Hawkins was introduced as head football coach at the University of Colorado on [[December 16]], [[2005]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2261324 | title=Colorado introduces Hawkins as head coach | publisher=ESPN.go.com | author= | date=[[2006-12-19]] | accessdate=2007-03-05}}</ref> Hawkins was signed to a five-year contract paying him [[United States Dollar|$]]900,000 annually with incentives totaling to $1.5 million.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://images.usatoday.com/sports/graphics/coaches_contracts/pdfs/colorado_fb.pdf | title=Employment Agreement Between Dan Hawkins and The Regents of the University of Colorado | date=2006-06-30 | accessdate=2007-03-05 | format=PDF}}</ref> Hawkins took over the Colorado football program from [[Gary Barnett]] who had spent much of his tenure mired in controversy, including events such as a recruiting scandal that allegedly involved luring recruits to the Colorado football team with sex and alcohol.
Hawkins earned national attention in February 2007 during the [[National Signing Day]] press conference after he passionately expressed his disappointment in the attitude of a player's parent who had complained about the reduction in the players' time off before the summer condition program started, famously saying "It's Division I football! It's the Big 12! It ain't intramurals!".<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_5237981|title=Hawkins' rant getting plenty of air time | publisher=[[The Denver Post]] |date=[[2007-02-16]] | accessdate=2007-02-22}}</ref>
