The Montreal Alouettes have reportedly hired Dan Hawkins as their new coach.
Hawkins has been the head football coach for several American schools, including Willamette University, Boise State University, and the University of Colorado.
Most recently he has been a studio analyst for ESPN.
The team will not confirm the appointment, but Montreal Gazette Football Insider Herb Zurkowsky said he has been told by a source of the hiring.
Hawkins's record at Colorado was less-than-stellar, and for the past few months his name has been touted for head coaching positions of the UTEP Miners, San Jose State, and his alma mater Texas A&M.
The rumor mill is also offering up Mike Miller as the offensive co-ordinator for the Als. Miller -- not to be confused with the defensive back for the Edmonton Eskimos -- has been with the Arizona Cardinals since 2007, first as wide receiver coach and later as offensive co-ordinator.
Last month former head coach Marc Trestman left the Alouettes to become the head coach of the NFL's Chicago Bears.
