same repetitive actions expecting different outcomes is insanity. CU needs to move forward & DeS, Benson, and Bohn are in the way.

I thought the KU game last yr was hard to stomach - this one had the same stench and after taste. Embree and staff should stop living on past personal successes and start coaching.

Tried to keep an open mind about this team, coaches, and administration. Recognize this is the first game and loss. But when you kill yourself with penalties, allow QB 50 yd TD run, and do not utilize tall, fast, talented wideouts it is the same as Hawk era. Expected way more and got even less.

So let me get this straight - make bad hires, broke, payoff bad hires, and negotiate a pay raise and new contract. Very clear as to how we got in this position. DUH!

The weak link in the coach selection process is Bohn & De-Staff-no. This is not a brain trust I feel comfortable in making such a decision. Hawk is responsible but so are those two and as par for the course you hear no words indicating responsibility. This athletic program needs more true Buffs in key positions. If Bohn were fired tomorrow and hired by another college he would immediately be loyal to them. So he is loyal via the paycheck. This leads me to picking administration and coaches who are part of the Buff Nation. If Coach C wins out or even goes 2-1 he needs to bein the final three.

I find it amazing that anyone remotely associated with CU sports would have such opinions about FB next coach. Either take less alcohol, drugs, or coffee or more but to give Bohn such an idea is scary because he just may go and do it. Start thinking in terms of "big kid" schools and coaches: Northwesterns coach, Leach, etc. When you have low goals and fail to achieve you will remain a looser.

Congrats to Cody on your recognition. Coach Snyder's comments about Cody being a quality person speaks volumes for me. Bing a Buff is a priviledge and an honor and Cody has earned it. I will say, to this point, the Hawkins family has been very professional. I do feel for Hawk, yes I was extremely critical, I can't help but think he is a better coach than his results. I do warn the Buff Nation - it take more than one person to fail. Bohn is just as culpable.

Buff Nation - As much as I want to celebrate today I cannot help but feel for Hawk. It is never a good "thing" for anyone to get fired, let alone fired in this economy. The fact that he is the only CU coach to be dismissed prior to the end of the season not only recognize his failings but is an indictment on CU athletics and the executive administration.Emotionally we may feel better because the evil doer has been ousted but I believe we all know it is illogical to put 100% blame on him. When I read "DiStefano, ...said he hopes to hire a coach with BCS level experience. He said it would also be wise to hire someone with roots in the Pac-12 or the Big 12." I want to hurl. Why was this not the approach 4 yrs ago or end of last year? Simply the administration officials are riding the Buff Nation emotional response to gain favor. They need to be held accountable as well as Hawk. If Buff Brian wins out then maybe I feel differently.

Fortunately Illini 65 - Michigan 67 in 3 ot's so no one was listening or watching.� Tell your students the CU-KS game was really an advertisement on why you need to stay in school and get your education - a mind is a terrible thing to waste.� Good luck.

Daily Camera.com: : Bohn: No decision on Hawkins, but decision could be coming - Boulder Daily Camera

Sun, 7 Nov 2010 03:43:21 +0000

For me this epitomizes what is wrong with CU athletics - lack of leadership, lack of proactive decision making ability, and lack of intestinal fortitude. Name one corporation where after four years the operations manager can't make a decision and the production manager cannot produce and are still employed by that firm. Contract or not they would not be employed. Additionaly Bohn is doing a tremendous diservice to Hawk & CU. Hawk has dug his own grave but letting him continue to flounder about is like leaving a pitcher in a game after he has given up 10 runs. It only hurts CU. More importantly - with this administration who in their right mind would want to coach at CU? I remember the Fairbanks experiment - that was also very painful.

I unequivocally agree with you. He would have been included but I was under the impression that he had a two year contract and would be retained (in some capacity) by the new coach regardless. If that is incorrect then he should sent packing.� I keep thinking \"it was the worse of times, it was the best of times\". Just knowing it is over feels so good.

GO CU!

Kyle R. and DC sports writers do not write colums as it is what it is. Let the voice of the Buff Nation say what needs to be said. FIRE BOHN & HAWK, defensive coordinator, and special teams coach.

