Bohl News

Interesting Sports Illustrated Story about Bohl and Wyoming (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20140220/craig-bohl-wyoming-cowboys/)

[StL Bison Fan]

Read the story. Two questions.
1. Is Bohls wife that dumb that she really says this stuff? Or he trying to be folksy and makes her look dumb?

2. What AD makes the comment that he can't believe someone pays money to watch girls bb? ( forget our team stuff. Even Gene would never say this)

She doesn't sound dumb or folksy when she's tweeting as FauxCoachBohl....

Good article!

Bohl will turn Wyoming around but I think he will be gone to another program before too long.

[SamsRams]

Article was pro ndsu and our system. It should show gene and Dean that ndsu belongs in mountain west.

per the article
"Bohl's system is "scary similar" to what Osborne did at Nebraska"

That is not pro NDSU, that says NDSU aint crap without Bohl's system. It blows my mind how you read what you want to read Lakes and ignore the obvious.

I always thought his smile was too genuine after the KState win. This just tells us he was smiling because he could chase his dream. He has 3 decent years in Wyoming and he is gone. Best of luck to him, still wish he wouldve left after the Furman game.

If Bohl is there for 5 years, he will definitely have more than 15 wins. Once he gets his players for the west-coast, Wyo will be very good in the MWC.

I disagree, he ain't gonna beat PAC12 teams for recruits, and I don't see him beating Boise for recruits. sorry but Laramie is a hard place to recruit top talent to...

Fargo is no gem to recruit players to either. The thing about Laramie is they have far superior practice facilities when compared to NDSU. Players do look at that. However, I doubt that we will be going head to head with Wyoming for very many recruits.

He only has to excel in MWC to get a big job....no need to beat out PAC 12 for recruits.

What annoys my about the article is when Bohl said "if you can recruit Fargo, you can recruit anywhere."

To me that's bullshit. Were super close to Minneapolis which is loaded with talent. West of MPLS, were one of the largest metros in the midwest. It's always been that way. It's not tough at all to recruit players like Grant Olson, Marcus Williams, and Cole Jirik being that close to home, especially since they get passed over by the Gophers and watch us beat them.

What's tough is recruiting kids from warm weather climate to come here. Thats why we stick to the midwest footprint

To Fargo community has to be slightly tough especially to the minorities. To NDSU I think is a bit easier though. Really I love Fargo and NDSU but other than the last 5-10 years it really hasn't been on anyone's radar too much. The good thing is NDSU has a big alumni group in Twin Cities and that helps with the recognition. Wyoming has to have a fairly large following too I imagine in the Denver area though? That to me would be the target area is Denver and northern colorado area.

I dunno. The midwest in general is very white. Heck the twin cities is only 6% African American, Lawrence and Manhattan Kansas are 5%, and Fargo Moorhead is 3%. Green Bay is 1%
Omaha is 15%. Iowa as a state is 3% with Desmoines being the most diverse at 10%

Laramie is less than 1% and it's small

I think the culture shock may be a little different if your coming from say Florida or the south east, but in general midwest kids are used to all us crazy white folks :)

I think the weather may be a bigger shock. Imagine coming from an area down south where it's warm and half the population is African American. Tons of white folks everywhere and it's cold :rofl: Trying to put myself in those shoes and it would be tough.
Honestly I think people up here are so NICE minorities seek through it. Besides ndsu campus and the FM metro is more entertaining than most people realize but I get why the perception is the way it is

So, assuming on an equal coaching level (assuming Bohl at Both), who would have the better program in the MWC? Wyoming (at thier current 85 scholarship level) or NDSU (at 85 scholarships)? Would NDSU be better than Wyo as a program in the MWC?

Bellevue West wide receiver CJ Johnson committed to Wyoming and the former Nebraska defensive coordinator who coaches them. Bohl, fresh off winning three national titles at North Dakota State, has made a push to offer Nebraska players. Johnson was the first to accept.

Johnson, a three-star prospect according to Rivals, plans on coaxing more local prospects to do the same.

“They’re a great coaching staff, as you can see by how well they did at North Dakota State,” Johnson said Wednesday.

Kid knows about NDSU!! , was #2 prospect in Nebraska.

That poster reminds me of the 2003-2005 posters that NDSU put out. Remember the "fear has a new face" t-shirts from 2003. Wish them the best of luck in trying to duplicate the success that NDSU has had in the recent years.

A group of us went whitewater rafting in Colorado on the 4th. Our guide had a Cowboys bucking horse logo on his helmet and was a Wyoming grad. I asked him if he was a football fan. He was, so I asked how he was feeling about their new coach. He was excited and then asked a bit about NDSU football. It turns out his mom's family is from Bismarck.

