First a winning record, then the FCS playoffs and new facilities.

I'm betting the current and future Aggies are fired up!! (Though I thought I read a Bulldog fan saying they may try to cherry pick "athlete" and UCD commit Perryman.)

This could be UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGG!!!!

Can Hawk bring in an innovative OC like Troy Taylor? I hope he can resist the temptation to bring his son Cody along ... we don't need distractions.

I believe Hawk is TIGHT with Foster, so he probably already knows the skinny... and Foster doesn't beat around the bush.

Key questions: Do we need to nail down a 5th QB? Can CJ Spencer (or Brock Dale) get us to 5 or 6 wins next year? (Two of our QBs will be newbies.)

Could be a better recruiting season than Gould & Co.? ... I'm fired up!!!!

Hawk up on the homepage of www.ucdavisaggies.com along with press release.

Interesting...does anyone know when our players started voluntary self directed summer practices? Last summer was the first time I heard rumor of them. I know summers past where QBs, WRs spent a lot of summertime together. Oline too.

How many months did it take to hire a local unemployed position coach?

We should have some great applicants. Go Aggies I

+2.

I took it for what it is. An undergrad got to spend half an hour with a gracious coach, probably their first interview with a DI FB HC.... we were once this young.

An issue when Hawkins failed at Colorado was a QB controversy involving his son Cody.

Wikipedia: "On November 6, 2010, Colorado blew a 28-point fourth quarter lead over the Kansas Jayhawks and lost, 52–45, the biggest collapse in the 121-year history of Colorado football.[7] While still nursing that large lead in the fourth quarter, Hawkins continued to have his team throw the ball on offense instead of running it, allowing Kansas time to mount its comeback. There has been widespread suspicion Hawkins made that choice because he was more concerned about his quarterback, son Cody, breaking the school's all-time passing record than winning the game.[8]"

He has coached with his son, and his son now coaches high school football in Oregon. If Hawkins comes to Davis, does he bring his son?

... and we're down to 4 QBs?

Next year ...

Brock Dale - Sr
CJ Spencer - Jr
Nico Hillier - 6'3" RFr / Soph - have we heard any good feedback on this young man?
Niko Harris - 6'1" Freshman; HS team in CIF finals, he is out with an injured knee.

A defensive line / position coach??!! Tell me it isn't so, aggie6thman... too much turkey?

Maybe the rain nullified any size advantage by SLO? ...not so lucky in Fargo.

I bet USD doesn't have a fancy $50M Athletic Training Facility... or a huge recruiting budget... that and the torn up turf reminded me of Toomey.

FWIW. CJ Spencer never got into the Causeway Classic... I know we were happy with the Win and the offensive numbers... just sayin.

Position coaches from the Pac-12 scare me ... and many don't fit several of Blue's criteria.

Other names are welcome in comments.

I hate to see USD stomped by the Bison...any chance 4 a respectable showing?

I have to think position coaches are an automatic 'no go'...though the ewu coach sounds like an excellent choice for potential OC.

I'd still like to hear Daft explain our strategy and struggles, cause Gould and Bruce ain't giving no insight. ...and we recruited speed for 3 years. ...Boy that Weber loss looms huge...baseline Wins should have been 4....

Will Blue let Foster talk to the press?

Announcers claimed USD coach would tell his players 'you pay $60,000 a year here for the pleasure to play football.'

I don't buy the 'tired' part at this age, maturity maybe, youth ... but still a strong start to the season... and I believe our current schedule is tougher than when we had the cake schedule 2 years back.
