I am curious why you guys hate Burman so much on this board. He has been the one to make much needed renovations of the War and pretty soon the AA, which I may add will make it one of the top facilities in the region. He hired Branch that made wrestling a power, volleyball has become a constant 20 win program. Basketball he had an absolute terrible hire with Schroyer, but in most peoples opinions here he made up for it with the hire of Shyatt, which will only get better in recruiting with the new arena. He made a bad decision hiring Glenn in football, but at the time he looked like a good guy to hire since he had a power at Montana. The DC hire was the best one at the time since he was the unquestioned best OC in the nation. I know there has been a lot of complaint about Burman on here and his lack of innovation, but how much of that is due to the small budget that he has to work with? Football would probably be in much better shape if we had more money to hire good coordinators. If we didn't have Shyatt with such great connections and people that just want to work with a fantastic coach his staff would be no where near as good with our lack of money. I think that Burman does a decent job under limited circumstances with the lack of an athletic budget. He has done a good job improving facilities, and has gotten some good coaches in here and has most programs winning games. I am just curious as to if you guys think it is really Burman or more of a lack of a budget that he has to work with as well as the tough job to get coaches who want to coach and live in Laramie, WY?
