Craig Bohl

Is the highest paid MWC coach according to the USA Today 2018-19 ranking and report.

Currently slightly overpaid at 67th where power rankings have Pokes at 74. Maybe this will change for the better.
 
That's mainly because he received a $625K bonus in March for staying employed through March 2019. If you take that away, he makes just over $1.5 which would put him 5th in the conference.
 
I believe we are going to shatter the attendance record this year. That means he is earning his money in my opinion.
 
I guess he got a one time 650k retention bonus this year. So next year he’ll be like the fourth or fifth highest paid coach in the MWC
 
Barring QBs regressing as passers under Vigen, I too am liking the direction the program is taking. Our lines finally look good on both sides, we have quite the stable of RBs, our defense (despite taking a step back in the passing area this year) is really good...

Yeah.
 
Bohl is worth every penny. He has built a fantastic culture and a consistently competitive program. I remember in his 2nd year at Wyoming we went 2-10. During our W that year against UNLV that year I remember thinking you can see where this program is going.

I was really in the Tedford camp when Bohl was hired. I will gladly admit I was wrong after watching Fresno tonight.

We're steady as she goes, but they have won a conference title that we haven't

I assume Tedford inherited a better situation than Bohl, but midway through his third season he already has 25 wins, two MWC West titles, a MWC Championship, and two bowl wins.

Bohl won his 25th game during his 5th season. First Bowl win in year four, a tie for a Mountain title in year three, and no Conference Championships.

The program is definitely headed in the right direction though. Hopefully the Pokes garner a Conference Championship soon. In 2016 the Pokes beat SDSU in the regular season, but lost to them in the title game. This year we lost to them in the regular season and will get sweet revenge in the title game. 🤞

I get that Tedford has the hardware that Bohl hasn't produced yet, but the two programs appear to be heading in opposite directions. We seem to be getting to a point where our depth is a strength. I can't think of a time in our history where the loss of a couple people to injury didnt derail an entire season. The line play has been outstanding and we seem to be able to out physical just about everyone we line up against. I think Bohl has the program built for long term success, where Tedford doesn't appear to have the same luxury. Now if we could just get Vigen to think outside the four play box on occasion we might have something.
