Dear Kennar,
Thank you for writing me regarding CU Athletic Director Mike Bohn’s decision to honor the contract of CU head coach Dan Hawkins next year. I support this decision because I believe it is in the best interests of the University of Colorado at Boulder, and because I believe making a coaching change now would take us further from, not closer to, our goals for CU football. I want you to know I have heard your perspective clearly and have considered it alongside other factors in supporting Mike’s decision. I also want you to know we have communicated our expectations to coach Hawkins, and informed him we expect more immediate progress in CU’s return to excellence on the field. Now we are asking both critics and supporters of this decision to unite to support the University, the Buffs and coach Hawkins, as we work together to get CU football on track. CU’s own history shows that when are united in this manner, great things happen on and off the field. Thank you again for writing me.
Sincerely,
Philip P. DiStefano, chancellor
University of Colorado at Boulder
