mike bohn is a fucking joke too,,,,that idiot was the ad at idaho and spent the majority of his time sending out resumes (not that i can blame him, university of idaho is where people typically go to die)
figure it would be somebody like cu that would hire that fucking gene splice

Bohn is a PR toady. he's all marketing. his history of coaching hires has been outright terrible (so maybe Hawk wasn't such a mindbender). he's righted the ship with CU fans by 1. the serendipitous Pac 10 move when CU's men's revenue sports were at their worst combined since the late 70's....kind of fell into his lap and CU peeps have been dreaming about the Pac for decades. 2. getting lucky so far with the Tad Boyle hoops hire (i like Boyle but he's coached one year and was 40 miles away at U of Northern Colorado (budget hire) and 3. cozying up to the old-timey McCartney boosters by hiring Jon Embree this time when the CU job wasn't getting much top level interest....which got them off his back for the colossal Hawkins failure by casting his fate with their desperate need for nostalgia and Bill Mac idol worship....instead of being the "guy who hired Hawkins". pretty shrewd move because he was on his last legs and this sort of saves his job, but remains to be seen how it will play out.

I thought the Embree hire was a joke. More nostalgia gone mad that even the John Blake hire. no other school in the US was interested in the guy (TE coach for the Skins)....and he got jumped at UCLA for the OC job under his buddy (!) Karl Dorrell. but, he's saying all the right things and put together a solid staff. they have a nice jump on recruiting as well....signing a 4* QB out of Cali and actually finished off last year's class respectably. so, who knows?
