Top 10 Coaching Hires according to Jeremy Fowler

[NowherePoke]

I have a feeling Craig Bohl - as long as he is winning - will stay here for a long time. I do think he may leave for a few jobs such as Nebraska, maybe something in the Big Ten. He seems to like the smaller towns and being out west.

Maybe. I wouldn't call Fargo-Moorhead small though. Almost a quarter million people live there.

I would say the relevant comparison is that Bohl is at least comfortable in a relatively remote locale. Fargo/Moorhead is bigger or comparable to the size of towns that host many P5 schools that could hire away a MWC coach (Ames, Lawrence, Manhattan, Stillwater, South Bend, Lafayette, Champaign-Urbana, Iowa City, Starkville, Oxford, College Station, Columbia, the list goes on and on). The difference is that most of those areas have larger population centers nearby and higher level of density throughout their region. Fargo is pretty remote by the standards of the Continental U.S. (although not to Wyoming residents) as there is very little in the way of population within 200 miles (twin cities are just over 200 miles away).

Totally different environment than Wyoming/Laramie though.

Denver is only about 3 hours away...

Less than that really. Didn't intend to portray Laramie as extremely remote. It's not, at least by Wyoming standards. Just trying to find some comparison between Laramie and Fargo because, as BackHarlow notes, they are not even close in terms of size or amenities.
