I hate to see these coaches leave but unfortunately it’s the reality of the profession. Best wishes to all. Any ideas as to who Bohl could bring in as DC? Any connections to Power 5 assistants ready to call the shots?

CasperCowboy said:I’m too far removed but somebody mentioned Rocky Long—would he leave a head job to call along side Bohl?
Marty English? (Where is he now?)
Any SEC / ACC upcomers?
I just hope that whoever Bohl hires he keeps the same style of defense / scheme. Our boys have played too well on that side of the ball to have to learn and adapt another system.

Rocky has retired from SDSU.

Marty English just got fired from Northern Colorado. That hire would make no sense as he has a completely different defensive philosophy (and one that would not work).
Rocky Long is a possibility but doubt he would accept the pay that Wyoming would offer. I bet Rocky ends up at a P5 defensive coordinator position this year or next.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Bohl looks toward the current defensive staff at North Dakota State.

I agree. I’m sure Bohl has looked into the current North Dakota State staff and potentially the K-State assistants considering most of that staff came from Fargo. They know the Bohl style and “recipe”. Having watched both programs throughout the bowl and playoff season you would think one of their assistants would be ready for the jump.
WYO1016 said:Something being overlooked here is that we need more than just a DC. We need a defensive running game coordinator, DE coach, CB coach, ST coordinator, and Safeties coach. Those positions could have possibly been back filled with our GAs, but they've also been poached. The only coach we will have left from this season is Pete Kaligas. I guess you could count Aaron Bohl, but he wasn't officially promoted to LB coach until after the season.
This is bad. Very bad. Not only can we not promote from within, this late in the coaching cycle it's going to be tough finding anyone worth their salt to fill all of these positions. I'm preparing for the defense to regress immensely in 2020.
TrackPoke said:Former UW DB coach Curt Mallory currently serves as the head coach for Indiana State. His salary is $200,000, so a move back to Wyoming would be a salary promotion.
Prior he was a Defensive Coordinator at Illinois and Akron. He was a DB coach at Wyoming (2015-16), Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Central Michigan and Ball State.

Since you’re on the topic of Missouri Valley coaches with Wyoming ties isn’t former linebacker Brian Hendricks coaching defensive line for Illinois State?
