Dan Hawkins Is So Fired (Unless He’s Not)

The promised “ten wins, no excuses” season never materialized at Colorado, and as unrealistic as that Dan Hawkins vow was, it’s nowhere near as ludicrous as the expectation that he might be the Buffs’ head coach come 2010. Only now it seems he’s not prepared to go quietly, if at all. Take it away, Ralphie Report:

↵↵It looks like University of Colorado Athletic Director Mike Bohn has heard enough and will make an “an official announcement about the football coaching situation” Thursday ... the AD will catch a flight home late tonight and sit down with Dan Hawkins tomorrow to discuss his future.

↵This announcement is just hours after the University of Colorado went public with their dispute of Vic Lombardi’s report that Dan Hawkins and Chancellor Phil DiStefano came to an agreement that Hawkins will be retained as head coach for the 2010 - 2011 season.
↵Sounds like things are getting a mite testy up in the Rockies. If you happen to be at loose ends after gorging yourselves tomorrow and somehow unsatisfied with your own family dramas, just tune in and refresh the site constantly for any news of Dan Hawkins’ job status! It’s what Ralphie would want.