[LKB]

I like Wyoming's addition of Craig Bohl, but he's undoubtedly facing an uphill battle. Their current roster is poor and Wyoming is easily the hardest school to recruit to in the MW, and one of the hardest at the FBS level overall. Cowboy fans will have to patient with him, and definitely keep their heads out of the clouds when comparing Bohl's accomplishments at NDSU to what he'll do at Wyoming. I also hope Bohl is ready for the culture shock....at least from a football stand point. This isn't NDSU....I've been to games at Wyoming that had less than 6K fans in the stands.

Wishing him the best, but Wyoming is a damned tough job. He's not coaching the top dog anymore. He's taken over the Indiana State of the MWC. Patience will be a must.

If anyone can do it, it is Bohl. He has a knack of finding the overlooked player and has the old Nebraska philosophy. Honestly if he can't do it, it is simply impossible.

Agreed. If Bohl can't win in Laramie, the Pokes will have achieved lost cause status.

Watching Bohl on Root sports should have gone to today's game I had bison gear on at the Friday Rockies game.

If Bohl can't put something together in Laramie, there must be something systemically wrong in the athletic department. While I am not rooting for the Cowboys anymore (in fact an implosion would make me laugh), it will be interesting to watch this unfold.

I am curious to watch and see what he can build. Nebraska and NDSU both had tradition to work off of, Wyoming not so much seems more of a tradition of losing. I saw a quote from either the Wyoming message board or athletic article with the "those that stay will be champions" quote. Just made me go hmm so I had to look when they last won the championship of the Mountain west and it looks to me that the never have while in the Mountain West. The did have a 3 way tie in the WAC in 93 and won it out right in 87,88 and 66,67 and 68.

The bar is set quite low right now out there so that is a huge plus for the new staff though. Heck just making it to a Bowl and they will be able to eat at THE restaurant in town for free when ever they want :)

[El_Chapo]

I gotta admit, this is pretty dam cool of him.


Bohl, in his first season in Laramie, could accomplish little without the strength of 24 battle-tested Cowboys at his back.

“Those seniors have gone through an awful lot. They came here, and it’s a whole new coaching staff," Bohl said. "When younger players come in, they’re going to look up to the older guys. Their example, and being able to lead in a meaningful way, is important.”

In time, that sacrifice will be rewarded. Even if Wyoming doesn't take the Mountain West Conference by storm in 2014, Bohl has promised this inaugural group of seniors that when the Cowboys win a title -- whenever that may be -- these 24 leaders will also receive championship rings.

Any skyscraper, after all, could never have reached such dizzying heights without a solid foundation.

“That's so big. It means a lot to us," Claiborne said of Bohl's promise. "It makes us want to play for him. It makes it easy to play for a coach when you know he has your back.

"I like playing for Coach Bohl. I really like Coach Bohl a lot.”

My first post wasn't a joke it was actually me wondering if the long arm of the NCAA would take exception to Bohl's plan of giving gifts to his players.

You could argue that it would be impossible for that to be a violation. They're seniors. They have one year of eligibility left. If they get rings this year, it will because they earned them. If they get them after that, they won't have any eligibility left so it wouldn't be a violation.

^^ This. Obviously the news didn't break how he wanted it to and I don't really blame him for how it all went down. Basically I view it as the story leaked, people (fans/media) freaked out, and he went into "oh shit" mode. Yeah, his grin and media pandering was cheesy at times but he got the job done when he was here. I wish him nothing but the best at WY.

Gene Taylor and bohl discussed when to tell the kids bohl wanted the kids to enjoy the victory and was going to tell them the next day. Nobody should be blaming gt or bohl.

[1998braves64]

Imagine if somehow that news broke during the game, maybe the guy knew that he should wait until late in evening thinking Bohl would tell the team after the game? That could have been a disaster, not that it already wasn't. I remember seeing the thread on here but couldn't get it to open! So took to twitter to find out what I could.

WY didn't "announce" it. The AD told the President that the job was accepted and it appears the President told somebody else (probably a booster). Once the information got to somebody in the media and hit social media, it moved at the speed of light. Two lessons learned/relearned: If more than one person knows something, it's not a secret AND Social media moves far faster and kids are way more connected than "old people" will ever understand.

I get that. What people don't seem to understand is the extreme pressure that people are under at the top of an organization when changes are being made. When an AD is responsible for filling a prominent coaching position, he can't tell the President NO when asked if the guy they decided to offer has accepted the position. Likewise, in most situations there are demanding donors who want information and to be kept in the loop about what is going on. The question gets asked and an answer is given. Even if there is an admonishment not to tell anybody, people generally tell somebody else with the admonishment not to tell anybody and it spreads quickly from there. That's why I don't blame Wyoming for what happened. The same thing could, and probably will, happen at NDSU. Lord knows there are enough people even on this site demanding information about things they have no business knowing.

