Hawkins joins FIU as new OC under Butch Davis. This is without doubt the type of move Ash needs to make,a ex head coach with plenty of experience..as an OC. Hawkins was very good at Boise,not so great at Colorado ,but an ex head coach at name programs..now getting back into the fray as..an Offense Cord.http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-fo...snlym9p?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Is Kyle flood gonna be the OL coach? Neuheisal coaching qbs? Aren't these all guys on Sirius XM?

Why would Butch take this job at his age? Shut it down and enjoy yourself. Golf.

Hawkins now? When was the last time he coached?

This is odd.

Any spread guys we can think of as potential candidates?

The FIU AD was a part of Davis’s front office during his time with the Browns, and Davis was a rumored name for the FIU job after Cristobal was fired.

Was it Hawkins or Peterson who was the brains at Boise?

I thought it was Hawkins who got that program rollin than he took the job at colorado and Peterson got promoted

Exactly right. Hawkins started it, Peterson was the brains after the train started rolling and then took them to another level.

Hawkins was the headcoach, but given his lack of success at Colorado, the question is whether he would have had the success at Boise without Peterson.

And you got the answer.

Wasn't 2006 Peterson's first year?

Peterson's the better coach overall, but can't just give him all the credit for his own and another HC's successes.

Our Coaching staff couldn't carry the clipboards of Hawkins and Davis.

Our Coaching staff couldn't carry the clipboards of Hawkins and Davis.

Probably not since Davis needs to keep the clipboard full of all the grades he changed pretty close to him.

Of course they could. Now,jock straps are a different story.

 

[cicero grimes]

I wonder what sort of classes FIU will be adding to the academic portfolio at coach Davis' suggestion.

Butch has a chip on his shoulder about how his previous job ended - it's been mentioned. He can still coach and if this is what gets him fired up every day why not? I think Bill Snyder is 77. The Hawkins move is perfect - now he can recruit and have an easy answer for "what if you're not here when I'm a senior?"
