CU Ends Speculation: Hawkins To Keep Coaching Job

BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) ― Dan Hawkins will keep his head coaching job for another season. University of Colorado Buffaloes athletic director Mike Bohn made the official announcement Thursday morning.

The Buffs football team have struggled since Hawkins replaced Gary Barnett in 2006. They've played in only one bowl game and have compiled a 16-32 record including a 2-19 record on the road.

Speculation about Hawkins' job status ran wild in recent weeks.

"With questions about Hawkins' future mounting from CU supporters, the media and the public related to CU's 3-8 record this season, Bohn wanted to end speculation and reiterate what he has maintained all along: that Hawkins is and will remain CU's coach," an official news release from the athletic department stated.

CU-Boulder Chancellor Dr. Phil DiStefano and Bohn told the players on Thursday, which is preparing for Friday's game against Nebraska at Folsom Field at 1:30 p.m.

"We continue to have candid, constructive discussions with each other, with campus leadership and with related constituents to review all aspects of the football program. We recognize the importance of continuity to reach our desired competitive results. We have made progress on many fronts, but fully realize the importance of improvement and growth of the program in all areas," said Bohn in a prepared statement.

The coach's contract runs through the 2012 season.
