How did Tom Burman make this hire?
Larry Shyatt gave Allen Edwards his stamp of approval.
I guess when a coach is leaving, and no matter how good
he is, he has a tendency to want to help the coach
and not necessarily the school. I think this is what happened
here.
So, will the next hire have to be a seasoned veteran or someone
who's career is on a strong upward trend? A proven recruiter
will be needed to pull this plane wreck out of a nose dive.
No more 'good ole boy' hires.
So how did the Pokes get into this coaching mess?

Best thing to do is to watch the best performing coaches in the Sunbelt, MAC, AAC, C-USA, and FCS conferences. Look for coaches that have at least 3 seasons and a better than .500 record making less than $500k/ year who are currently at or better than their best season at that program. D2 coaches who've been consistent contenders for National Championships should also be given a look.
Get pictures of them walking into a massage parlor or titty bar, or put a horse's head in bed with them. From there, the rest is easy...

Or, as Benny Dees once joked regarding how he got such good players to come to Wyoming: " We take em to Denver and tell them it's Laramie". Not trying to make light of a terrible situation but I really don''t think our AD and other higher ups give a rat's ass about the BB program. If they did, we would have had a new coach this year.Wyovanian wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 5:32 pmBest thing to do is to watch the best performing coaches in the Sunbelt, MAC, AAC, C-USA, and FCS conferences.

By not spending $ on a coach knowing how to do so. This may take us years to get outta this mess, unfortunately. Hey Burman next one you hire needs at least 5 years HC experience no excuses. Get it done and do the right thing
