How much longer does the saga continue?

[seattlecowboy]

I like Bohn and think we NEED to go after a named coach not an up and coming OC or DC. WE need a head coach.

Bohl is making 200K a year. Offer the guy 800K (Wyoming can do better) and that's already 3 times more his salary. I really think Wyoming can get the guy if they really want to. Enough with coordinators. The successful ones tend to want to leave anyway. I don't think Bohl would use Wyoming as a springboard. JMHO.

Actually this isn't entirely true. That is his base.

With all of the incentives Bohl received he actually made closer to 367k last year.

He also just signed a contract extension through 2021 to coach the Bison. I believe there is something in the contract that if he goes to another school that is non BCS then Bohl is required to pay NDSU 100k also.

Here is the article.

He seems to like it there. He is like a god in North Dakota. Not sure he would want to come to the dust storm that is Wyoming.

If that is the case and it is "only" 100k, would it maybe be possible to offer to pay it and include that into part of the salary? figure drop his annual by 25k or whatever and pay that for hinm?

 

[ELKMT]

We almost certainly need to bring in a head coach. I would argue that we would be better of with a D1 coach out of the sun belt or MAC. We need a coach who doesn't need to recruit an entire staff. We haven't been successful with a high level OC as a coach & we haven't been successful with a high level DC as a coach. We also haven't been successfull with a lower level championship coach.

That being said I wouldn't mind if they gave Bohl a shot, but I believe he has to pay a significant penalty if he leaves early on his contract. It should also be a requirement that if we bring in a defensive head coach we should bring brack OC Brandon to run the offense with a raise and a multi-year deal, or a similar quality coordinator.

Also, I would not mind if Gregg Brandon was considered if he could prove that he could bring in a decent staff. He was 14 games over .500 in his head coaching career and had only one losing season. He won 2 MAC Division titles and 2 Bowl games. He finished 1st and 2nd in conference his last two years. He also has coached on both sides of the ball (linebacker coach), and he has ties to our most successful years at Wyo (87-90 wr coach). Of course this depends on who he could get on staff, but looks like a fit to me.

 

[YankPoke]

Bohl has a buyout clause of 100k to take another NCAA job. He is currently getting close to 400k with his incentives per year, Wyoming should be able to pay the 100k for him as well as give him a pretty decent raise, say the 800k range to start. The big question is if he would have interest in coming here.

Yeah, that last sentence is important of course. I really don't think the money part is a big deal. Wyoming is paying a coach who has won 7 games in the last two seasons $1.1 million, which is very competitive compared to other non-AQs not named Boise State. Another thing that could be an issue: competition. Other schools will surely be looking at the guy, and Nebraska is his alma mater. You can bet if Pelini gets let go that they will make a run at one of their own.

But of course, this is all speculation. This discussion will really take off if and hopefully when DC actually gets fired.

 

[kansasCowboy]

With the total nuclear meltdown of this football program over the last several weeks, with zero in the way of light at the end of the tunnel, I just cannot see any way that the administration at UW can sell the football ticket buying public on another season of Christensen.

This season has been a nightmare beyond the pale of what anyone could have forecast - and although I believe that DC did the best job possible and exhausted all avenues to try and reach a level of consistent success, the results have unfortunately failed to materialize.

Let me make one thing clear. This season is done and over with.

There is no 'salvaging the season.'

The state's highest paid employee has not been able to develop a sustained winning environment during the five (5) years he's been on the job.

His job is to win football games.

He didn't win nearly enough.

Let him finish out the last two games, then do the right thing and then relieve him of his duties on Monday December 2.

For my money, Craig Bohl is the logical successor -- if UW can convince him to come to Laramie.

Bohl's ability to recruit the upper midwest states has been more than impressive, and if he can show the same success in getting kids to come to Wyoming that he has shown in getting kids to go to Fargo -- then I like his chances of doing very well at UW,

What is it with you and FCS coaches? How will our success come from a coach who can recruit down home FCS talent? We've had this before. Glenn was supposed to bring great success from his amazing success and national titles at Montana.
Why not try something that we haven't, which other schools in the MWC have tried and succeeded with, and that's get an already successful coach at a smaller FBS school.
We would be able to afford them, they know how to succeed at this level. The know how to recruit at this level any they know how to win at this level. Examples: Brady Hoke (SDS) and Urban Meyer (Utah). Both program have reaped the benefits while they were at the school and after they've left.

This is directed to Doc, I already know some of your others opinions on this.

KC provide me with some names of some candidates you might be referring to.

I like/love Bohl because of the reasons I have already stated.

We need someone who knows the terrain, and understands the nature of a school in an area like where Wyoming is situated.

The duality in many instances of ND State and Wyoming speak to me very loudly.

I'd ask you not to look at the Joe Glenn tenure and believe it would be the same situation that a guy like Bohl would produce.

Bohl isn't Glenn, and Joe Glenn is not Craig Bohl.

I will do so, but it will be later tonight. I have some family getting ready to leave. Look for it later.

Okay Doc, Here you go.

DC's contract. He currently sits at 1.2M a year with a bonus of 25K, His assistants are paid a total of 924K a year

My list in order:
1. Pete Lembo (Ball State)
Current rec: 24-12, Has had success at two stops in the FCS. Lehigh and Elon. Has shown success at our level. Currently makes 350K a year with a bonus of 265K his assistants are paid a total of 803K.

