You have to wonder what happened to the guy. He has basically bounced around from place to place and I think was an offensive coordinator at Utah one season and that has been the extent of his coordinator positions since leaving Wyoming.
The guy was the Nations best offensive coordinator and considered one of the greatest minds on the offensive side of the ball. How do you go from that to not being able to keep a job for a couple of years.

I think what happened to him, was himself. He is an asshole to everyone...his fellow coaches, players, fans, administrators, etc.pokefanchaz7 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 5:14 am You have to wonder what happened to the guy.

Ebarrassing that the UW staff that hired him, couldn't see his true colors. When I first met him, it took me 2 minutes to figure out what kind of guy he is.
Dear Karma,
I have a list of people you missed...

I'd say he is a pretty good coach, but part of coaching is having some personality and caring for your team and players. He knows the spread well. It is too bad that he is such a jerk.McPeachy wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 8:45 amI think what happened to him, was himself.

How the hell did he recruit anyone to Wyoming? I know if he had walked into my house recruiting one of my kids, I'd probably kick him out after a few minutes.
He was at least somewhat involved in some good things. He made the kid whose mom had just died and was struggling with a terminal disease an honary part of the team. He was also generous with tickets( side passes )to families that were experiencing a personal tradegies.
I appreciated him calling out howdy doody as well.

a majority of Christensen's players here at Wyo loved him. The guy knows offense. He'll be an OL coach under Herm - hes trying to find the right fit to elevate to OC. Coordinators and Position coaches bounce around all the time.

Interesting fit.
Herm Edwards comes off as one of the most likeable guys and Christensen the exact opposite.

Christensen is a spread guy with an ego. Bohl is a pro-style guy that doesn't seem to put up with 'me first' egos very well. No way that would ever work.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 3:48 pmAt this point I'd welcome Christensen back as OC with open arms! never thought I'd say thatwyopoke123 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 3:18 pm a majority of Christensen's players here at Wyo loved him.

I know dozens of players that played for DC at Wyoming and everyone of them say he is a total asshole. I've met him a couple times and I say he is a total asshole. But he was good at recruiting or finding talent. That I'll give him. Head Coach to OL Coach, what a dick.wyopoke123 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 3:18 pm a majority of Christensen's players here at Wyo loved him. The guy knows offense.

Not so much at coaching them up though. Or making in-game adjustments.

Yeah. Makes me wonder how Pinkel and company at Missouri reacted when he left for here.

I think you may be misinformed a bit. I don't know of ANY players that thought fondly of the son-of-a-bitch. And if he knows offense, my opinion of course, he wouldn't have been unemployed the last 2 years, and been fired from 3 jobs the last 8 years. Either way, he can suck it.wyopoke123 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 3:18 pm a majority of Christensen's players here at Wyo loved him. The guy knows offense.

Sorry - couldn't help it. Wish someone would pay me a million dollars a year to be a prick then fire me 4 years later .....
Totally agree. He has had an average offensive statistical career as a HC and a OC, with a few abnormal years during the Chase Daniel era. Take out those couple Chase years and he falls from the middle of the pack into the bottom half of OCs. I don't see his career bouncing around so much as doing a death spiral. He's back to where he started 27 years ago, an OL coach. He's been lucky and stepped in poop a few times; latching on to Pinkel, Chase showing up, a desperate Wyoming team offering him the top position and even Herm throwing him a bone.McPeachy wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2017 10:27 amI think you may be misinformed a bit.

Regarding Tashaun from a previous post, when DC was finally fired, T posted a pic of himself in a Wyoming shirt with the statement that he can wear it again with pride. He's still a big fan of the university and the team. DC, not so much...
