Here is my guess at 2011 press clippings that we will see this year... or maybe what some hope.


March 11, 2011 - "The University of Wyoming has announced that men's basketball head coach Heath Schroyer has been relieved of his duties effective immediately. The announcement follows another unproductive and subpar season in which Schroyer's team ended with a 8-22 record (1-15 conference) and an opening loss in the MWC conference tournament. Over Schroyer's 4-year career at Wyoming, he compiled a 49-80 win-loss record and with attendance records at an all-time low, school officials felt that a change needed to be made."

"A search for the head coaching position has begun immediately, according to sources close to the program."


March 18, 2011 - "The University of Wyoming has announced that Athletic Director Tom Burman has resigned from his position effective immediately. This comes a week after the men's basketball head coach Heath Schroyer was fired from his position. Tom Burman's press conference is scheduled for Monday at 11:00 am mst. A search for the men's basketball head coaching position is still on-going and sources close to the program have said that a search for a new athletic director will take precedence over the head coaching vacancy. It is assumed that once the new athletic director is named, he or she will take charge of the search for the void in the men's basketball program."

"Sources have also confirmed that Mr. Burman's resignation was an agreement with University of Wyoming President Buchanon, that he be able to resign instead of being dismissed of his duties as athletic director."



April 13, 2011 - "(?????????) has been officially named as the new Athletic Director for the Univeristy of Wyoming. (?????????) takes over the Athletic Director position left void after Mr.Tom Burman resigned on March 18th of this year. The first order of business for (????????) will be to hire a head coach for the men's basketball program that was opened by the firing of Mr. Heath Schroyer."



April 29, 2011 - "University of Wyoming athletic director (?????????) has announced that (?????????) has been named as the 21st head coach of the men's basketball program in Laramie. Working closely with a recruiting group, which included mostly former Cowboy basketball players, AD (????????) said that Wyoming now has the man to lead the storied program back to where it should be.



May 16, 2011 - "A source close to the athetic department at the University of Wyoming has said that new AD (??????????) has issued an ultimatum, mainly directed to head football coach Dave Christianson. "Anything less than a bowl appearance in 2011 will be unacceptable! How can we have excellance in our athletic programs if we don't expect excellance?"
 
Oh my 7220Fan.......Wyoming fans are going to hold you to that one. I'll be waiting........
 
Here's another one:

March 20, 2011 -- University of Wyoming President Tom Buchanan refused to comment when asked if Athletic Director Tom Burman's recent resignation was the result of his failure to dismiss former basketball coach Heath Schroyer.
According to UW athletic department sources, who wished to remain anonymous, Burman told Buchanan that he would not fire the embattled basketball coach and that he (Burman) would resign if forced to do so. Buchanan is reported to have responded, "Don't let the door hit you......"
Burman, a native of Laramie, is rumored to be looking for a job in banking.
 
Maybe if we wish hard enough it will all come true?

Though I do believe that asking for a single MWC win is asking for a lot out of this crew
 
"Football Dave Christensen was upset at the firing of Heath Shroyer, saying that the firing payout was not necessary. 'We could have used him as a tacking dummy, saving the university some money'. He also added that many of the basketball team members would have come out for football had this been the case."
 
Can they make Schroyer a high payed water boy and let some dude from the crowd coach? Just tell coach that his job assignment has changed and that he isn't fired but his Co-head coach will be taking over the practices and games?

World's widest tackling dummy. He gains a little more weight and he could become the new "inflatable".

A bit early...but not bad!
 
Well, today is the day I thought that Schroyer would be let go. A bit early yes, but I am still on pace for the rest of it. Burman hasn't hired anyone yet and there a some out there that aren't happy with him..... so who knows.

Maybe the reason he hasn't hired anyone is that he knows he is going too or isn't allowed to hire anyone? Kind of doubt it now, but like I said.... who knows?
