I get the feeling

Tom is going to can Dave if we don't get to a bowl and try to save his own ass.
I hadn't thought of that. Wouldn't shock me......question is, will Stenberg even allow him to make such a decision? You can bet he may want to move into an entirely new era at UW.....I smell a house-cleaning coming.

Shyatt, Branch, and Legerski will be safe. The rest either need to get their shit together or start filling out resumes.

J-Rod, I completely agree.

Oh I agree, I'm talking strictly football. The toilet will be flushed.....twice.

Maybe three times, you don't want any floaters.
 
Makes you wonder if Tormey will be the sacrificial lamb first.

I'm actually not ready to get rid of Dave yet. ...I think we have a good offensive mind. Our d is the glaring issue.
 
I'm also not ready. As I posted on the other board what harm is there in handing the D to Cain? It can't get any worse, and it could be a shot in the arm.

Dave is gone unless their is a miracle finish. He already had a chance to change d coordinators and he picked his guy and it hasn't panned out. He is gone at the end of this season if no bowl game. He isn't getting a chance to pick his 3rd d coordinator. Ain't happening.

Burman gave him a number he needed to reach for wins at the end of last season. No bowl= no job.

I think that is probably true and I think DC is done, it's just a matter of timing.

Most of the time when we get ready to fire a losing coach I get hopeful for the possibilities (I was downright giddy when we got rid of Heath). However, in this instance I can't help but feel that we are extremely screwed. The MWC has fallen apart, we now have 3 coaches in a row that demonstrate us to be a graveyard and Tom Burman is still in charge. I don't believe we will ever be consistently competitive again in either revenue sport.

And special teams. And overall motivation. We have a $1.3M offensive coordinator and no head coach.

I think you and SDPoke should start a bowling team and find another team to be fans of dropping to FCS.
 
I emailed burman last night expressing my displeasure with the defense and the realization that my future donations depended on a coaching change. His response was "I feel your pain, better days ahead!" Trying not to read too much into it. But it makes me think there will be a coaching change of some kind even if its getting rid of Tormey.

The truth is painful. I was where you are now for many years. "We'll turn it around!" Unfortunately I have 15 years of empirical evidence that shows we most likely never will. That trumps hopes and dreams.

Hope you are right LasCruces...hope you are right.

I have a much larger sample and life experience that says otherwise. If someone with you attitude worked for me, I'd fire them.

Well I'm glad you have those memories from the 60s, 80s, mid 90s, or whatever decade you are referring to. Because it's all you're ever going to have from Wyoming football. And you can't fire me! I quit! ;)

Pretty much what I expected.
 
Is Tormey a friend of Dave's? Is that the problem? Any way, there should be a rule: You are not allowed to hire "friends" because you are reluctant to get rid of them.

Anything less then tied for 1st place in the Mountain is a worthy of being fired after last years debacle. That means if he wins out from here then it saves his job anything less is unacceptable for the money he is making.
