If this really happens, bring Corey Raymond to Laramie as DC!!!
That would be quite the upgrade in salary for that position. As the DB coach at LSU, Raymond makes roughly $327K. As DC at Wyo, Stanard makes about $212K. So in order to get Raymond, you would probably have to offer at LEAST $350K, probably more like $400K+.

And let's be real. What DC could have done any better considering what he had to work with? I'm not saying Stanard is all that and a bag of chips....but for the most part, the cupboard was running out of food. One defensive back with game experience and two true freshman starters. One linebacker with game experience. No depth at DE.....but I"m sure he could have added 25 pounds to Granderson and Prosser.

Yeah, he should have added 25-30lbs to them, nevermind them coming right out of high school.
Yeah. Let me see. If you have the chance to land a young hotshot with a great 4-3 pedigree, excellent recruiting ties, and highly respected at the highest level of football, do you take it or not? <edited b/c wording was a little harsh before>
Actually, I know what most at wyo would choose with 150-200 thousand reasons why we couldn't do any better anyway. Par for the course to be sure.

Oh I would love to land a guy like that, but no way we find the extra $400 K it would cost, 200 to make the salary high enough and another 200 for the OC position unless we don't want anyone better than a glorified QB coach.

This is where my complaints with leadership come in. We need someone with a vision and the intestinal fortitude to withstand criticism associated with being bold. Example, football makes 2 million. We are going to give 1 million of that back to football for salaries. That means we'll have a 3%-5% budget cut for non-revenue sports. This will be a short-term hit as this investment will increase our budget by 2.5 million annually.

LSU gets it right and retains L. Miles. Staff changes likely coming but on the offensive side. Not that there was a chance, but Raymond is likely on LSU staff next year.

Mark Richt at Georgia fired.
Kyle Flood at Rutgers probably fired.
Mike London at Virgnia fired.
Matt Campbell from Toledo is headed to Iowa State
Justin Fuente at Memphis is headed to Virginia Tech.
Richt finishes the year at 9-3, and Georgia dumps him.....similar to Nebraska last year with Pelini, he was 9-3 as well. And here at Wyoming, we just keep trucking along hoping for a .500 season.
What is the difference between politicians and stoners? Politicians don't inhale...they just suck.
USC also gets it right, IMO. Sticks with Helton rather than going for "splash hire". He has already done well there and I think he is a solid hire.
Makes me wonder about Chip Kelly? Maybe he survives another year at Philly, but I don't know. His personnel decisions were a disaster. Maybe his GM-like duties will be revoked and allowed to coach another year?

SC Layed a giant egg. Their AD and his group like hiring all the assistants and having control over the program. So they hire a guy that will likely go 5-4 or 6-3 as an interim coach. This from a program that is a top 5 in all of college football job to have.
When fans from all 11 other teams in your conference are happy about your hire you should know that you didn't do the right thing

Agree to disagree. Helton is 6-2 at the helm, led USC to a bowl win, and salvaged the season from the Sark mess. Pete Carrol had nothing but praise for the hire (granted that I doubt he would criticize it, but he didn't have to say anything either).
I thought SC started playing a lot more physical with Helton in charge. I think they did the exact right thing. My guess is Chip Kelly was a no go and there just weren't any hires out there that they felt like messing with at this point.
The other side of things is that their AD's health may limit is long-term outlook. If he is stepping down soon (within next 2 years), this hire makes even more sense. Let the new AD spend the money for the splash hire if Helton isn't working.
Perfect hire, IMO.
