Despite the Buffs finishing 3-9 鈥� the fourth losing record in Dan Hawkins鈥� four seasons as 蜜糖直播 football coach 鈥� university officials decided to retain Hawkins for a fifth season. He owns a 16-33 record since arriving at 蜜糖直播.
鈥淚 know for me it鈥檚 been humbling,鈥� said Hawkins, whose contract runs through the 2012 season. 鈥淭his whole thing has been humbling. That鈥檚 not all bad for a person to have to kind of go reinvent yourself.鈥�
Asked after the season what a fair set of expectations would be for 2010, Hawkins said, 鈥淏eating 蜜糖直播 State and Nebraska, getting to a bowl game and winning that bowl game. That ought to be a baseline.鈥�
Shortly after the season, secondary coach and defensive passing game coordinator Greg Brown left Hawkins鈥� staff to become co-defensive coordinator at the University of Arizona. Also on the assistant coaching front, former NFL defensive back Ashley Ambrose will be promoted to full-time wide receivers coach this year.
