dan hawkins is head coach. my brother is on the team. meeting tonight in an hour to tell them apparently.

Woah...Blue is moving FAST.

Very interesting, I would still like to hear a confirming statement from Dr. Blue but what you are telling me makes the tweet seem legitimate.

Very fast, Dr. Blue seems to know what he wants and acts on it. No dancing around.

IT'S DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL!!

If it's confirmed, it's a huge get for us!

I must admit that i did not think he would fit with the Davis persona - not that i object, but he is a nonon-sense kind of guy. Now i cant wait to see wwho the assistances are. That was fast!

Football Scoop says that it has been confirmed.

It has been confirmed through back channels. Official Announcement in a few minutes and press conference tomorrow.

On one hand, yeah that was surprisingly fast.

On the other -- Ron Gould possibly needing to go was not exactly a hard thing for Blue to figure out midway through this season, or even at the start of it. And if Blue realized at some point that it would be more likely than not that he would need to procure a new coach on short notice by the season's end, then Hawkins might have gotten a heads-up call weeks ago.

A no-non-sense football coach is EXACTLY what U.C.D needs!!
"Davis Personna".....UCD likes winning!

Very interesting. What do I win for breaking the breaking news?

Air high five!

With the speed in which this all happened, it is clear that Blue's manuscript was written with Hawkins at the top of his list.

Hey Folks,
What colleges was Coach Hawkins the head coach at??

Boise, Colorado...

Willamette, Boise State, Colorado, and now UC Davis. Not a college but was the HC of Montreal in the CFL for a very short stint.

This is a big get!!!

Statement at 730 pm PST, press conference tomorrow.

And there are a lot of schools looking for a coach right now. Two more coaches got canned over the weekend.

Thanks CA FOREVER

There's a very interesting split of opinions about this hiring on twitter. A lot of people saying it's a great hiring, followed by Colorado fans saying it's an awful hiring. Only time will tell, but I think Coach Hawk has wanted this position real bad.

No problem.

W's & L's shape opinions!
We are a FCS school with a FBS, PAC12 Coach!
Awesome day for us!

Very true. Besides us, Nevada, San Jose St and soon to be Sac St. and Oregon. Brutal time to be a head coach.

I wonder what they had to pay him? And with his media contacts, good things will be happening.

Line up boys to renew your season tickets and tailgate spots!

Exciting news! Good publicity too....maybe will get a mention with our logo on SportsCenter?

Damn..I go away from the forum for a couple of hours to watch some basketball, check back in and BOOM!...BIG BREAKING NEWS...feels like I'm the last one to the party! Wow...Blue is not wasting any time getting things done.

I'm excited! We get a former Aggie who transformed Boise to greatness. Welcome home Hawk!!

...and we will win, and we will win, and we will win!

Nice 6th! And high five CA Forever...great job scooping this for us!

If you have Twitter, all the retweets and likes help drive the message and the publicity for the boards!
