The odds are stacked heavily against Mr. Bohl right now. Will Wyoming go 0-12 ? I think they will they are the worst team in FBS.
Al Golden won a total of 5 games in his first two seasons at Temple. Won 17 games in Years 4 and 5.
I am not saying limit the requirements. He will still get another two years probably on top of the first 2 but I am just saying show me a coach who actually not only got worse from his first year to his 2nd year but actually didn't win even one single game and then turned it around by year 5 or 6? I don't think there is a case for it.
So you need proof? In your eyes were already 0-12. And I'm sure in a short 20 year time span this probably hasn't occurred. Not sure what your looking for here? Hope? Proof? So what do we do? Do we hope that Bohl will be the first coach to perform this feat? Or do we can him now or in two years and do it again, and again, and again?
The only thing I hope is we don't shoot ourselves in the foot too soon. Koenning is NOT the guy that killed our program. Dimels lack of recruiting for three years was. Koenning had to come in and start with a extremely young team. The wins didn't come... BUT he did progress, from getting Blown out in years one and two, to losing 6 or 7 games by a td or less. We cut him lose the year before he could take HIS seniors to success. Glenn underachieved with a senior heavy team. It's my opinion: but I really think Koenning would have had 6 + wins in Bramlet's, Floyd's, McGuffey's, and Vines last year. But we want something better and went with a "Champion" Glenn and who gave us a 4-8 year.
I have a feeling that Bohl is going to rebuild this program and we will cut him loose too soon and give the reigns to somebody else who will underachieve with Bohls talent.
