CowboyNV said:This is the 15th coaching change I've seen at UW since I started rooting for the Cowboys in the late 50's, so my excitement over Coach Bohl is a bit tempered.
These are the coaches I've watched over the years. Some good ones, and some not so good ones:
Bob Devaney
Lloyd Eaton
Fritz Shurmur
Fred Akers
Bill Lewis
Pat Dye
Al Kincaid
Dennis Erickson
Paul Roach
Joe Tiller
Dana Dimel
Vic Koenning
Joe Glenn
Dave Christensen
And now Craig Bohl
I sincerely hope he is the best hire ever, and that his results in Laramie will continue to be as stellar as possible. UW and the kids that wear the brown and gold deserve a winner. I'll fly my flag proudly and cheer as I always have. But I'll wait a while before anointing him the king and saviour of Wyoming football.
Go Pokes!

I was just joshin ya since you said HR in your title. But yeah I'm not sold on Bohl. I hope I'm proven wrong, but I'm pessimistic at this point. Too many times we thought we had a HR coach and we got burned. You would think some of us would be more guarded then we are.....McPeachy said:HR_Poke said:You talkin about me?McPeachy said:And for all of our sake, I hope it pans out to MWC championships.

I saw a hint of your stance - I couldn't stomach reading all that shit. Not being a smartass - but I take it you are on the "not-very-confident" side of things?
I simply just don't know about this hire. And honestly, would Tedford have done better at UW? We will never know, so the point is moot. Even if Bohl turns out to be the next Urban Meyer...we still will never know.
If my balls were in a vice on a hire at my job, guarantee you I would have shot for the moon.

I can say with 100% certainty at this point in time that we did, in fact, hire a dude.

I don't think that means anything quite honestly. That stuff is why they play the game.
Going undefeated though - that is an accomplishment. Probably an expected accomplishment given the circumstances, but an accomplishment none the less.
Again, hope he turns out to be the next Urban Meyer, as I mentioned. I will reserve judgment for a few years.
CSU is a nobody. Texas State is a nobody. Maybe moving up to consistently beating the nobodies on our schedule would be a move in the right direction....I'd put money on NDSU beating both of those teams this year. I get what youre saying but he seems to really be able to recruit those inbetween players that bigger programs arent quite sure about then gets 110% out of them. Thats going to have to be us for awhile, until we develop a winning culture. And lets not forget, he has gotten recruits to choose NDSU over FBS schools...I think he'll do far better on the field than CDCkansasCowboy said:Same here. As always I will be behind our coach and Cowboys by next year. I just feel we took a step in the same direction, instead of a step up. I too, hope that he will be WYOs "Urban Meyer" or "Brady Hoke".
Most peoples eyes light up at his 41-2 record over the last three years.
For me, I shrug my shoulders at that number considering a vast majority of those programs that they beat would be the equivalent of Georgia St or UMass at this level...
The number that has me interested, but still mostly shrugging my shoulders is their 7-3 record over FBS schools. Most of those wins were against "Nobodies". And they lost to a bad WYO team.
So how will that translate to wins and losses for WYO? I guess we'll see.
