The No. 1 reason I believe he will succeed is because it sounds like he truly truly wants to be here. Sounds like Wyoming is about the only place he would of left Florida for. That my friends is a very, very good sign.
Congrats.
I predict Coach Shyatt will succeed.

That plus his rumored associate coach is a stud recruiter with a lot of experience and connections in the West.
The gators having nothing but nice things to say about Shyatt on their forum. Some of the comments about laramie are rather entertaining (better watch out for that state income tax in Wyoming Larry

If he can bring Wyoming basketball back I will be glad to eat crow but right now I am not impressed with the rehire at all.
He does have a better overall record as a head coach than many that have been here at Wyoming but it is still a losing record. He is 89-93 in six seasons as a head coach. Again I hope he is great here in Laramie but I will not get that excited until I see a couple of things from him.
1. He sticks around this time. All coaches sound excited when they are announced at a new school but he proved 13 years ago he will leave Wyoming quickly and I still think he mat do it again. I mean it was not a pretty break up the first time.
2. Wins, Sorry I get excited about wins and if he wins I will be happy and then will be his biggest fan.
I hope he does great here in Laramie and retires a Cowboy but I will hold my applause for him until he proves me wrong. Again when he does prove me wrong I will be glad to eat crow and will be his biggest fan!!!

And that I have to agree with, he has caused something the Wyoming mens Bball program has not seen in a while...
