Well...lots of coaches (all with massive ego) change their schemes, fire non-productive coordinators, and generally adapt to changing strategies. I don't think his ego is holding him back....it's just plain stubbornness and perhaps literal inability. If he can't change....then he can't change.

Whether you call it ego or being mule-headed the point is that the if Swen is any indication the players are questioning Bohl's coaching philosophy. That does not bode well for being able to recruit and keep talented players on the roster in todays environment.307bball wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 8:00 amWell...lots of coaches (all with massive ego) change their schemes, fire non-productive coordinators, and generally adapt to changing strategies.

To clarify, I think his ego is what keeps him from changing the offense. I’m pretty sure he thinks it’s always someone else’s fault rather than owning the problem.

This absolutely has to take a toll. Imagine being on D and laying it on the line every game, just to deal with the O's 3 and out after 3 and out. Then having Bohl call you out in the press after every loss because you "gave up more points than they should have". It's always the D's fault and he's never taken responsibility for the poop O performance. I GUARANTEE the abysmal O has contributed to multiple players and coaches leaving the program.

Does Swen want a gameplan that gives him less carries? I highly doubt he will find any offense that gives him as many touches.djm19 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 9:21 pmNot sure his whining.

I think what people call ego, bohl sees as issues you can correct. We see a run up the middle that gains no yards. Bohl sees a missed assignment and it would all work. Same for the passing game if not more so. It’s not the passing game. It’s lack of execution. He feels if they just executed, it would work but never wonders why it’s not being executed. It’s stubbornness more than ego.

Right? Swen didn’t like one play call and goes nuclear? Good riddancedjm19 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 9:21 pmNot sure his whining.

Perhaps he values winning, and winning big games when it matters most more than he cares about his stat line.

For example, the Boise game. He had a career night, but he was PISSED when we lost.

This. Runningbacks and o-line have the least to complain about playcalling of any position on this team.djm19 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 9:21 pmNot sure his whining.

IDK, I actually do believe that our punter Ralph Fawaz will enter the portal. He was demoted before the season after being relatively successful as a freshman last year.Adv8RU12 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 4:46 pmAdd the punter to that.Poke in New England wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 3:31 pm This.

Why do you guys keep assuming they care more about how many carries they get than winning when it’s obvious they care more about winning.Poke in New England wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 3:31 pmThis. Runningbacks and o-line have the least to complain about playcalling of any position on this team.

Or you could be Valladay and lose…but get paid…and score 16 touchdowns because your team passes…and you get to not run in stacked boxes with the defense knowing the play call. I don’t blame any offensive player for leaving.

I have no idea what's going on here, but a scroll through Swen's Twitter shows ONLY posts involving Swen. He's not sharing team stuff that doesn't directly mention him, he's not hyping up teammates. It's all about him and him alone.bullbugle307 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 6:21 pm Why do you guys keep assuming they care more about how many carries they get than winning when it’s obvious they care more about winning.
I get a pseudo-team first vibe from the guy.
We have plenty other Pokes and former Pokes who are actively supporting teammates and former teammates...this dude isn't one of em.

I hate Bohl's offense, so I know many will take this wrong, but give me a coach who won't yield to players any day of the week over a coach who panders to the whims of every 19-21 year old.
There is no doubt that at WYO there is a team mentality. You either work, embrace it, and don't quit or you are not seeing the field. One of the things I like about Bohl's teams.
poop, maybe he just showed how he can be resilient in the transfer era. Decimated by the portal and still managed to at least be in Mtn division championship by the end of the season.

I agree. I didn't know the extent of the hissy fit Swen threw at the end of the Boise game until I talked to a buddy last night. Swearing and screaming at players and coaches. You can't have crap like that on a team at any level. If that episode reveals Swen's character and actions when not in public, then his conduct truly is not to the level to be part of the team.ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 6:45 am I hate Bohl's offense, so I know many will take this wrong, but give me a coach who won't yield to players any day of the week over a coach who panders to the whims of every 19-21 year old.