I find myself not upset at Hawk as he did what we needed him to do, coach his way, and now it is done. Remember he is a "dead man walking" so whatever gibberish he delivers is understandable. Now - CU executive administration. If nothing else, this was the year to commerate greatness in CU football. After today it is hard to find any "good" in the athletic program. Even if you are not sports enthusiasts your student body is and they pay the bills. IMMEDIATELY FIRE BOHN, HAWK, defensive coordinator, and special teams coach. Actually do something constructive and decisive. Hire LEach or Venable and have them help you find an AD. If you cannot take action then just eliminate all sports as pretending is much worse than incompetence. Your legacy will ride on what you do or do not do. Just remember it is not your university but the BUFF NATIONS.

Yes It is finally over. No more little details, ifs, Hawkisms, etc. Immediately fire Hawk, Bohn, defense coordinator, and special teams coach. Without them at least we would have a reason for playing so bad. Immediately hire Leach or Venables before the PAC 10 reads the newspaper or watches Sports Center. As painful as this is, as an alumni, I am glad father and son played true to form.

Finally the pain is over. Clean house. I am sure the PAC10 is second guessing themselves right now. Go get Leach or Venables. Bohn hand in your resignation also by 8 am mountain time.

Pretty amazing that anyone could understand what he was saying with all that burnt orange "stuff" in his mouth. The illustrious DUH award goes to U of Misery. Media sources report that Misery is one of the schools who will give away their portion of the CU & NU exit money to keep TU, Tx A&M, and OK in the league. In addition, when you consider they did not receive any promise of extra money only the "concept " MIsery come up with a very large and beautiful zero, nada, zilch, goose egg to stay in the BIG TX League. Coincidently that is exactly what a degree from MIsery will get you - .0000000000000000

Buffzone.com: CU sports from the Daily Camera : Big 12 survival seems closer -- with 10 teams - Buffzone

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 03:08:36 +0000

I admit I was wrong about the CU move to the PAC 10 as it seemed we were heading down the same path as the previous attempts and just alot of blah blah blah. I never saw NU moving to the Big 10 as realistic and still believe they will be 3-5 place football team. Cannot wait to see them play in Happy Valley and the rain/sleet/snow. Missou really needs to learn how to win and act like a winning organization. Talk about on the outside looking in - they were not even in the same conversation. Missou get used to being TU official soap in the shower buddy. Once again get over yourself and learn how to win. The NU - TU war of ego's is a very sad statement regarding college football. NU you are not what you used to be and will not be in the near future. TU - just how much money do you need? CU bring in MIke Leach if you really want to be competitive in the Pac - whatever #. THis move to the Pac - whatever # should be a great "thing" but my paranoia tells me something is not right as Bohn & the CU Administration just do not have a successful record in doing anything with sports.

Buffzone.com: CU sports from the Daily Camera : Ringo: Possible CU league shift depends on Big Ten - Buffzone

Wed, 9 Jun 2010 02:08:10 +0000

Has anyone else noticed how quiet SEC, ACC, and Big East have been? I am sure they are praying that the dumb butt disease they see afflicting the PAC 10, Big 12, and the Big 10/11 does not spread in their direction. Really think about it-Delany (Big 10/11) wants Notre Dame when no one else does, Big 12 has bozo' like Bohn, Osborne, and Myers (TTU) as AD's, and two institutions of lower learning (Cornhaul U and Misery) want to go for the money even though they will be average in feetball and outclassed in basketball. THis is like a very bad plague.

this all smells like the last episode of PAC 10 expansion alot of blah blah blah followed by doomsday and then flatulent silence. If my future depended on what Misery and Cornhaul U does you really are mediocre and need to immediately go to the testicle store and buy a pair. This is what happens when the inmates run the assssylum. Misery and Cornhaul U will be middle of the pack in Big 10/12/14/whatever. Could not wait to seem them play in freezing rain and snow in Happy Valley. If they go make sure they have No Return stitched in their undies.
