Not sure I will give a 100% blame to Hawkins on Als bad start. Jim Popp was pushing it when he allowed a rookie HC, rookie OC run the show. It shows because their offense suck this season even though they still have a veteran QB. Yes, Toronto won the Grey Cup last season with a rookie HC Milanovich but his OC been to the league already. Tressman had instant success in Montreal but he too was supported by OC who's been coaching in the CFL. I guess Popp thinks Tressman's magic will rub in on Hawkins.
Anyways, i guess we will not find out if Hawkins could have been a good CFL coach or not now that he's done in the CFL. Not sure any CFL team will hire him as a head coach anytime soon or if ever.
