23 years old and still dont know how to complete a sentence correctly. When did it become "your" thread anyway?
Ive never heard of anything like and regardless of what his religion is it has nothing to do with football,all that matters is WINS!
GO BIG ORANGE!:yahoo:
Dan Hawkins won four straight WAC titles. His worst records were 8-4 in 2001 and 9-4 in 2005. Other than those two, he only ever lost one game a year. He built Boise State. That doesn't mean Petersen is not a good coach, but he inherited quite a lot.
In fact, I would be warmer to hiring Hawkins over Petersen.

Hawkins is the only guy on the national scene that I think UT could get and who would have a high probability of success.
He has proven he can win the big game over and over. Peterson has demonstrated that he can win with Hawkins team but since then that he can beat up on the little sisters in the WAC but can't win the big game.
Want to see what Peterson would look like as UT's HC, study the career of Dirk Koetter at ASU.
Dirk Koetter is the coach who turned Boise St around, Hawkins built on that, and now Petersen has continued to build on that.
Hawkins=recruiter, motivator. He has an unusual view on life and Boulder is the perfect town for him. He has a personality suited to surviving in the SEC.
Petersen=gameday coach, game planner, motivator. He was the brains behind Hawkins personality.
Hawkins is the better recruiter, Petersen is the better coach.
If I had to choose between the two I would take Petersen...why trade a recruiter who isn't a great gameday coach(Fulmer) for more of the same.
Just my $.02
Point of interest- You should have heard the people in Idaho scream when they raised Koetter's salary to $130,000 in '99. "He makes more than the governor!!!!" My reply was "$130,000 a game?"