I am not sure about that. I got a text from a friend in Cheyenne that it happened the evening before it broke. I texted him back and told him he was full of shit and that Bohl would never go to WYO.

Reading this, Chapo quoted a post by jarhead. Is that NDSU's jarhead (now Wyoming's, I assume)?

If so, what role did he have at NDSU that would then transfer over to Wyoming, where he would be heavily invested in recruiting (as he was a huge poster in the recruiting threads iirc?)

Pretty sure they're two different people. Our jarhead is still a regular poster here. Their jarhead is the father of one of their wide receivers.

I found this quote on the Wyoming message board interesting. They were talking about how the offseason conditioning has went.

"Coach Bohl has said he has only had one team quit because of being out of shape and/or exhausted......and that was against Wyoming a few years back. Because of this, he wants to use the altitude to our advantage"

Doesn't shock me. Humber was the only defender doing much in the second half and that was chasing guys down from behind.

Bohl is on the front page of the ESPN College Football page. He was interviewed in this:

That altitude is a real MF when I lived in Laramie and would go out drinking there would be hours that I couldn't remember actually get blacked out drunk. They said it was the altitude and I believe it I still drink all the time and never black out in the low country. First night in Laramie my roommates and I went to a pub and had a beer with supper when we got done eating no one wanted to drive home because everyone felt drunk off a beer.

Yep.

I think Coach Bohl will do a great job at Wyoming. His hard-nose style of football is totally different to what the MW is used to and that will translate into success IMO. The MW is soft and the power west coast system will work well there.

[Gully]

I think Bohl and company will get the Pokes to a much improved level and maybe even win a conference championship in time. I think it will be fun to watch for at least two reasons. First, how similar will the schemes be, if they're as similar as I expect, it will be fun to watch the games. Second, how long will it take. My guess is 3-4 years since they probably didn't get much of a successful jump on recruiting despite the anger of some in the Bison camp of their activities.

This is true. I don't think Bohl and co will fail. I think it will be difficult for the culture to change in Wy. They expect to wake up the day of the game and have a bowl team ( spelled bowl). NDSU knows what it takes to have a winning tradition. People who know football know it will take time.

Meant to spread awareness for ALS(Lou Gehrig's). If you take the challenge, you are supposed to put it on social media and challenge others. Sort of a chain mail kind of thing. If you are challenged and refuse to take the bath, you are asked to make a donation to an ALS charity of your choice.

Mountain West has a veer team. I don't know what Boise is running now but I remember them being a balanced team... I think they will fail. Maybe improve some but Wyoming sucks

I just dont see Bohl doing well at WY. Nothing more than a mediocre bowl team

[scottietohottie]

Have any of you ever been to Laramie? Who in their right mind would want to go live there to play football?

You could have a Mountain West team play every non conference game against the SEC top teams, win every game, and have about as much chance of making that playoff as having Lakes be rationale and not troll other team's message boards.....

Why would a five star recruit come to ndsu? Ndsu is not even in the mountain West. Wyoming does have a home field advantage with the altitude and you win all your home games you'll probably make a bowl game and maybe get an ice bath but besides that I don't see what Wyoming really has to offer thanks for the time as a bison bohl but you either went to Wyoming for money or because your ego is so big you think you can build a national power at Wyoming.

I agree. Bohl will be in Wyo for 3 years tops and will make some noticeable improvements in the team on many fronts. At that point, Nebraska or some other school will steal him and he will take the offer and run. There will be no Wyo championships of any sort under his watch. Maybe, however, they end up with such strong momentum so that when Vigen takes over the team in 2017, they continue the improvement and make it all good by winning the MW in 2020.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks Bohl is in Wyoming for the long run, does not understand him.

I honestly think he was thinking of staying in Fargo long term; I think that is why he did the long term deal. It really makes sense; he just got remarried to a younger lady from the area a few years ago, kid was playing across the river, and I always thought he was sincere in his respect for Gene Taylor. But that K St game changed him, and woke up the echos of what was possible and the desire to be a big 5 coach. Cripes, he had Gameday in Fargo, was profiled on national TV; you think that has no effect on a man? He knew he was in the perfect year to make a move, and it really was going to be now or never as his stock would never be higher as an NDSU coach, so he waited for the big 5 offer. Obviously, it never came, yet the Mountain West did and it fit his philosophy criteria. So, he took at as a stepping stone to that big 5 job. If he has success at Wyoming, the Big 5 will no longer be able to ignore him.

I still wish him the best. For those still harboring a grudge toward coach Bohl, I would ask you to put yourself in his shoes and ask what you would do. Yes, some of you would turn down everything to stay at NDSU, but many of us, myself included would do what Coach Bohl did. Could he have conducted himself better after announcing the switch? Yes, but that is not the intention of this post.

