First of all, it's they're not there. Secondly, Wyoming was trending downward before he got there, now they are 4-2 and trending upwards, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. As for the struggles the past 2 years, I suspect that they didn't have the talent to play the system that he wanted to run when he first got there, now they do and the results are showing. I think Craig Bohl is a heckuva coach.
 

This year, he has wins over:

Air Force - which is 4-1 including a win over Navy (who just beat Houston)

Colorado State - More impressive than the Gophers managed

He lost bad to Nebraska badly - but I think that is expected given the talent gap. The big test will be how competitive they will be vs. Boise State.

I think he would be an excellent fit here and I would take a chance on him over a high paid retread that couldn't get it done with far superior talent or a lifelong coordinator. I don't understand how Gopher fans continually poo-poo anyone outside the program while propping up the internal candidates despite a pretty long track record of middling success.
 

I agree with you obviously - he took over a program in disarray and the results look pretty good so far. Amazing how the people saying that the first 2 years look bad wanted to give Kill about 4-5 years before judging him so he could recruit and implement his system. I think Bohl knows how to coach up players and that is what we need. We are not going to be out-recruiting anyone in the B1G - heck, Illinois and Indiana have better recruiting classes usually despite their on field difficulties.

And Kill proved his ceiling was 8 wins. The question with Kill was always whether he would be able to recruit enough talent to compete for a Big Ten title and he wasn't able to. That doesn't mean a coach can't come in here and do that.

Bohl is not that guy, plus he's 58. How many coaches have made the leap to a top conference and been successful at nearly 60 years old?

Granted a few years younger - but I see a lot of parallels with Chris Petersen as the big fish in a small pond. I would bet that Washington will be a legit Pac power as long as they can keep him.

Chris Peterson took over Boise St when he was 42, and turned down better jobs for years. Bohl became Wyoming's head coach at 55. Not close.
 

Plus there's that incident with Bohl at Nebraska, don't really want a guy like that representing us
 

I find it absolutely funny as hell that people on here seriously mention Bob Stoops. Unbelievable the ridiculousness.

Might Les Miles end up at Missouri or another SEC school next year? Missouri promoted from within and are 2-4, 0-3. The new guy (Barry Odom) has never been a HC and has a recruiting class ranked right with Minnesota's for next year (in the 50's). That isn't lighting a fire.
