University of Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn announced Tuesday that the school and head football coach Dan Hawkins have agreed to a two-year contract extension which will lengthen the partnership between the two parties through the 2012 season.
“Dan has consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, dedication, integrity and commitment to not only the football program but to the entire university,” Bohn said. “We look forward to his continued leadership in building an athletic program to match the world class status of our institution."
Hawkins, a third-year head coach, signed his first CU contract prior to the 2006 season. It was a five-year, $4.25 million deal, not including incentive compensation for academic progress, student citizenship and community outreach, along with various performance incentives (for bowl appearances and championships), that will end on December 31, 2010.
The new contract has a guaranteed compensation package of nearly $1 million for the current fiscal year, not including certain performance incentives. He can add up bonuses to that amount if the Buffaloes will make it to the Big 12 title game, win the league and national titles, earn bowl berths, or if he will be named as the conference or the national coach of the year.
