Dan Hawkins First media interview

Missed that, thanks! Wonder when they hit him with the other foul words?!

Right into the fire … gotta love this town. :wink:

There is a Video on CJAD. Abe Hefter with Dan Hawkins.

He has a kind and honest heart. I think he will do very well. Hard not to like the guy.

He's done more one one on one interviews in 48 hours than Trestman did in five years in Montreal... That will help the organization tremendously.

Faut pas en vouloir à Trestman : son modèle était Jacques Martin. Et encore, il ne comprenait pas ce qu’il disait…

Hopefully these: Premier essai Montreal!

Loved the interview. Wonder if his daughter was feeding him the translation of the questions? Smart way to do it, allowed the show to flow more than question and answer in English then a longer French summary

My dad a 5 minute talk with Maciocia today at the provincial women’s hockey championship final at mcgill ( carabins beat mcgill 2-1). He was actually relieved not to be the als HC saying that he’s been 14 years in the league and every fan base expects to win the grey cup each year.

it would appear the als will start june 27 in winnipeg which is good for dan. less pressure starting on the road.

C’est bon pour les Alouettes aussi : ce n’est pas payant de jouer à Montréal pendant le “Festival international de n’importe quoi avec aussi un peu de jazz”.

Could go either way it is the first game at the Bombers new stadium, there’s bound to be a bunch of ceremonies and ribbon BS. It will be a zoo. Maybe the Als get lucky and the press will be so busy with the Bombers and their new stadium we can kind of sneak in and out :slight_smile:

He coached on the two best organizations in the CFL so that makes sense.

it also looks like bc 2014 grey cup will happen. 2013 schedule should be out tomorrow.

Mon aîné m'a dit que la campagne de dénigrement de Hawkins avait commencé sur TSN. Pas dans les articles mais dans les commentaires des supporteurs.

J'y ai vu un certain dannymac99. Je sais pas pourquoi, mais je ne peux m'empêcher de me demander qui ça peut être? :?

You get to know Hawkins a little more with Didier`s RDS interview yesterday:

He seems aware of what he has to accomplish as well as potential pitfalls. But obviously time will tell if he actually succeeds. The key will be players buying in to him and how he handles any inevitable adversity.

Its the same every time Jim Popp makes some changes. Its wishful thinking. Especially Hamilton and Winnipeg fans. We’ve beaten them so much over the years, they are traumatized.

Coach Hawkins est un taquin. Nous avions des chandails #13, #86,#18 et rétro #23. Il nous a reproché, alors que nous jasions avec LBJ, de ne pas avoir de #58... Je lui en résreve une bonne.

Surprise, surprise, TSN treating us like persona non grata when it comes to media coverage. Brand-new coaching staff from top to bottom but apparently it's more productive to talk about the possibility of Buck Pierce staying healthy... :lol:

There are seven video clips on RDS. Didine has been working hard. Also caught a glimpse of Charles Andre Marchand conducting interviews.

I expect RDS to have stuff. It’s just annoying to be relegated only to French-language coverage. Because apparently only francophones are Als fans? :thdn:

The June 13 Hamilton pre-season game originally scheduled for TSN also, will only be on RDS.
