If the rumors that we heard before hold true, then Ron is moving to Fresno... lucky him. I wish Gould all the best if he does end up there. I have been refreshing footballscoop.com and coachingsearch.com to see if anything pops up about what Hawkins plans to do, but nothing yet. He did say in the presser that he knows a lot of people and he didn't come into this with a preset staff so I hope he takes the time to find the right people... that being said, he can't take too long because we have recruiting to do.
I agree with GunRock, that is embarrassingly low for our positional coaches. We can only hope that Dr. Blue is finding the resources necessary to make our football program successful again.
EWU's Kupp and Hill were clearly the 2 best receivers in the Big Sky, but Doss had very similar stats to NAU's Butler who got the last spot on the 1st team. Butler had less than 100 more yards total on the season than Doss, while Doss had 1 more TD. You could have made an argument for him to have made it this year.
Sorry your son had to play under this last staff. I agree with you, Gould is a good guy just unprepared to be a head coach. Even though the records may not have been great, there is still a lot to be proud about what our scholar athletes do accomplish. Hopefully both you and your son move forward with Aggie Pride in your hearts.
Most people seem to think that we have landed a steal with Coach Hawkins. The only people bad talking this hiring are Colorado fans. I look forward to what the Hawk can do with this program.
I would imagine that he would like to evaluate our players and skill sets before making a set plan on what he wants to do going forward. That being said, a pistol offense would be fun to watch.
I am LOVING Dan Hawkins. You can tell this guy really wants to take Aggie football to the next level. His energy, passion, and love for the game is amazing.
