Is this a "what the heck did I just get myself into face", or is it just me?
Anyway, old Butch has gotten himself a pair of 56 year old former head coaches to serve as coordinators.
Brent Guy (Utah State, 9-38 overall) will serve on the defensive side and Dan Hawkins (Boise State, Colorado most notably, 112-61-1) will anchor the offensive side.
While Guy may not light it up record wise he has a ton of experience at the FBS level and Hawkins, aside from Colorado's tough task, had ridiculous success in his two gigs prior.
Bottom line, we are still playing patch-work-quilt with FCS guys and they have one-upped us once again with a celebrity hire and now what seems to be some solid game day shoulders.

WE are getting what we pay for and I guess what we deserve. Like 3-9 or worse FAU Admins? Like 20,000 empty seats admins?Posted On: Nov 21st 2016, 4:34 PM #362747
W. Kentucky and North Texas are paying about 800k a year.

FIU realized they were going to have to go bigger to stay competitive. We will have to as well.

In a nice little bit of morning schadenfreude, Dan Hawkins has already left FIU's staff after a week as their OC. He was just hired at our little sisters of the south, didn't last long. May they continue to have that kind of luck!Posted On: Nov 29th 2016, 8:05 AM #363240
To be fair, he is a UC Davis alum.
