I read somewhere that "catch" is the proper terminology.

Oh they could get much worse. We could be like Wazzu and get a couple wins a year, instead we were still flirting with bowl eligibility almost every year with our worst coach ever.
I think Bohn has done a great job. I think he has done an outstanding job hiring and promoting. Hawkins was one of the hottest names out there when hired. A lot of big time programs would have taken a serious look at him.It didn't work out and Bohn learned from that mistake and hired someone from within the family that has seen CU at it's best.
CSU extension is really the only big **** up I've seen out of Bohn.

Before I go into details, I want to state that I am also against the CU-csu Invesco series..
But really, to claim that the extension of this series by Bohn as a major screw up is weak. If you look at Tini's stats, out the last 10 games played @ Invesco, only 2 games had 10,000+ tickets that were not sold. In fact, half of the games were either sold out or close to. So from a financial standpoint, one may deduce that this series is mostly a success. Of course, it still pans out as a crappy experience for the fans, as well as one less home game @ Folsom, but IMO, this doesn't qualify as a huge blunder by Bohn.
Leash, you gotta admit this is a stretch. We never flirted with bowl eligibility in 2006 or 2009. 2010 was heading down the same path before a change was made and even then it was a longshot. We are talking three years out of five where we were mostly really bad and one of the worst BCS conference teams in country.
There is no way to spin the Hawkins hire/subsequent extension. It was an outright failure.
I do agree that Bohn has done a lot of good things in his tenure though.

It makes me laugh when peoples argument for Bohn is "It could be a lot worse". :huh:

Even at Invesco? I've only heard of this at Folsom.

Under Hawkins we went 2-10, 6-7, 5-7, 3-9, and 3-6 or 5-7. This is not very good.
2-24 on the road. Dead last in the nation. No other D1A team failed to win fewer than 3 road games.
21-40 overall. 19-39 under Hawkins. We won slightly less than one third of our games. BCS conference teams with worse records:
Washington - 21-41. A half-game worse. If you don't consider our 2-1 record under Cabral, our record is worse.
Vanderbilt - 20-41. A game worse. If you don't consider our 2-1 record under Cabral, our record is worse here as well.
Washington State - 16-45.
Duke - 13-47.
Iowa State and Syracuse finished with identical 21-40 records.
So there you have it. There were two BCS conference teams that were definitively worse than us between 2006-2010.
I don't think the argument that things could have been "much worse" holds much water.

You seem to be under the impression that Mike Bohn was coaching the football team.
Or that Bohn wasn't the one who retained Squawkins.

This is another reason that I wouldn't be sad to see him go. I really don't think he has any pull within the ADept. It's clear that DiSteph is calling the shots.
Wouldn't that mean that DiSteph needs to go, not Bohn?

Both.
Sounds like Bohn is just playing the cards he was dealt. We need an administration that supports sports.

He hired him. He is the athletic director. But I guess it is unreasonable to hold the head of the athletic department responsible for the success of... the athletic department. :rolling_eyes:

Playing the cards he was dealt. That's what it was. :lol:
In defense for Bohn, Hawkins was considered the hottest coach in the country when he was hired in 2005 (or was it early 2006?) then tried to fire him after the kNU game in 2009 but was overruled by DiSteph and thus he was retained.

What a great AD we've got. :lol: I'm sure he has plenty of credibility within the department. That's the guy I want heading into the Pacific Twelve Era. Yikes.
When you get overrode by the heads of the school, what more can you do?

Resign. If they won't let you do your job, then why are you there?

Looks like it came back around bromosexual.
so if thats the situation you expect a guy with better credentials to come in and take on that trainwreck?
