Re: Thorburn Interview With Burman: details on hiring Sawvell, his contract, vision for the future.

Interesting salary. What do you mean? Structure-wise or amount-wise? It's pretty run of the mill either way. If you're referring to the way the base pay is structured (salary+guarantees), that's actually the way the vast majority of coaching contracts at public universities are technically structur...

Re: Sawvel's Staff

Sawvel said in the press conference that he's going to be hands off on the defense and let the coordinator handle it. Burman confirmed that was the mentality in discussions between he and Sawvell. Also applied to the offensive side of the ball as well. Just reiterates the point that he needs to nai...

Re: Thorburn Interview With Burman: details on hiring Sawvell, his contract, vision for the future.

Good summary, thanks I guess I take Burman at his word that approached the year as if Bohl may be on his way out. But how different does that contingency planning look from a honest-to-goodness coaching search to fill a real vacancy? You're welcome. To be honest, without a known, official vacancy, ...

Thorburn Interview With Burman: details on hiring Sawvell, his contract, vision for the future.

Pretty good interview on the Pokescast podcast that sheds some light on everything: https://omny.fm/shows/pokescast/wyoming-ad-tom-burman-on-craig-bohls-retirement-ja Says he had a pretty good idea over the summer that this might be it for Bohl. Did talk to numerous ADs, watched a lot of football (i...

Re: Jay Sawvel named head coach

Why pay more? 900k base with incentives for success. If he wins, he'd be in the upper half. Literally no other fbs program would hire him for head coach. 900k + potential incentives is more than fair. Firstly, every coach in the MWC has built-in incentives. He wouldn't be the only one hitting them,...

Re: Sawvel's Staff

-Grant needs to be gone immediately.

-I wouldn't shed a tear for Boyd if he was sent packing.

-Sawvell needs to nail the DC hire.

Other than that, I'm good for now. (Yes, I'm even okay with Polasek being given at least a year, for a few reasons.)

Re: Jay Sawvel named head coach

Any word on contract? Better be around 900k. Only two coaches in the entire MWC (Chang and Gonzalez) made less than that this season, come on now. And if a HC is making that much less, then you know the assistant pool is accordingly less. Sometimes I'm glad none of you are ADs; you'd kneecap the pr...

Re: Jay Sawvel named head coach

I've spent the last while mulling it over, talking with quite a few fans (both Wyoming fans and neutral fans), and going back and forth over it. My initial reaction was quite mixed. However...I actually think it'll be alright, and this might've been the right call (or at least a decent one). We're a...

Re: What does December 4th bring…..

We get 2 years of Svboda starting and then Anderson would be slated to take over as Jr and Sr years. To be honest, realistically we can only look at one year at a time right now, because Bohl is gone at potentially any moment now. It's incredibly likely next year is Bohl's last. I agree that would ...

Re: What does December 4th bring…..

I know nothing is a done deal yet but let's assume Maiava from UNLV and Green enter the portal and leave thier respective programs. Those two just played for the conference championship...is there a better argument to run a system that can plug and play anybody at QB? Not sure what that system is.....

Re: Grading Peasley

Peas was basically a much more talented and durable version of Chambers. Great leader, heart and soul of the team, great runner, less than great (but serviceable) passer, showed out in some key moments, took a physical beating but rarely outright broke. He also turned the ball over less than almost ...

Re: Non-WYO Bowl Season

The other hogwash is putting Liberty in the NY6 because "they kept winning" against the 133rd ranked SOS. Pisses me off more than the FSU situation, tbh. Clown school (don't get me started, lol) plays a clown schedule, and is now going to go get demolished by 40 by Oregon's 3rd stringers....

Re: What MWC bowls are not "crap bowl"?

The CW is one of the most easily accessible networks in the country outside of the big three (ABC/NBC/CBS). It amazes me that people are b*tching about that, too.

Some people outright choose to be miserable or make things more complicated than they need to be.

Re: What does December 4th bring…..

I think Svoboda is the real deal and can be as good as any QB could possibly be in our system. We've also brought him along and developed him the right way; I was worried that him being forced to start against Texas might stunt him a bit, but he rose to the occasion. I have zero doubt he's capable o...

Interesting tidbit here that also brings the hammer down on some of the arguments against including FSU (including the "wElL tHeY dOn'T hAvE tHiEr qB"): Out of the top 10 players in college football from championship weekend (as graded by PFF)....four were FSU players. Their QB, obviously,...

Re: MWC, MAC, and Sunbelt

An argument could be made that the MWC hasn't necessarily "fallen"; it's just become the new Conference of Cannibals (usurping the PAC-12s role) due to parity. As for Air Force, I don't know why anyone is surprised. Anyone who was actually paying attention knew they had one of the softest ...

Re: What MWC bowls are not "crap bowl"?

The three people outside of WY and Ohio that actually made the effort to find the game enjoyed the cheap frat boy vibe, I’m sure. Big hit with the fart joke loving crowd.

Mine and a BUNCH of others’ bias. It’s a garbage bowl. Maybe within your own little bubble and the stuffy, stodgy Wyoming fanbase.
