What I said about Kramer is that....."If Kramer resigns...." I am sure that Kramer is an outstanding S&C guy, but we have a pretty fine one in Trent Greener who is a Wyoming guy. I would be sad to see Greener gone as I feel that he is outstanding as well. Either way, I think that Wyoming will be fine there.

Trent Greener

Position:
Director of Strength & Conditioning

Experience:
11th Season at UW

Alma Mater:
Wyoming `90

Trent Greener was named the Director of Strength and Conditioning and Head Football Strength Coach at the University of Wyoming in December 2008. He will be entering his 15th season as a head strength and conditioning coach at the NCAA Division I level in 2013 and his 24th year overall as a strength coach. He returned to Wyoming after serving in a similar position at the University of Washington from 2005-08.

In addition to overseeing the entire strength and conditioning program at the University of Washington, as the Head Coach for Sports Performance, Greener also worked directly with the Husky Football Team for four seasons (2005-08).

Prior to that, Greener was the Head Strength and Conditioning Coordinator for six seasons at Oregon State University from 1999-2004, working with the sports of football and volleyball during his time in Corvallis, Ore. Over that six-year period, Oregon State appeared in five bowl games.

Greener began his career in strength and conditioning as a student assistant at Wyoming in the 1989-90 academic year, while completing his undergraduate degree in exercise and sport science at UW. He then served as a graduate assistant strength coach at Purdue from 1990-92. He moved into a full-time position as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Northern Illinois in 1992, before returning to Wyoming. From 1993-99, Greener was an assistant strength coach at UW, working primarily with the sports of men's and women's basketball, baseball, men's and women's golf and assisting with football. During his time as an assistant at UW, the Cowboys appeared in the 1993 Copper Bowl and the Inaugural Western Athletic Conference Championship game in 1996.

He is both a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a USA Weightlifting (USAW) certified club coach. Greener has also been a presenter at numerous seminars and coaching clinics, as well as having had numerous articles published on a variety of training techniques.

He has coached teams that have made nine postseason appearances during his coaching career, including eight bowl games. He helped the Cowboys earn a bid to the 2011 Gildan New Mexico Bowl, and in his first season back at Wyoming as head strength and conditioning coach in 2009, he was part of the Cowboys' New Mexico Bowl Championship team.

Greener has trained over 30 individuals who went on to sign with NFL teams. The most recent eight Cowboys to receive free-agent opportunities with NFL teams were 2012 Cowboys: Luke Anderson (Washington Redskins), Nick Carlson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Korey Jones (Arizona Cardinals), Josh Leonard (Oakland Raiders), Kyle Magnuson (Oakland Raiders), Chris McNeill (San Diego Chargers), Mike Purcell (San Francisco 49ers) and Kurt Taufa'asau (Oakland Raiders). Each received an invitation to compete in NFL camps following the 2013 NFL Draft.

In 2011, Cowboys Alvester Alexander (Chicago Bears), Josh Biezuns (Chicago Bears), Tashaun Gipson (Cleveland Browns) and Brian Hendricks (Washington Redskins) -- each signed free-agent contracts following the 2012 NFL Draft.

The most recent NFL Draft pick that Greener worked with was former Wyoming free safety Chris Prosinski, who was selected in the Fourth Round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Four Wyoming Cowboys signed free-agent contracts with NFL teams following the 2009 season. Senior defensive tackle John Fletcher signed with the Baltimore Ravens. Linebacker Weston Johnson signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Falcons. Offensive tackle Ryan Otterson joined the San Diego Chargers as a free-agent signee, and defensive end Mitch Unrein signed a free-agent contract with the Houston Texans and has since signed with the Denver Broncos.

A defensive tackle for the Cowboys, Greener was a football lettermen on two Western Athletic Conference Championship teams his junior and senior seasons of 1987 and `88. Those two teams went undefeated in league play, winning 16 consecutive WAC games, and appeared in the 1987 and `88 Holiday Bowls.

A native of New Albany, Ind., Greener completed his bachelor's degree in exercise and sport science at Wyoming in 1990, and earned his master's degree in physical education, also from UW, in 2002.

Greener is married to the former Tina Wheeler, who lettered for the Wyoming Cowgirl Basketball program from 1986-89.
 
Lake, I don't know if you could tell yet, but some folks here want people just because of their Wyoming ties. (Cough cough keeping Greener cough)

I'm not convinced that Greener has been a great strength and conditioning coach. All of our linemen are constantly getting pushed around. We've got a lot of bodies that need more muscle, and I'm not convinced we've seen enough development from our guys got say, "yes, Greener is the best candidate for the job and we need to keep him."

So you know for certain that it is Greener's fault that the defenseless line was getting pushed out of the way, cough...cough. And your proof is? Could it be because of technique that Greener has nothing to do with? Wyoming's defense guys were as stronger or stronger than they have ever been, and for your education the HC has a lot of input on the type of training that the guys receive, i.e. - strength vs. endurance vs. flexibility. You took one simple event and tried to extrapolate it into an attack on Greener, who has an outstanding resume at some of the best schools in the U.S.

Lake, there are some people on this Wyoming board that don't have a clue as to what they speak of, cough...cough, you just saw one, cough...cough.

kidwrightuwyo, you don't have a clue as to what you speak of....I am NOT one that believes simply because he is a Wyoming guy that he deserves the job or is better....your ignorance of the situation is astounding.
 
