The University of Colorado head football coach Dan Hawkins came out early this week with a press conference. As the clip below explains Hawkins isn't too happy with an anonymous letter he received from a Buffalo parent. The parent wants Hawkins to give the players more time off. Hawkins goes on in the clip by stressing that this is a Division 1 program. I'm here to agree with Hawkins 100%. It is division 1 and not only that but CU plays in the Big 12, with the likes of Texas and Oklahoma. The university saves this parent over $100,000 for their son's education and they are trying to get their son more time off. It almost seems like a joke and to see Hawkins go off is quite funny and will be stored in the archives of ESPN for a long time.
The thing I didn’t like by listening to this take over fives times, is Hawkins needs to understand a key lesson of time and place. It does no good for screaming at a press conference. Yes he is a very intense and competitive person but as the face of the program he cannot loose his cool on an anonymous letter from a parent. Anyway below is the sound bite so enjoy:
