After this season...

These next two weeks could make or break DC I think.
We all talked about how this year was the make or break, but these 2 games are going to be big time determining factors for DC.
2-0 and DC is here for a long while (assuming we don't lose to Hawaii AND utah state)
1-1 and DC is here for another season (assuming we win 1 of the final 2 games)
0-2 and DC better hope he wins the final 2 games to go to a bowl or he might be gone.
 
Realism suggests Wyoming wins one more game: Hawaii. Does that get him one more year? Some people felt this year was his "get your shit together" season.
 
I think it's this game today. A win versus a top 25 team on ESPN2, and I think DC is safe. I think the car salesman's on a shorter leash. My gut says it's a bowl game or he's gone.
 
I would have to agree with McPeachy I think that DC gets next year as long as we don't lose all 4. I think he gets another shot with a new DC out there next year and the fact we have a top 10 offense, so if we can find a decent DC we got a chance at being a very good team. I would say that Burman is on the shorter leash and he is more likely to be fired, then the new AD would have to make the decisions about the coaching staff. Just my gut instincts there though.

The issue though, is that if Burman is on a short leash, he is going to do what he can to extend his leash. And that might be firing DC before he himself gets fired.

I agree, but I don't think that Burman will get to hire the next coach.
 
Improvement on D will play a large role too. I think even if we go 1-3 in the last four if we play hard and the D is improved he gets next year. The new AD will have the year to evaluate DC and decided if he wants to keep him or make his own hire.

Exactly my thoughts

If this is true, I will be disappointed. Wins against Idaho, UNC, the worst Air force team in 30 years, and an awful New mexico team gets DC another year? Hawaii is winless.

I think DC has to go if we finish 1-3. I don't care if we lose all 3 by 1 point. The last 2 years have been a huge step backward. The loss to Cal poly last year and the humiliation by csewe this year should end his stay at Wyo.. In his 5 years, we don't have a single signature win against a quality team. Frankly, I don't have great hopes tonight. I'm just hoping not to freeze to death.

You continue to say how much DC sucks...yet he has taken us to 2 bowls in 4 years...and just needs to go 2-2 the rest of this season to get us to our 3rd bowl in 5 years. Just saying.

To me, making a bowl on a 6-6 record is not a great achievement. However, I guess if you compare him to prior Wyo. coaches, maybe he's the best we can do. Further, I don't continue to say how much DC sucks. I'm pointing out that all of our wins this year are against awful teams. You make some pretty silly conclusions.

If your happy with DC, that's fine. But at least recognize we have not beat even a remotely decent team this year, or last.

Do you forget that we got blasted by TEMPLE in the last one we played in? It's fucking Temple for Christ sake! Don't even get started on our loss to Cal Poly! If we tonight, I'll be happy about it. But to take a page from the book "The Art of War" by Sun Tzi. Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.

Holy shit man calm it down. All I said was he is 2 wins away from 3 bowls in 5 seasons. If you pay attention to what I say on here, you would know that I am losing faith in DC quickly, and tonight is his time to prove us all wrong. Instead of just looking to see that BeaverPoke posted something so you can yell and scream maybe read what I say?

And yeah that Temple game sucks, but you do realize that RB who ran all over us has a superbowl ring already? And some of those O-Linemen from that Temple team are in the league as well.
I'm not saying "They had future NFL guys so obviously we should have lost" I am saying "Don't just scream TEMPLE TEMPLE TEMPLE it was TEMPLE when really, that team had quite a bit of NFL talent on it.".

And the Cal Poly thing....here's a little secret Wyokie....you aren't the only person that got upset about losing to an FCS school. It sucked, yeah but oh well, it happened. Again, I am not defending DC, as I have already said tonight is one of his last chances to get a big time win and fix this situation.

First off, sorry. I misread your post. Sarcasm is hard to read on a message board.

And yeah that Temple game sucks, but you do realize that RB who ran all over us has a superbowl ring already? And some of those O-Linemen from that Temple team are in the league as well.

It's TEMPLE for Christ's sake. They aren't a name school like Nebraska, or Wisconsin, or USC. Besides the ONLY NFLer anybody remembers that went to Temple was Joe Klecko of the New York Jets. Remember him?

And the Cal Poly thing....here's a little secret Wyokie....you aren't the only person that got upset about losing to an FCS school. It sucked, yeah but oh well, it happened. Again, I am not defending DC, as I have already said tonight is one of his last chances to get a big time win and fix this situation.

Again, my apologizes. STILL PISSED at that game!!!! :tickedoff:

Thank you. I couldn't remember the exact quote but you all probably got the point.
