Bout damn time. Dan walks away with the $1.8M remaining on his contract and a 19-39 record for the Buffs, quite a turnaround from the 53-11 record he posted at Boise State.

You could see the vultures circling for miles after the Kansas collapse.

It's amazing you can lose your first game as coach to an FCS team and still find a way to go downhill, but I'll be darned if the Buffs didn't do it.

Immediate dismissal is appropriate after they honked up a 28 point 4th quarter lead against this year's KU team.

Jon Embree will be next CU head football coach, says Bill McCartney
Jon Embree, a man with strong ties to the Colorado football program, will be the school's next head coach, according to Bill McCartney, the legendary former Buffs coach, as well as a source close to the hiring process.
"Take it to the bank and hang your hat on it," McCartney told The Denver Post.
Embree, 45, would be the first African-American head football coach in school history and only the 13th now in Division I-A. He would replace Dan Hawkins, who was fired last month.
"It's a done deal," the source said, adding that only minor details need to be ironed out before a hiring is announced at a formal news conference, which is expected to be held Monday.
Colorado officials, though, denied that there is any agreement. Athletic director Mike Bohn released a statement early Thursday afternoon, soon after The Denver Post posted a story online with McCartney saying Embree was the choice.
