I was drunk last night and for some reason I started thinking about Wyoming football. I started thinking of a trend I've noticed. Wyoming defense, as we all know, can't stop anybody regardless of a team's talent level. Our offense can't do anything on anyone who has more talent and depth than us. That same offense, however, completely dominates teams who has a talent level similar to ours (with the exception of CSU).
I've always had a theory that in any given sport, 80% of a team's performance is talent and depth, 20% of it is coaching. Makes it sound like coaching isn't important but 20% is HUGE, especially with teams at your level. I actually believe that when matched up physically and athletically with a team like us, our offensive coaching is supreme. The evidence is in the points and numbers we have put up.
With the 80% talent factor I speak of against Fresno and Boise, coaching never played into it (recruiting did, and yes I know, that's part of the job). Didn't matter. Our offense didn't match up with the physicality and athleticism of those guys, it wasn't the scheme or the playcalling. The scheme and playcalling dominates other programs.
Obviously, DC needs to go. I'm not advocating that we keep him. There are still people who will see what they want to see and go off about "accepting mediocrity" and not "expecting excellence" again, blah blah blah. I just want to say that I do believe DC is a fantastic offensive coordinator. He has an edge over most, if not all, coaches we played against, he doesn't have the firepower. After we fire him and when he takes an OC position somewhere, I don't think there's any question that team will perform well offensively.
DC needs to go for reasons we already know inside and out, I just wanted to stir the pot and let Doc and Wyovanian and Beaver call each other names and argue for more hours, just on a different topic.
Go!
