Is Dan Hawkins so terrible?  Such an embarrassment that he can't be given the chance to complete the job he was hired to do?  C'mon.

Hawkins has done everything right at CU.  Except win.  He's brought energy, enthusiasm and creativity to a program that was lacking all three.  The players are graduating at a higher rate and getting in trouble at a much lower one.

I get it.  This is "big boy football", not "intramurals, brother!" and football is important in Boulder.  They need to win more than two or three games per season.  But Hawkins inherited a mess from gar Barnett and deserves more time to clean it up.  He's earned it.