2.Mark Hudspeth (ULL)
Current rec: 26-10, Has had success at every stop hes had. Has had success at this level and is getting compensated for it. Currently makes 800K a year with a bonus of 105K. His assistants are paid a total of 895K. (His pay now, would make it hard for us to lure him away.

3. Matt Campbell (Toledo)
Current rec: 17-7, One of the youngest coaches and has had great success.
Currently makes 360K a year with a bonus of 305K. His assistants are paid a total of 754K. (We may be able to lure him with a decent rate.)

4. Larry Coker (UTSA)
Current rec: 5-5, Has UTSA competitive in his time there. Of course we all know his history and his success as well.
Currently makes 350K a year with a bonus of 30K. His assistants are paid a total of 669K. (I'm not sure if he considers this his retirement gig or not, if not, we may be able to get him. )

5. Frank Solich (Ohio)
Current rec: 65-48 at Ohio; 123-67 overall
Currently makes 500K a year with a bonus of 297K. His assistants are paid a total of 821K. (Again, not sure if this may be a retirement gig. He has built something special at Ohio, he may not leave until he retires.)

6.Rick Stockstill (Mid Tenn St)
Current rec: 49-48 (Don't let the record fool you, he has started building something at MTSU)
Currently makes 601K a year with a bonus of 149K. His assistants are paid a total of 809K.

Other notables:
Bobby Petrino (WKU), Bill Blankenship (Tulsa), Skip Holtz (LTU), Rod Carey (NIU),

Now, with what we currently pay our coach and his staff, would we not be able to get any of these guys a significant deal? The exception is Hudspeth.

But all of these guys are winners. Whether long time HC's or newcomers, they have built winners at our FBS level with below our conference level.
So why not try and get a Shyatt for football who may want to finish off his career here (Coker, Solich) and do it with success.
Or maybe we get one of these newcomers that wants to build with attitude to either get a better deal at a current school or go to a bigger school because of what he does here...( Hoke, Meyer).

Good list, and most are affordable. The best route for our next head coach has to be an established winning D1 coach, and again they look like they would come here with a payment of over 1 million.

Thanks man, that's a great list with some nice info.

Of those you mentioned I like Campbell best - I took note of him last year when the Rockets came in and beat the Pokes (a game I was at). I like Petrino and think he can coach, I'm just not sure given the state of 'our' program, with BP's recent incidents, I'm not sure he'd be a proper fit/sell right now. If it was 2-3 years from now I'd be more bullish on Petrino.

You're right YP, and I think that's why Burman needs to begin laying the groundwork to seduce Bohl to Laramie right now.

I'm sure a messenger would be able to drop a note in Bohl's hand indicating an expression of interest from WYO.

With confidentiality in play on both sides - I think they could begin to feel each other out a bit.

Great list Kansas. You put more thought into most of your posts than our HC does into game planning, or so it would appear. Shit, put yourself down as #7. We already know your loyalty to the program is unquestioned and you'd come cheap : )

I'd take any of these guys if we could get them. The thing that surprised me a bit about the list is that we pay our assistants more than any of these other schools, not just the HC salary.

Good list. And I agree 100% and then some, that UW needs to go after somebody with D1 coaching experience. Especially like your first notable (he is my #1 choice overall) - and also like Skip Holtz (oh, and what about the guy he replaced at South Florida - Jim Leavitt, currently the LB coach for the 49er's).

 

[kansasCowboy]

Thanks Peach, I like Skip Holtz too, I think he was screwed out of his opportunity at USF. But I think he would fit well. I've always liked Leavit. But he seems to favor coastal jobs. I think he'd try to get out of Laramie in a hurry.

And for those that favor Bohl, I understand. I'm fine with picking the best from the FCS vine, but we've already done it, we experienced minimal success. Lembo is proof that you can go from FCS and still be successful. I would just prefer to get someone who has his feet wet in the FBS, and is already making noise.

 

[stymeman]

i'd take Coker, as I don't think Bohl would want to leave the friendly confines of the Fargodome and a winning program!!

Bohl was Nebraskas D-Coordinator when they were good wasn't he?

Bohl was Nebraskas D-Coordinator when they were good wasn't he?

Yeah, I think so. But that's the thing. He was a coord at this level, he was a great D coord just as DC was a great O coord. Let someone pick him up and let him get his feet wet in the FBS. It will more than likely be a non BCS school which means if he does successful and we happen to need a coach at that time, then I'm all for him.
This is why I like Lembo. He's already proven himself at both levels.
I like Solich a lot as well. One thing about him is since he coached at Nebraska he knows the area, plus we would be able to get some of that Midwest talent that he knows in ohio now. I think he got a bum wrap at Nebraska, and quite frankly even though they win they have never been as dominant since getting rid of him. Coker I like as well. He's proven himself, and with such a medial contract I think he is ripe for the picking. He steps out of his comfort zone o recruit as well, I remember when he came up and recruited Freddie Capshaw (K) from Rock Springs. Both of these men know what it takes to win. But, are they set where they are at? Or will they consider a better offer (not better team).

My choices would be:

1. Nick Saban
2. Chip Kelly
3. Bill Belichick
4. Lee Corso
5. Robert Loggia
