Aaaaaand the Hawk just put on his jersey and letterman jacket. Love this guy.

I am LOVING Dan Hawkins. You can tell this guy really wants to take Aggie football to the next level. His energy, passion, and love for the game is amazing.

Hahaha, Hawk is a funny guy. I love the passion he has even just in this news conference.

C'mon tech team... THIS IS DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL

To be fair we have more like 1 1/2 quarterbacks committed. Tehran Thomas has committed to play RB at Davis, but played wildcat QB in high school.

DE Brandon Gooding has committed to Air Force.

I wonder what the fallout will look like after the hiring of Coach Hawk? Hopefully we don't lose too many critical pieces this next year.

HAHAHAHA!!! Start selling those bad boys pronto!

The last Hawkins in UCD sports history worked out pretty well... hopefully this one will do even better.

Alright so it's official. Let's get the news conference done and then the Hawk has to hit the ground running. We got a football program to turn around! ITS DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL!!!!

UC Davis release

Done!

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.

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.

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

Football Scoop says that it has been confirmed.

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.

I understand. I wasn't trying to say that we have to go back to the same exact game plan we had in the past, but I would like us to become a pass first team. We never had the personnel to be the run first team Gould wanted us to be.

I could get on board with bringing back the high flying offenses that we used to have. I wonder why Gould was never willing to make a change in his coordinators?

I too hope that Dr. Blue casts a wide net on this one. I think that some of the coaches on this list would turn out all right, but we shouldn't be limiting ourselves in this search. I feel like that's how we ended up with Gould, because it was simply convenient for the AD at the time.
