I am beginning to agree, we aren't even close to competative
I hate to talk about our players and I hate to agree with this thread but..... we just do not have division 1 players on this roster. At least not enough to be fielding a competitive team. I actually believe in this coaching staff minus some really dumb game day calls and I believe DC has done the best he can with the athletes we have.
So does that open another can of worms? Can we get the type of head coach who could recruit D1 quality talent to Laramie? That's the question I struggle with.

This is exactly it. The return on investment for this year is 1.2 million per win.
If this is the route to be taken - hear me out.
1.) Hire Joe Glenn as Head coach and pay him $200k a year. Probably a raise from what he is making today.
2.) As head coach, he shouldn't do any coaching, but only management of the team and handle media operations and be the public face of the football team.
3.) $1.2 million - $200K for Joe = $1 million. Joe then takes this and hires the best Offensive and Defensive coordinators he can find. He then sets expecations and goals for each division of the team. Essentially the team looks like two seperate teams with the OC being HC of one and the DC being HC of the other.
4.) ?????
5.) Profit.

I think DC let the cat of the bag last season when he waited so long to sign the contract extension. IMHO, he was waiting for a call from Houston. I believe the players saw what was going on last season and DC is paying the price for it this year. He had already lost the players respect at the end of last season. If I were a player, I would not give 100% effort for a guy that doesn't even want to be here. If DC wants to right the ship, his only hope is to be honest with the players about his commitment to the program and that he was waiting for "that call". He could still be successful at WYO but he really needs to commit 100% to the program and stop waiting for "that call".

He was waiting for a call from Houston that never came. He bluffed the entire deal.23handicap said:
I also agree most players are not a fan. I look at a coach like shyatt that I think truly wants to be here. If he truly wants to be here is kids buy into the program and there is success. DC does not want to be here so why would any player want to give 100% to that. I think some still do but not many.

Um, this is how all Division I football teams work already. In fact when Glenn was at UW he didn't do anything with the O and D, he let coordinators and assistants run the show, the only thing he did during practice was special teams and encourage the O and D.
I also spent 2 years working with the football team at Wisconsin, and Bielema runs things the same. O and D are their own separate entities, occasionally come together to drill/scrimmage against each other, and HC oversees all but does few on-field adjustments himself.

I seriously doubt this will happen. Before "Howdy Doody"-gate, I would have told you there is 0% chance, but now I give it a 5% chance. Just way too much against it to pull the trigger after this season. Yes, DC has had one horrible, ridiculously bad, hell of a season. But on the other hand, he is the reigning MWC coach of the year and just received a fat extension. I see him getting a very short leash for the 2013 season, but that is the worst I forsee. Sorry to rain on the parade, but like most things I think making a sudden, rash decision while we are all angry about getting our asses kicked (again) isn't always the best course of action.
The cause to kill the contract is pretty clear. Therefore I have to agree with the idea- if he loses to CSU, he's gone. No coach in my memory has been on thinner ice from day one. Even Dimmel, post pool table, was able to charm and meld, somewhat.WestWYOPoke said:
Christensen has fashioned himself as some kind of Bear Bryant- hard-nosed, no nonsense, winning. Except the winning part isn't there, and the no-nonsense part vaporized at the end of the AFA game. Even looking back over his body of work- the guy's never put a full team on the field. It's time to move on- offer him the rest of this season and $300K-500K to announce his resignation after the SDSU game, or fire him for cause while the cause is fresh and apparent.

I agree. What needs to happen? Cutout the cancer before it does more damage
Burman's MO? Support the coach, hope it blows over, if it doesnt and it begins to make Burman look bad--take action
Burman gave this guy $1.2 million and 5 years. He gave Schroyer the keys to the cookie jar too. What do the fans in Wyoming get in return? The opportunity to support the most embarrassing programs in the country.
We need to get rid of Burman and DC-Burman as soon as possible, and bring in someone who will return UW to national relevance!!! :tickedoff:
