Honesty would be admitting he doesn't have a f-word clue how to put together a passing game as a HC.

Little of A and a little of B in my opinion. Does anybody think WIlliams or Chambers had a bunch of throwing potential? I don't. I think it's absolutely true that the ability of the guy under center makes a difference in how you structure an offense.bullbugle307 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 10:55 amYou took that exactly how he wanted you to.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 8:35 amBohl speaks the truth.

Is it true that Bohl could have chosen his words more carefully? Maybe taken more ownership of the offensive problems? ...by the way problems that predate either Chambers or Williams. Yep that is true as well.
And can we put a moratorium on the inferiority complex that compels us to assign malice every time a player decides to transfer? My money is that none of them ever said "screw you" to Wyoming or implied it. There has got to be a better way to conceptualize the player movement than just blaming the players.
f-word duh. That’s what happens when you recruit QBs based on build and running ability while basically completely ignoring things like, you know, how well they see the field and throw a ball.

Few men could stand that kind of battering without bleeding from the nose, and most became nauseated as well. Ol' Steamboat put some of the toughest into the hospital for repairs."

If you look at this you would think he was a pretty good QB to sign. I don’t think the problem is just the QB.

Are you seriously implying that Bohl is getting fired if we go 7-6 and win a bowl game?
The passing game is a black eye for sure and losing to the crappy teams sucks but you’re high if you think beating csu and going 6-6 is getting him fired

I'm not implying that if we go 7-6 and win a bowl game he'll get fired. I'm saying if the team underperforms to the level that they did last season he's gone. Expectations are not high this year. I HIGHLY doubt there's going to be statements like "this is the deepest team I've ever coached" or the like. Expectations will be a 7ish win season. If we win 4 games he's gone.

Those expecting 7 wins are off their rocker. You don’t lose all your skill position talent and half your defensive starters to the portal and expect any kind of bowl team performance. It’s just not realistic.WYO1016 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 9:10 amI'm not implying that if we go 7-6 and win a bowl game he'll get fired.

Looking back at the title of the thread "What is Bohl's fault and what is not."
Well, it is all his fault, his successes and his failures. He is the CEO of Wyoming Football, and it all starts & stops with him.
I am not a fan of making excuses for the lack of success of our football program, especially when it comes to coaches and administrators.

If we go 7-6 and 2-6 in the conference again, then he should get fired. We've had a losing conference record more often than not under Bohl. Time to move on.laxwyo wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 8:50 amAre you seriously implying that Bohl is getting fired if we go 7-6 and win a bowl game?

I'm curious ... Some of you seem to want a few wins so much that you accept the fact that "a few wins" will keep Bohl at UW. Do any of you wish that we'd have a really bad season, and Bohl would get the axe? I have no opinion either way. I'm just curious.

I hope we go undefeated every year just like every Wyoming fan should. If someone really wants Wyoming to tank then they are not a Wyoming fan plain and simple.
Unfortunately, I have a hard time seeing a lot of success next year. But I'll be damn glad if I am wrong.

Bohl and company have done a good job in developing the defense. Offense has been touch and go. Yes, Josh is damn special. And he had talent and drive from the moment he stepped on that field. But his development was lackluster. Brian Hill set all kinds of rushing records here. But outside of being a pass blocker, he did almost nothing in the passing game here. And he's had to jump from one team to another in the NFL. WR and TE are similar.
Even our 2016 team, of the offensive stars from that, only Josh and Chase Roullier are starters (consistently).
So, offense is lacking in development, especially compared to the defense. So, yeah. Offense really has issues that need to be looked at.
