I'll attempt to wade into the shades of grey....IMO Vigen did limit the offense. There is absolutely no way to know this for sure....If Wyoming has a great offensive outburst next year, It's just as likely that Bohl's arrangement with his new OC is what led to the increase in production....In this instance...we are back to Bohl being the limiting factor. Ultimately Bohl did what any good leader should do...he stayed loyal..he did not throw anybody under the bus and he gave the people he leads as much opportunity as he possibly was able to. Now, an argument can be made that, in the cutthroat business of college football, some of these virtues come at a price of competitiveness. I would have liked to have seen Bohl send Vigen down the road a year ago (or earlier)...just because that would have sent the message that the output of the offense up to that point was unacceptable. By all accounts they were good friends and I guess I'm glad that Bohl did not have to endanger a personal relationship ... but that does not excuse the product that we all saw on the field. If we have a great year next year....I'll love it ... but right now I believe that Bohl hung on too long to Vigen. That was Bohls fault .... not Vigen's.ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 3:52 pmDo you believe the offense will improve because Vigen is gone? Do you think Vigen was limiting the offensive production? Let's try that. Those questions are about Vigen's role/contributions SPECIFICALLY regardless of what CB did/said/ didn't do, etc.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 3:40 pmIt is a management view. Bohl is the sole decision maker. He most likely could have fired Vigen at any time if he believed that Vigen was holding the offense back. He did not do that. Nor should he have been compelled to do that...because ultimately it is his decision and, if he fails to deliver, he is gone.
@Ragtime...your just never going to be able to manufacture Vigen fans when where is none here..(that I know of)
