Lean In Real Close, Cuz He's About to Scream

Poor Dan Hawkins. The man is under a lot of pressure. The team he used to coach — the Boise State Broncos — capped off an undefeated season with a win over Oklahoma in one of the most exciting bowl games ever played. Hawkins's new team — the Colorado Buffaloes — capped off a miserable 2-10 2006 with a 37-14 drubbing at the hands of their rival Nebraska. Some have begun to wonder aloud if current Boise State coach / former offensive coordinator Chris Petersen was the real brains behind Boise's success. And from the sounds of this Denny Green/Jim Mora-like clip, Hawkins is starting to feel the strain. (Wait for it — he abruptly goes batshit about 90 seconds in.) -- John Nova Lomax
