When we were getting crushed at Toledo, it annoyed me to see Cody & Scotty playing leapfrog on the sidelines.
In HaLkins bio on Cal Davis his time at Colorado is summarized into:
- Took over a rebuilding Colorado (2006-10) program and gained invaluable experience during his tenure with the Big XII Conference
His experience here had no value at best, more likely negative value. Invaluable is a nice way of saying we can't determine how much value he destroyed.

Four out of my five years at CU were Halkins years, I did not have good timing.
That sucks. I was at CU for 3 years and we won the Big 8 each year. My wife, who’s not a sports fan, still can’t understand how we lose games since we won every game we attended.

Humble brag?
To quote the great Sir Winston Churchill, he has much to be humble about.
Hah! No, even the dumbasses get out of law school in three years.
Miller was the highly recruited OL. Solder was a TE for two years before he finally made the move to LT.
But yeah, I totally fell for his BS too. What a fraud.
It said Darrell Brown in the beginning. Did his last name change when he got here? I don't recall ever reading the recruiting articles about him list him as Darrell Brown?

I think they mixed up chris brown and darrell scott
Nobody would ever categorize Chris Brown as one of the biggest busts in college football history.

Pesavento too. Let us not forget the man who was under center for one of the greatest games in Colorado history.
I rank Talkins right up there with Scarebanks!
I remember the commentator saying Colorado could not match the speed of Toledo, a friggin MAC commuter school.

As I mentioned in another thread, I got to buy Bobby P a beer at the Blake Street Tavern in 2010 while watching the last time we played the Nubbs. When he came over to thank me, I thanked him for largely providing my best memory as a Buff fan.

Yep, that was Bob Davie, former ND coach. When he said that during the Toledo game, it was the first time that I acknowledged to myself that not only did we have a major coaching problem, but a major talent/speed problem as well.
How about when, instead of coach speak, he tried to sound cool?
We're gonna pound it and launch it this year, brother.

Definitely a bad sign, I went to that game and came away shaking my head
incompetent. and, he compounded the incompetence with dishonesty and a failure to adjust.
remember also that pederson was supposed to come with as the oc. that was a part of the pitched "package" deal from juice box. juice box undoubtedly knew that pedey was likely to take the hc job at boise. in fact, it is hard to see now, looking back, how anyone in the CUAD could have thought pedey was coming along for what would have been a relatively modest salary. yet, the braintrust hired hawkins anyway. disaster.
i think we have to have a new rule-- if a CU football hc loses to any lower level team, ever, he should be immediately terminated. coaches that lose to drake and toledo and montana ****ing state don't belong here.
the embree thing is still raw for me. he's done so much for the program and yet he was personally responsible for taking a train wreck into nuclear meltdown disaster. i do hope time continues to heal those wounds.

What about Hawai'i? MacIntyre lost to them. I hold a lot of people responsible for the Embree debacle-not just JE himself. McCartney (who was too vocal about wanting to hire within the family after Hawkins was fired), Bohn (for not giving Brian Cabral-who would have been ideal to take over at that point IMO more of a look or the job right then and there......he stepped in as interim after that epically bad loss to Kansas and beat Iowa State and K-State in back to back weeks in 2010......there seemed to be a little bit of fire those two weeks), in addition to Embree himself for not surrounding himself with more qualified people.
