Dan Hawkins was a disaster at the University of Colorado and, later, with the Montreal Alloettoes of the Canadian Football League. UC/Davis is a good place for him.

He was consistently ranked at Boise State.

More precisely, Boise State was consistently ranked when Hawkins was there. As Colorado discovered, the brains of that very respectable program resided in soneone else's head. Nice guy. But Google the meltdown clip of him at Colorado, research Denver Post reports of his departure from CU (and the disaster he left behind), and Montreal Gazette coverage of his very short CFL tenure there.

Kinda wondering how you can have position coaches but no OC?  I would think the OC would want MAJOR input on HIS position Coaches and what they teach and style they play.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Both went on to other jobs within a week or something…?

Was Tim Harris there already? I'd like him on our staff.

Yes he was. 

To the other posters, I think Hawkins was only strongly rumored to be taking the OC job, I cannot even remember who the other rumored OC was.  I would have liked Hawkins, he had success at Boise and before; but he decided to be HC at his alma matter.

Regarding quality of Butch's staff versus Kiffin, that remains to be seen.
