Wonder if true? Of course we have mister misinformed spouting this off. Wonder if DC will leave?

Semantics aside, the job is Christiansen's if he wants it. UH initiated contact. Raise I'm told along the lines of of 500K.

Houston has made overtures to Wyoming Football Coach Dave Christiansen. UH has indicated a monster raise would be in the offing

I thought DC was getting a contract negotiation along with a pay raise here?

 

[seattlecowboy]

Well Burman better be prepared to offer him at least close to what Houston is offering or I am not sure Wyoming will be able to keep him. Talk about crappy timing for all of this to come out. The night right before a bowl game. :brick:

DC will leave... at some point. Lets worry about the now, everyone is tired of all the rumors, Coach leaving to kansas, then to ASU, then to ... you get the point. He will be focused on winning the game and that is what we all want.

SPORTSbyBROOKS @SPORTSbyBROOKS 1m Earlier tonight I reported that Houston had made Christiansen an offer. Christiansen's new extension at Wyoming now rules out Houston.


Nice! Way to stay at Wyoming coach :thumb:

I'd like to know how sportsbybrooks got into this business because I don't think he has gotten one story correct.... ever.

sportsbybrooks was correct on this so not sure what the complaint is this time. Houston made an offer. Wyoming gave five-year extension. Christensen is staying.

I hope he is making quite a bit more now he deserves it and we need him.

Significant raise... sounds like a good idea.

Yeah.....I'm sure Houston is hot after CDC after this game.