We do have to get much stronger though... That is fact! I'm not a Greener basher but as a whole we were damn soft as a team!
 
Our line is weak as hell on both sides. Thats the fault of coaching and S&C. Perhaps keeping the Wyoming guy isn't helping us. I don't understand the nepotism mentality that it's ok for someone to do a shitty job as long as they are from wyoming.
 
Tater, if you read what I wrote I said that I'm not convinced. I don't know the answer as to who is better. But what I don't want (and many folks here are perfectly happy with) is for the University to not look for someone who could be better just because we have our guy with Wyoming ties.

Sorry I hurt your feelings, Tater. I didn't mean to tickle your sensitive feelings.
 
Oh and Tater, you're so full of shit your eyes are brown. You know why you aren't supposed to hold your farts in? Because the gas goes straight to your head and that's where shitty ideas come from.

You put way too much importance on yourself, and I did read what you said, cough...cough. That is the problem I understood what you were saying and it bothered you way too much, should I send tissue your way to sooth your feelings?

I bet there isn't a hat big enough for your head and ego.

You seem to know all about shitty ideas as there is no doubt that you have more than your fair share. But I have to remember I am conversing with someone that is totally clueless about what he speaks about and the only exercise his mind gets is by jumping to conclusions......have you ever been right about anything in your short life?

You knew so much about what you were speaking of you didn't even think of technique as an issue you just layed to whole problem in Greener...talk about clueless, that is you and now I have hurt your feelings.....where do I send the tissue?

Tater, you have no idea what your saying. You don't know me. You don't know anything about me or the size of my ego. This whole thing with you makes me laugh. You're trying to be a message board tough guy. Maybe the "cough cough" thing was too much, I was posting before I was fully awake, but I do stand by what I said. I don't know Greener, but I know what I saw on the field...our strongest guys getting pushed around. I don't know if it was technique or whatnot...but we can't keep our blinders on and keep a guy if we can get someone better. That's all I'm saying.

Alright fucker, enough with the fucking personal attacks. I didn't attack you, why are you attacking me? But since you seem ok with it, who the fuck are you to try to call me out like you are? What makes you think your qualified to have such a superior opinion?

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has them...and they all stink.

I love it when someone backs down..."I was posting before I was fully awake." That's a new one. You used the "cough...cough" thing, and you made a fool of yourself about it.

If you knew what you were talking about, you would know that there are a lot of things that typically go into why a defense gets pushed around, it isn't one simple thing like blame the S&C guy, like you have done. Technique plays a huge part of performance, and it doesn't matter how strong you are if you have poor technique you will look weak and get pushed around. Leverage is key, having your weight distributed properly, and also getting double teamed like Olive did because he was the ONLY actual DT that played this year. Both Bernthaler and Merten's were DE's that were converted to DT's and it showed, their technique was poor in my opinion and this was a big part of the problem on the DL...guys playing out of position because the coaches hadn't coached up properly. Greener worked for Christensen and Christensen told him how he wanted the guys worked and conditioned. There were so many issues with this defensive front it wasn't funny, and laying it simply on Greener is a clueless thing to do.
 
Show me where I said that he was to blame! I said we can't keep someone just because of Wyoming ties. If he is a better candidate, I am all for keeping him...if he's not, his Wyoming ties should not be keeping him here. You are reading things into what I'm saying, not actually reading what's written. Stop assuming that I'm calling for your boyfriends job...and read what the fuck is written.

I said in an earlier post that I am not one to keep a guy simply because of his Wyoming connection, but I do think that it can be a plus, don't you? I thought the 'boyfriend" thing was funny as you can tell when you get to someone that they get down to the most simplistic attacks...and that is all that you did, you didn't make yourself look like you had used your intelligence whatsoever, which is par for the course. When you can show that you understand all of the variables of why a defensive front gets pushed around come on back, until then have fun out there in your lonely place.
 
Again, you have a one-track mind. Tell me where I said we need to can him? The argument is not that both the Oline and Dline are/aren't strong enough. The argument is whether or not Greener is the most qualified S&C we can get. Focus.

"Lake, I don't know if you could tell yet, but some folks here want people just because of their Wyoming ties. (Cough cough keeping Greener cough)

I'm not convinced that Greener has been a great strength and conditioning coach. All of our linemen are constantly getting pushed around. We've got a lot of bodies that need more muscle, and I'm not convinced we've seen enough development from our guys got say, "yes, Greener is the best candidate for the job and we need to keep him.""

Did you for one moment in this post of yours mention that there might be other reasons why our guys are getting "pushed around" other than an incompetent Greener? No. So reading your post it shows that you are attacking him, and it wasn't a show of support. Is there any mention in this post of yours that Greener works for the HC, and in this case Christensen and that he does what Christensen asks him to do? No. Maybe you should read your own posts. My point is that your attack is simplistic and doesn't mention nor seem to understand or much less explain all of the variables why a defensive front gets pushed around. You attack NO ONE but Greener in this post so your own post points to Greener as one that you are not convinced is the right person for the job....and you take nothing else into consideration. You focus and attempt to understand all of the things that might have gone into why the defensive front was so ineffective.
