Dan Hawkins to Montreal?

Apparently Dan Hawkins, former head coach of our beloved Buffaloes, is a lead candidate to be the next head coach of the CFL Montreal Allouettes.

No news on whether he will try to get them to draft Cody to be his starting QB.

From the article:
Hawkins, 52, is a former college fullback who began his NCAA Division I-A coaching career as an assistant at Boise State in 1998. He was named head coach in 2001, leading the Broncos to an overall 53-11 record. Hawkins holds a 31-game Western Athletic Conference winning streak, the longest in conference history.
He moved to the Colorado Buffaloes in December 2005, signing a five-year contract that paid $900,000 annually. With incentives, he could earn $1.5-million. But Hawkins failed to enjoy similar success, going 19-39 overall. He was fired nine games into the 2010 season. His buyout was approximately $2-million.

Allez le Hawkins!
 
Ok. An old timer cannot make a crude comment without being banned to Tini land? Is this some sort of Nazi state?
 
My prediction of the cliches Dan will use at the press conference, if he gets the job:

"There are always risks to be taken. That's the nature of this job."

Time to cinch it up, and get our horns out."

"I think that's certainly a progression we need to take. Any great pursuit is driven by some passion and some experience that comes from a variety of places. You realize how close you are but yet how far you are away and how much effort it takes to close that gap."

"It's real easy to be a critic. It's real easy to be a quitter."

"We're going to attack. We're going to play football. We came here to play."
 
Does noted clutch MLB closer Eric Gagne still live in Montreal? Maybe Danny can get him to play sports psychologist and counsel the kickers. That guy was Money.
