Associate Athletic Department and Sports Information Director Dave Plati confirmed today that Colorado Football coach Dan Hawkins, through representatives, is currently seeking revision of his contract to consider moral victories in assessing performance toward contract incentives and his continued job as coach of the Buffaloes. Currently, his contract calls for specific additional payments for certain goals met, mostly as number of games won. However, Hawkins is seeking revision to allow for moral victories to be considered as actual victories.
On condition of anonymity, one of Hawkin’s representatives stated that the coach’s current overall record of 18-34 could, with the requested revision, be altered to about .500, or 26-26.
“In keeping with Hawk’s emphasis on personal development and effort, we believe moral victories are just as important as actual victories on the field. Also, numerous actual defeats occurred just because of a few bad bounces, a call here or there, things totally out of Hawk’s control. Under these circumstances, it frankly isn’t fair to judge him based upon on-the-field results. For these reasons, we contend moral victories should count.”
