I do not think that word means what he thinks it means. He should already be getting 60 minutes...

You pay for the Buffs TV thing from cubuffs.com?? Think, for awhile anyway, thats the only place you can watch it. Want to say a few hours after the fact they'll put it up for everyone and i'll post a link. Defintly worth watching.

the press conferences are usually free on Buffs TV, but I guess that is only if can watch it live.
People would not have been happy had he said, "I don't want to talk about anything but the upcoming missou game so I won't answer questions about anything else." The guy is between a rock and a hard place and people are really upset at the moment. Nothing he can say will be right. That's where he is. He needs to win, and he knows this.
I wonder if this just dawned on him now.
Translation: I feel pangs of guilt cashing those huge checks...but not enough to stop....
I know he doesn't really have a "good" option on what to say, but he definitely shouldn't be prepping for these conferences for hours, finding letters of support and getting them organized for a press reading session.

I had a boss do this once. He was new and everyone hated him. He realized this and at some point called a meeting and started reading positive emails/letters from previous colleagues. It had a very, "See, I'm right and you're wrong" flavor to it. He was fired within a few weeks.

What the HELL is the point of this in a press conference?? Isn't a press conference supposed to be giving the press, and by extension the fans, information of interest to them regarding the program?? Are we supposed to be interested in letters to Hawk telling him how ****ing wonderful he is? Especially when it's a one-sided bull**** infomercial, completely ignoring all the letters to the contrary they have to be getting?? What would any of your clients/customers think if you started a meeting with them by reading them testimonials you've gotten from other clients?? :lol:
Seriously. Take the letters home and read them to Misti. You can revel in the glow of all the people who love you there. But when you're doing your job, when you are communicating with the press regarding the football program, please stop with the emotional masturbation until the press conference is over.

This.
Just looking at him raises my blood pressure. Listening to him talk is too much to handle. I get angry when I hear his voice.
here is the press conference

whole thing is truly strange. i'm not sure, however, that a trip to the CU medical center is the same as tackling given Hawk's job description. I admire the fact he sees his job as active in the CU community and comprehensive that way...and that's good in terms of PR given the end and public perception (real or manufactured) of Barney's tenure....but, it's not the same as working on tackling.
Wow, that presser is a cry for help....
Really, where can I get a job where I can lecture everybody how I know how to do the job, and get paid without regard to results?
I actually feel bad for him...I think he doesn't know what to do.
I mean honestly, you need the players to tell each other to strap it up to play on the road? Unbelievable.
I never played at the D1 level, but I played on the road, I never knew much difference. Maybe it's different in the big time, I really can't say...
Not the brother in law in Iraq again....

a lot of this "hey, i know what i'm doin....we've done it before" stuff is straight Hawk Year One. give him credit for staying on message however implausible it seemed then and now.
THEN it made sense. We could see the results. NOW it obvious the guy has succeeded in spite of his abilities, and because of the abilities of others.
I'm waiting on the this ain't my first rodeo comment. Somebody should mention mutton busting doesn't count.

Me too. I just got done listening to him talk about crazy plays and outcomes in footballs games he's seen for god knows how long, and why nothing is impossible. :lol:
