Extend Bohl!

First season we didn’t have a head scratching loss. Lost only to the top teams. Boise was the only huge disaster. Thought the pick at end of half changed UNLV game. We would have momentum if that was tied 21-21. Pretty good damn season and probably better than anyone picked.
 
As usual, we beat up the bad teams and even beat the mediocre teams. But I don't want to extend Bohl unless it's for decorative purposes only. Ten years and not one conference championship and only 1 appearance in a conference championship game. It's never going to happen with him. Let him have 1 last year and let's start thinking about the next guy.
 
I think this is basically Bohls peak as we have seen for 10 years, but I don't see how he doesn't get extended a year or two.

This is only the 4th time since 1996 that we have at 8 wins regular season (1998, 2011, 2016, and now 2023) and then we had two other times (2017, 2019) where we got to 8 wins due to the bowl. If we get the 9th win in the bowl it will be the most wins in a single season since the 1996 season where we had 10 wins.

I don't see how he doesn't get a year or two extension on possibly getting the most wins in a season in 25+ years.

I just hope it is only a year or two and not some 5 or 7 year extension again.
 
As disappointed as I was after the road losses, I do agree that an extension makes the most sense. 1-2 years with a gentleman's agreement that Bohl will retire. 7-0 at home, attendance record, etc. all seem sort of secondary when one road win against the top of the conference likely lands the Pokes in the conference title. Beyond irritating.
 
Word on the street is that next year is Bohl last year barring anything crazy happening and players are aware of this. As far as transfers I heard that most will be from offensive side of ball, I am not sure of how many but probably at least a few.
 
It was a good year and Bohl did a good job. Keep him until we decide it's time to overhaul administration.

Overhaul admin and let new admin put their coach in place. Bohl is Burman's ceiling.

Wonder who would transfer? We don’t really have any players that would be useful to other teams on paper other than Waylee, who I highly, highly doubt will transfer
 
I don't think Bohl is the coach to take UW over the top to the next frontier of success. But you also have to think, who is? And who would come to Laramie to be that person?

Jerry Kill would be good. New Mexico State is actually playing for a conference title. Something neither UNM nor us could say. Helps to win road games.

Unless Waylee graduates, he would have to sit out a year to transfer. I don’t see it happening.

Gyllenborg is an NFL talent. I could see a team prying him away with money (ala Pregnon).

The rest of the offense (other than Svoboda), I don’t see them being in demand other than maybe MWC teams and below.

I hope players look at the success (or lack thereof) of those of have transferred. Some don’t play at all, some very little. Not all, but the portal hasn’t been good for many who transferred out. It’s been better for many who have came to Laramie.
 
We're 106th in 2024 recruiting rankings according to 247, and anyone with two brain cells knows Bohl is retiring soon (as I've mentioned before, recruits aren't stupid or out of the loop).

Giving Bohl the "recruiting extension" (yes, everyone knows what that is) isn't going to maintain or change anything with recruits/recruiting.

If anything, it's better to just rip the bandaid off and be done with it.

Ummmm. No. He beat two lousy teams to end the season. Still no conference championships. He still needs to go.

Fire Bohl in Wyoming’s highest regular season win total since 1996. Yes that’s sure to attract top head coaching candidates.

Everyone was ready to run him out on a rail after the Boise/UNLV games. Now he beats horrible Hawaii and even worse Nevada and now everyone wants him to stay. You all can go whichever way the wind blows. I've stayed consistent. This team will never win a conference championship with him as coach. Ever.

Find one post where I said to fire Bohl. I’d love to see it.

You’re the guy that has advocated for years that Wyoming drop to FCS.

While we won’t win a conference championship with Bohl, he has built a real program here at Wyoming. We need to give him the gentleman’s extension and allow the program to transition into new hands (with some of the same staff) after his farewell tour next year.

Why? Because he got us into the milk bone bowl? Boise fired its coach and is playing for the conference title. Raise your expectations.
