A lot of things were revealed in the last month on many, many fronts. And it became clear to me it was time to make a change. |
All I'll say is that we're going to talk about the future. |
Attitude on campus associated with the football team has changed dramatically. That all starts with Dan Hawkins. As you get a chance to hear from him and meet him, you will see why that is. He brings an incredible, positive attitude to his coaching style and to this team. He pushes the players in a different way. It's all with coaching and teaching, and he takes great pride in helping develop young men. He loves our kids. |
Clearly, the history of the game and the competitiveness of the game is a great thing. And to put it in this venue is an added plus. |
Coach Hawkins represents a level competitive spirit, integrity, work ethic and passion that will serve this institution, football program and entire athletic department well for many years to come. This is an exciting time at the University of Colorado and he is the perfect fit for what we were looking for. |
Dan Hawkins is the type of coach who represents virtually every expectation that I outlined. We will be well on our way to restoring a sense of pride in the Golden Buffaloes. |
Hisco represents exactly the characteristic of business that we must find and inspire to be a part of our program, |
I don't know about that. It's inappropriate for me to comment at this time. |
I don't think that's likely. |
I don't think there's any question we are talking about a bright future here. |
I don't worry about it. |
I think for you, for everybody, it's just mere speculation at this point. I've been at meetings and Gary's been fresh off his last game. We'll have an opportunity to sit down and talk about it in the near future. |
I think that's where our sales and marketing efforts come into play. We've got to show people we are dedicated to producing an open, accessible and engaging program. |
I would consider that a significant underdog. |
I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some of that, ... but it is clearly in the minority. |
