After this season success will DC do as many coaches have done before, leave Wyoming as a stepping stone for a bigger school?

What has it been now, 20 years since a coach has used Wyoming as a stepping stone, but yet everyone is worried about it? I think your more likely to end your head coaching career here (fired) than getting picked off by a bigger school.

I hope you are right. Even though his personality has not always been the best, he has done some fantastic things with the team and school. For instance paying for the band to go to CSU on the 3rd out of his own pocket.
Many coaches, I don't think so. No stepping stone job herewyocowboy2014 said:After this season success will DC do as many coaches have done before, leave Wyoming as a stepping stone for a bigger school?
And Gus Mulzahn has apparently had contact. They're all "done deals" according to some. Its rumor season, few turn out to be true.PokePride.com said:Rumor is the North Carolina jobs is Skip Holtz's job of he wants it.

Well, even if he were to leave, the cupboards would be full. We have alot of talent brewing that has been on the sideline. I'd speculate a change in defense this off season. The goal has been to build a football program using the Boise model - promote within. Worst case, we end up with Greg Brandon as the Head Coach.
I'm just speculating though, its not like I know anything or have a crystal ball to look into. I'm not in the least bit worried about him leaving after year #3.
The Virginian said:If DC is smart, and we can all assume he's very smart, he'll eventually parlay this job into something bigger and better. I've always assumed he'll be gone for greener pastures at some point. I assumed that on the first day he had the Wyoming job.
Unlike Dana Dimel, who took the Houston job, (I believe, because he knew he was about to hit a wall with his recruiting and perhaps a little incident involving a pool table), I think DC is going for a much, much bigger job. In the relm of upper tier BCS-type job. In order to do that, he needs to be much more successful at UW then he currently is. He needs a conference championship and his team finishing in the top 10, then he'll be able to command a top tier job.
Which means it's all good for us.
Personally, I'm relaxing and enjoying the ride. :twocents:
