thought they couldn't afford to buy him out...
BOULDER - It was the news many people had been expecting: Dan Hawkins fired from his position as the head football coach of the University of Colorado Buffaloes.
9News learned about CU's decision Monday night. It came after the Buffs had a massive collapse in the fourth-quarter Saturday, the biggest in Colorado history. CU gave up 35 points to the Kansas Jayhawks to erase a 45-17 lead.
The Buff-aloes are 3-6 this season and 0-5 in the Big 12, the last time the team will play in the Big 12 because it joins the Pac 12 next season. The Buffs have also lost 17 straight road games. If the Buffs had won, it would have been their first road win since 2007.
CU Athletic Director Mike Bohn had reportedly planned to wait until after the season ended to terminate Hawkins, but the collapse in Kansas forced his hand. He told Hawkins on Monday that he was fired, effective immediately.
In his time with CU, Hawkins accumulated a record of only 19-39.
Associate Head Coach Ryan Cabral will take over as interim head coach while the school runs a national search for Hawkins' replacement.
Hawkins' son, Cody Hawkins, will remain as the Buffs' quarterback. He is the only healthy quarterback on the roster because Tyler Hansen is recovering from a hard hit that hospitalized him two weeks ago.
