DCs record.

[cowboyz]

Through 4 years, Glenn was 12-18 in MWC play. DC was 13-18. Basically the same.
Winning % all the way through is pretty similar.
Glenn pulled off some big wins and in the big games that were losses the team was a lot more competitive. Like against Florida, Virginia and Syracuse.
Where DC gets smoked by the big teams.
Glenn doesn't lose to small teams, DC doesn't lose to CSU.
Glen recruited the Bramlets, Chris Pro and Wendling (all players who probably would have came to Wyo anyways but still credit goes to Glenn) and Thunder&Lightning. And on top of that Unrein and Fletcher and Knapton and Biezuns.
DC recruited ACS, Brett Smith, and AA. With his big D recruits being Shamiel Gary (who left), Burns, Huff, Ghalli Muhamed, and Purcell.

I know Luke Ruff was recruited by Glenn but DC liked him and kept the offer on the table. I don't know if Purcell was recruited by Glenn too, but I think that one is DC.

That is my best break down of them without trying to sound biased.

Thoughts?

They are very similar in their "accomplishments", even if their styles are different from how they coach and who they recruit. Glenn was fired for what he accomplished.

Can we get Glenn to be our d-coordinator???

That would be good and combine it with HCDC as the full time OC and get an organized guy on top to keep it together. Maybe promote Rahl to Head Coach...

Glen could beat the big guys but struggled to take care of business against the weak teams in the MWC.
While DC is totally opposite. Can't beat a big time program to save his life, but does work beating the crap teams. UNLV, csu, NM and sdsu.

12-4 against those teams, while losing to texas 3 times, nebraska 1 time, Boise 3 times and getting swept by the utes cougars and horny toads.

To me they are pretty equal but DC has a chance to be better because...Brett Smith.

You are all over the place. How do you reconcile this statement with your earlier statement of "but DC is proving to be our most successful coach in quite a while". Seriously.

Proving. As in the pieces are in place. Returning a 2 year starter at QB with a very good chance to get to 8-10 wins this season. You say that their records are very identical after 4 years yes, but after 5, 26-33 was Joe Glenns record if I looked it up right. 44%
And Let's say DC gets us an 8-5, that is 47%. Not great, but at the same time that would be 3 bowls in 5 years. And infairness to Glenn, 3 bowl eligible season compared to 2.

I'm not saying he is Mack Brown or anything but he is a better head coach than Glenn.

He's not done anything to prove he's a better head coach then Glenn. As you point out, through their first 4 years or 50 games etc, they are almost identical. In fact, at this point even the team's points scored are the same. The high scoring Christensen offenses haven't landed in Laramie yet. They're still grinding out the same points as the Glenn offenses, at this point The guy is a shit head coach and was a great offensive coordinator. Too bad we can't move him to where he was successful.

Glenn didn't recruit Casey or Corey Bramlet, Vic Koenig did. Glenn never coached a defensive position as an assistant coach in his career. He always coached on the offensive side. Mike Breske was the defensive mind of Joe Glenn's teams and did all the coordinating and play calling. Just for reference Joe tiller's record thru 4 seasons 23-23-1.

Sorry man but no one needed to recruit them. They were going to play here if they got the opportunity

I understand that. Beaverpoke was under the impression that they signed with Glenn. Casey was in the 2000 class and Corey the 2002 class. What became of the youngest. I remember he played college baseball. Did he ever make it to the minor's?

Gotcha. I was a kid then and "recruiting" was something I never thought about.

BTW...Corey Bramlet, I think it was corey not casey, was the last upperclassmen QB to win the Bronze Boot for Wyo.
ACS and Brett Smith have done all 4 as underclassmen.

 

[laxwyo]

This season will be the first for DC that he has an upperclassman for QB. That will be nice

Casey Bramlett was recruited by Koenning, so was Wendling. Casey was a senior in Glenns first year. Glen had a talented senior QB to start with... DC had to play a freshman in ACS his first year.
Corey Bramlett was only recruited by Wyo, and h was coming anyway, because he wanted to follow his big bro.
Wendling was all Koenning. Wendling was going to WYO no matter what but, Koenning deserves credit because Nebraska went hard after Wendling and Koenning fought them off.
