The season has mercifully come to an end for Wyoming football. I decided to use caution and not write about this 4-8 season right away as\u00a0disappointment would have clouded my reasoning. Even today I’m not going to lay my thoughts out, as I only wish to provoke thought on the future of this program. To accomplish this I am going to\u00a0provide the accomplishments of three recent Wyoming football coaches in their first four seasons at the helm. The factors given to compare are pretty simple, winning percentage, significant wins, and average score. Winning percentage and average score are straight mathematical computations and the only subjective criteria is significant wins. I considered a significant win to be any of the following: a win over a school currently in a BCS conference, a win over a ranked team, a win over an eventual conference champion, a win over any of our main WAC\/MWC rivals (Air Force, BYU, CSU, Utah), and any bowl game win.<\/p>\n
With that criteria in mind let’s go on to the blind taste test!<\/p>\n

It was the next two years after the initial four that defined\u00a0Tiller and Glenn and we all know how that\u00a0ended up.\u00a0Tiller had a record of\u00a016 and\u00a07\u00a0getting to the WAC title game before heading to Purdue, while Glenn went\u00a09 and\u00a015 and ended up being fired. What path will Christensen take? We will find out in the next two years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The season has mercifully come to an end for Wyoming football.
