HC Jay Sawvel Talks about the 2026 Football Season

Jay Sawful can kiss my ass. He will be stealing money from the university for 5 years. Everyone knows he is in way over his head.

I am pissed because this will be another season I won’t be attending any home games due to my intolerance for the ineptitude of the UW coaching staff. I refuse to give them my money and promote failure.

I feel a lot like you.

What's crazy is how immediately evident it was. It was made abundantly evident in his opening game against Arizona State. Yes, Arizona State was a very good football team that was much better than expected...but that Wyoming team would have struggled to beat Sheridan High School that night. I can't a recall a single other time I've seen a Wyoming football team lay down for a beating like that. The players had absolutely no response to getting punched in the mouth...zero fight in them. Sawvel walked the sidelines like a deer in the headlights - he looked confused and didn't have a single answer to the issues we were facing on the field.

I was so embarrassed for the entire State of Wyoming after that performance. Although I wasn't quite ready to admit it, I knew then that Sawvel was never going to turn that ship around.

I feel 100% this same way. I was so painfully and deeply embarrassed. Yeah, ASU was a good team. But there were many predicting an upset. Wasn't the first throw an interception? I recall someone texting me joking that the QB had completed more passes to ASU than to his own team. After all the talking I did...man did I learn a lesson. I've never seen anything like it.

I just watched the Wyoming/BYU WAC championship game. Wyoming's players (while making some mistakes) just plain looked tough as nails. They took it to the #6 ranked team in the country. Should've won that game.....

I was at the last BYU/Wyoming game and it wasn't a whole lot better. I've never forgiven Sawvel for how poorly prepared those teams were. But my god, that ASU game....

And he seems to be preparing for a loss to open the season at CSU. He told the team not to "let the outcome of one game define the season".

No, Jay. You HAVE to win that game. It's a rivalry game against a program that thinks it's better than you. What more motivation do you need? I don't give a shit about beating Northern Colorado or UTEP or NIU. Beat fucking CSU in their own place - no more damn excuses.

Having traveled there, with such high expectations...

Then comes the opening pick 6 from Svoboda, and Fuck Wyoming chants from their awesome student section, maybe one of the worst away games I have attended since the Vic days.

THIS x 1000000000

Yes, Jay, we know Burman fucked you, but you have had this game on the schedule for a year, with a whole spring, summer, and fall to prepare for it.
 
Here's my sleeper pick for perhaps the most unexcusable coaching performance by a Wyoming HC.

In front of an absolutely packed crowd on a stunning November day operating at max excitement because it was JOSH ALLEN JERSEY RETIREMENT DAY against a TERRIBLE Nevada team, Sawvel manages to bring out a team that is so flat they lose and only score 7 points. I mean, honestly it's impressive to take a team that had so much motivation to run through a wall that day, and make them play that terribly. Really something else.
