Dan Hawkins is in his fourth year at Colorado and he has done nothing in his tenure.

Hawkins was 13-24 through three years and is sitting at 0-2 so far this year.

Where is the 53-11 Boise State man that Colorado thought they were getting.

Hawkins has not come close to what Gary Barnett or Rick Neuheisel did during their tenure with the Buffaloes.

Hawkins has had enough time to get his type of players at Colorado.

Colorado needs to make a change and get a man who is going to bring Colorado back to the forefront of Big 12 play.

Their is a really good chance that Colorado could be this years Washington. They will not go 0-12, but 1-11 or 2-10 is not out of the question.

What has gone wrong? Can he not recruit? Is he over his head?

Nobody knows what is the issue with this team, but something needs to change.

In 2006 CU started with a 2-10 record beating Texas Tech and Iowa State at home.

2007 saw a 6-7 record with home victories against Colorado State, Miami (OH), Oklahoma, and Nebraska and road victory's against Baylor and Texas Tech

2008 saw a 5-7 record with home victory's against Colorado State, Eastern Washington, Kansas State, West Virginia, and Iowa State.

And 2009 has started out with loses to Colorado State and Toledo.

I know i jumped the gun. The game is not final, but its Toledo 30 to 3 over Colorado in the 3rd quarter.

Something needs to be done!!!!!
