2 seasons is enough.
After 2 seasons at Wyoming, head coaches typically show what they will do throughout the rest of their time at Wyoming- whether it is good or bad.
I went through a lot of Wyoming football records throughout the last 68 years.
I looked at all 16 coaches from the 1947 season which was Bowden Wyatt's first at Wyoming through Dave Christensen's final season in 2013.
I looked at the average amount of wins per season for the first 2 years, and compared that to the average amount of wins throughout their duration in Laramie.
Here are the results:
COACH---1st 2 seasons average---average at UW
Christensen---5---5.4
Glenn---5.5---5
Koenning---1.5---1.67
Dimel---7.5---7.33
Tiller---4.5---6.5
Roach---10.5---8.75
*Erickson---6---6
Kincaid---6.5---5.8
*Dye---6---6
Lewis---4.5---4.33
**Akers---5---5
Shurmur---4.5---4.75
Eaton---5.5---6.33
Devaney---6---7
Dickens---5.5---7.25
Wyatt---4---6.5
*only coached for 1 season
**only coached for 2 seasons
Of the 16 coaches listed above, 3 were here for either 1 or 2 seasons, but only 4 coaches left Laramie with a wins-per-season average where the difference, was greater than 1 compared to the first 2 seasons at Wyo.
Of those 4 coaches (Wyatt, Dickens, Roach, Tiller), 3 left with an improvement compared to their first 2 years, and Roach's mark showed regression by the time he left compared to the first 2 years.
And of the 3 who improved, 2 of them were before 1957.
Meaning there is only 1 coach out of 13 possible candidates that showed improvement by more than 1 game, when looking at their average-wins-per-season VS their first two years average-wins-per-season.
Now moving to Bohl.
4 wins in 2014
2 wins in 2015
First 2 years average of 3 wins per season.
Will Bohl stay true to the theory and leave Wyoming with an average of between 2 and 4 wins?
Or will he be like Tiller and improve on it?
I doubt Bohl leaves Wyoming with an average of under 2 per season.
Thoughts?
