I guess the honest answer is that I'm not on the "fire Burman" bandwagon. He's got a tough job. He has to, just to name a few things, run a clean athletic department, deal with one zillion NCAA rules, supervise the academic/athletic interaction, so that our student-athletes graduate with ...

The problem is, waiting is not an option. There will be a line drawn in the sand soon and we will have to be on the right side of it. We're clowning on the FCS fans that have shown up here post-Bohl hire, but the fact is the P5 will form their own division and leave the MWCs and MACs of the world i...

Meh, I've been called a lot worse than jerk

Yes. If there are issues other than HC, then I assumed a logical decision would be to try to fix those.

Honest question, do you think our only problem is the HC?

Went with the status quo? He fires a guy, pays him like $600K to get rid of him. He hires a good coach, and gave that coach what he wanted. Maybe they'll hire a Nike designer like the report recommended, produce a video for the bus rides, play more hip hop and less Garth Brooks...but, one thing is ...

If I had to bet, 3-5 wins with that schedule and a new system.

It's pretty obvious Burman thinks he can get away with this "Cowboy Tough" PR marketing lingo poop. You know what? It seems to be working on the vast majority of Wyoming fans. Oh well. I know, right? I'm pretty sure we haven't been devoid of toughness but that is the PR stunt that is sell...

Well, if neither Burman, Bohl, nor the assistants know what they want and need, then...well...I guess it's just up to the fans to set the budget, do the hiring, and tell them all what to do. You missed the part where I said that is where a seasoned AD needs to make the correct decision between savi...

This morning I went to the newspaper in Fargo looking to see what they might be saying about Bohl and I read this story http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/420702/group/sports/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - then when looking for something else I read this story http...

I would say the problems with this are that a report was out stating that WYO had to up the ante. Rather than up the ante, Burman appears (if Cup's numbers are right) to have pulled a smoke and mirrors approach rather than fixing the problem. In other words, a very deliberate attempt to mislead the ...

I will say that I think, philosophically, I agree very much with Bohl in the importance of the lines. In the college game and especially the MWC, I think good O and D lines will take you farther than any other unit. I think Bohl emphasizes the lines. My skepticism is that we just haven't been able ...

You need better athletes to run the spread than you do to run the power game. Bohl does not run a power game he runs a west coast passing offense with a power running game. They are a very balanced offense and nothing like Glenn. It is easier to run power with less talent because a lot of it is a m...

16 is perfect. It's only 4 games to the title and only 2 teams will go that far. All the other divisions do it. And yeah, the MWC champ and the MAC Champ probably wouldn't go far this year, but they deserve the chance. Do you like the fact that the entire MWC along with the rest of the G5 is out of...

Did you guys watch the last drive of the Kansas State game? He plays a Tampa 2 defense and a west coast offense. Yeah, they were committed to running the ball, but there was balance to the offense. They had 5 wideout sets, shotgun formation, and a lot of I formation. It is a pro set offense, but do...

Pretty much. With that said, I don't think Sternberg would have been a long-term solution either and no that is not from reading anything

That is my big question as well. Like I said in another thread, I can't think of a smaller FBS program that plays smash mouth football and wins consistently.

If Bohl is hell bent on running a smash mouth football offense only, I don't think we will succeed.

What is the realistic measure of a successful hire? I am looking for the things that the AD has to worry about like ticket sales, average attendance, donations, net profit margin, etc. The AD has to build for the long term and wins at the expense of APR failures, scholarship penalties, or even some...
