@ SJSU

One thing I know for sure is Wyoming won. Now I have eat my words and go to the game on Saturday as I had sworn not to if they sucked against SJSU.
I just did not think you could find someone as inept as Sawvel and Bohl Jr. coaching a MW team.
 
. Does anyone know if we have anyone doing that kind of stuff for Sawvel?
My guess is no. Many of these math modeling decisions are used for clock management (when to call timeouts, when to go for it/punt, etc…). And Sawvel has been consistently absolutely horrible in that department routinely making decisions that defy math.

My nerdiness is definitely showing through. I love statistics and probabilities (aced every exam in that class at Mines) and believe we underutilize those tools. In an AI world where the numbers can be run extremely fast, I suspect it becomes a bigger factor in all sports and many other decisions in the workplace and life.

NIU’s coaches might give Sawvel a run for his money. Since Rob Harley joined the program as DC and then ‘interim head coach,’ NIU is 3-14 with a loss to an FCS school.

Before the current staff, NIU was a MAC powerhouse going 186-128, winning 5 MAC championships and appearing in 9 championship games in the preceding 25 years.

Talk about taking a successful program and burying it.

To be clear: I don't think Sawvel is going to be our coach next year. I think he's in over his head. I'm rooting for the guy, but I don't think he's the answer.
I would be very surprised if he isn’t our coach to start the year next year. I just don’t see a scenario that could play out where he isn’t (especially now with 3 wins).
