Bob Cole should be a great pickup for the Pokes. A spread attack is exactly what the Poke Nation wants, and what they'll get. FAMU, however, sucks. Can't get recruits, play in a bad conference.. he should be better with UW.
Joe is really getting flamed over on the other board for even considering this hire. Joe knows the situation better than just about all of us I think, so I'll go along with his decision for awhile. He has his hands full straightening out this mess with all the problems, but he's the one that let it get to this point. In Cole's defense, I understand his starting QB at F A&M got hurt, left the team, and was replaced by a 5' 7" walk-on and he was only there one year I believe, so I can't put much stock into his stats there. Besides that, with all the coaching changes these days, all the good OC's are getting jobs as head coaches. Back to the old "let's see what happens next year". Good luck Joe and Go Pokes.
Cole should be a welcomed addition to the coaching staff. The Griz fans are talking him up pretty big, and wish we had him in Missoula right now. One Utah State fan mentioned that when he was the OC there he turned out Chris Cooley and Kevin Curtis.. not too shabby. I think UW will be okay, but they better get the playbook in Sween's hands now because if they don't turn out some offensive production, heads will roll. I'm sure Cole will know what to do with Devin Moore.
What is all this about Wyo begging for a spread offense, it will fit us perfectly? Thats exactly what Cockhill ran since day one, right up to the CSU game a few weeks ago. A one back, spread offense. Maybe not wide open spread, where a team plays no TE's and goes 4 wide all the time, but a spread none the less. That said, that doesn't mean we dont have the guys for it. Its the not style that was our problem, it was the scheme, strategy, and timing of everything inside of it. Zone read option. Pointless. Sween may become many things by the end, but mobile will likely never be one of them. I personally think Sween would thrive best in a west coast style offense, but it doesnt appear we'll go in that direction. Heading into next season with our current depth chart, I think a spread offense with a creative style running game will suit us best. We absolutely cannnot be a power running attack, which it appears we attempted to be this season. Our o-line should be better, but will still be a question mark. We must get D Moore in space, and attack with Seldon when the box opens up some. Sween would thrive from a play action attack as well. We will likely still lack a deep threat attack.
Something I can't put my finger on right now, but I don't like the looks of this Cole guy. I'll figure it out later. How old is he? I think you need young blood (say 40 - 45 yrs old) in this job. And you can't just come in with a scheme and say this is the way it's going to be. You have to look at the personnel and match your game to the strengths you currently have. I learned that just coaching little league baseball and basketball.
Here is the official announcement:

It seems like a state as rich as Wyoming is could pay their coaches a little better. Oh well, if this teams starts challenging for conference titles, maybe they will all get raises.

Oh, just great. Cole was part of the Florida A&M housecleaning - everybody got the sack. Why? In part because of the offense - A&M averaged 18.5 points/game and 308 yds/game. Compare that to the Pokes 19.4 points/game and 323 yads/game.
So now Glenn trades one loser for another. Oh well, look to 2009 when a fresh set of faces will be coaching.

I don't think you understand just how bad FAMU is.. it was definitely not on the OC or the coaching staff!

Yeah, it looked like Cole did real good at Utah St. And really good at Montana. 517 yards a game!
Let's hope our Offense is talented enough to put up those kind of numbers.
