if lsu can pull the trigger on a firing with a 54 million buyout our cowboys should do the same. this cowboy team played worse than last year! the bronze boot is a plus but to lose to nevada should end his wyo career. something is off with this team. move on now!

Off topic but did anyone see the Art Briles is back in the game? Some d2 (i guess) school in NM.

There's no magical pot of money to pay Sawvel's buyout. The University is under pretty intense scrutiny from the legislature. Despite the fact that we all want a change, this is not the time to be throwing money at buyouts.

Maury Brown is unfortunately gone. Mick and Susie McMurry are unfortunately gone. I’m unaware of any large donors stepping up to fill those funding voids.

The people in Wyoming who have those kind of assets are mostly in Jackson and could care less about UW.

Will be interesting how long he stays at Eastern New Mexico. He is 70 and his last coaching job at Grambling he stepped down after 4 days on the job.

Art Briles is 3 years older than Craig Bohl. So I can’t imagine he would get much if any future FBS interest.

I can’t name a single wealthy Jackson donor with significant ties to the University.

Nor can I.

UW has not done well to culture the next generation of large donors, if you ask me. They have repeatedly gone to the McMurry, Brown and Rochelle troughs - which have been fruitful - but CJC has been particularly tired and lacked creativity. Outside of a capital campaign (AA, War, pool, etc.), they have been piss-poor at fundraising for building salary pools, coach retention funds (honestly we haven't had coaches worth keeping), etc.

Scarlett's are probably the closest

It's Eastern New Mexico and people there aren't very happy. Turns out that the AD at ENMU had worked with Briles while at Baylor.

I commented on this in another forum, but only got a couple negative comments. Wyoming has at least 5 known billionaires - why not approach them? Worst they can say is no thanks. At least one billionaire moved to Wyoming for lower taxes and I'm sure all of them remain in Wyoming for that reason.
