I agree with a lot of that. No. 1 is wins and losses and six years in, he’s sub .500.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 4:15 pmThere should be three stats and really only three stats to measure Bohl in terms of him keeping his job: (1) Football success in terms of wins and losses plain and simple; (2) Academic standing and retention of student athletes in the program; and (3) ethics of the program (i.e. not allowing strippers for recruiting visits, not covering for assistants the deed assaulting juveniles, etc...). Outside of these things and if Bohl should fail in these he absolutely should be held accountable.ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 2:28 pmI see we’re back to this BS micromanagement argument. It’s nonsense. Bohl is an employee. He has to answer to someone. Burman ABSOLUTELY should tell him that things need to change on the O side of the ball. If that hurts Bohls feelings he probably should retire. Being a head coach means he has to answer when his team fails. There is no complaint when things go good and he’s getting fat bonuses and extensions and praise. Well the blade cuts both ways, when your teams offense is consistently in the bottom 1/4 of college football, you don’t get to hide from the well earned criticism.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 1:00 pmExcept the posters that have said if Bohl doesn’t make a change he can kick rocks??LanderPoke wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 9:48 pmNo one wants Bohl gone. We want him to make a personnel change, like he has done a few times with great success.
But this where you’re wrong. Telling Bohl you must get rid of Vigen is the same thing as telling Bohl we aren’t going to let you coach the team as you see fit which would almost undoubtedly run him off. Bohl doesn’t need this job plain and simple. Hell if I were in his shoes, at his age and set for life but constantly being bombarded with the negativity, I’d say fine Wyoming have it your way to hire someone else for the job and best of luck to them.
But overall what it should come down to is if Bohl thinks a change is necessary only he should have that say. If he thinks no personnel change is necessary, then he absolutely should have that right too (outside of coaches committing crimes and other questionable personal behavior). And if Bohl’s way leads to the failure of the program, then it is on him. But my money would be on Bohl bringing this program to a place it hasn’t been in a very long time. So all this Bohl must fire Vigen is nonsense.
And if he refuses to make a change with Vigen, there should be serious questions about his future here. He constantly preaches team over the individual. No names on the back of the jersey because the name on the front is most important. Unless it’s dealing with his pal Vigen... the hypocrisy is palpable...
But the boss that tells an employee how he is to do his job (the one he was hired to perform) is the crappy boss and the employee is unlikely to put up with that.
So cool if you are happy with Bohl not agreeing to be micro-managed and leaving...well just accept that it is more likely to mean the next Vic Koenning so folks will be handing out Wildcatter tickets for free in the 2/3 empty stadium. Score I guess for the folks that like that sort of thing.
He’s had three years with winning records, and two years with winning in conference records.
Yeah he’s leaps and bounds beyond any other coach in the last 20+ years, but he’s far from perfect.