When someone acts in such a classless way during the departure, I lose respect for them. I just never will view Bohl in the same light, and I am far from alone in that. It would be OK if my kid finally got a decent team to cheer for in Laramie as he has never known what it is like to have a winning FB program at college. But, there is also a part of me that would smirk like hell to see Bohl get clobbered. The coach of my team is Kleiman!

Sometimes people insist on making things complicated. I remember all the talk about what Craig would do and just what sort of job would be enough to drag him away from Fargo. Quite a bit of it seemed reasonable. Most of it was incorrect. I think he was very happy at NDSU and could have easily stayed there until he retired. It was his "safety net". When Wyoming offered him the job, he had a decision to make and he took it. I think it was the one, and only, real offer he got during the 10 years he was in Fargo. I honestly never thought of Craig as anybody other than a good coach who cared about his players and the people he worked closely with but who, ultimately, would always do what benefitted HIM the most. That makes him no worse than 99.9% of the people I've ever met.

I wonder if Montana is going to do to us what they did on Saturday (Same as Georgia Southern round 2). They ran out the same time as Wyoming did. Sounds like it worked and calmed their crowd as they didn't know if they should cheer or boo.

It is interesting reading their board as there are some talking about it seeming like they ran the same 2 or 3 run plays all day. It has to be a huge switch to watch going from a spread to a power we are going to shove it down your throat team. It takes a certain kind of fan base to appreciate that kind of football.

Here is a nice little article about what happens when trying to run a power offense with players recruited for a spread offense. It's going to take some time to get the right players in the system.

[CAS4127]

Not sure about radio stuff, but I know she comes here often for personal/family things.

My question why does it matter?

She did post on FB recently that she ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Fargo or something like that.

I'm not "friends" with her but have friends who are--that's how I saw her post.

Again tho, who cares?!

I never trust facebook for tracking. It's not accurate enough. When I want to know where she is, I just pull up the app I installed on her phone. It's accurate up to 25ft although the stupid judge told me I have to stay at least 300ft away.

Guys, this is one instance where he doesn't deserve the criticism. He's obviously a Facebook friend and if she posts a lot about what she's doing, it isn't even close to "stalking". As CAS said, he has friends who have told him the same things because they see it too. It's not weird.

Not judging. My comment was only to point out that we have Lakes talking about her spicy pie and how she used to come all the time but can't anymore. Then I start seeing facebook screenshots. Maybe I'm getting the details mixed up but you get the point.

And can't you be in one place and broadcast on the radio for another place? Weather guys do it all the time, so Mrs. Bohl doesn't have to be in Fargo to do a fargo radio show.

But she was at spicy pie Game Day.

Interesting article about how our staff spent some time at Michigan State while Bohl was here...

Wasn't pat perles the connection? ( I didn't read)

Didn't see Perles mentioned specifically. Just a lot of talk about how our former offensive coaches would go to East Lansing in the summer to talk football with MSU's coaches.

Quote from Bohl...


"Our offensive staff has spent extensive time with the Michigan State staff over the years,'' Bohl said, "so a lot of the schemes are similar.''

[scottietohottie]

Jamal Spencer has the hook up when it comes to Michigan state.

[HerdBot]

Hey don't rip on Bohl. But it's OK to rip on President B, the new AD, Troy Goergen, Teammakers, and the entire D2 minded athletic department. But not Craig Bohl (purple font)

I think you are correct. Are Wyoming fans smart enough to know Bohl can't turn this sinking ship around in one year? Best they can hope for is likely one significant upset. Folks forget that after Bohl's big upset in Montana, that team screwed the poach at UN_.......

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

I never knew this.. but found it on ESPN..

Mark Dantonio said he and Craig Bohl were both up for an assistant job at North Dakota State back in the day. Bohl got the nod.
— Austin Ward (@AWardESPN) Sept. 23, 2014

Guessin he meant head coaching job. Just think what would have happened if Dantonio would have been here instead of Bohl.

Pretty sure this was an assistant position with Morton's staff.

Yes they'll lose to msu. Then finish middle of MWC in year 1 6-6

[ndsubison1]

will be interesting to see how they do in conference. already 1-0, but theyve barely been getting by bad teams. that being said not much to work with down there. their RBs are pretty good though in Wick, May, and Hill.

I must say though, that you have to take into consideration two things. 1. Bohl didn't take his D-Coord with him to Wyo. The last two that he has had set a pretty high standard. 2. It's a new system to the kids actually playing the game. It's a difficult defense to learn. That being said, Go Bison!

And I'd add......Bohl didn't take the "NDSU - all who stay will be champions" culture with him to Wyoming either. I give Bohl his due credit with the football program, but the football dynasty was not all him.

[HerdBoy]

That has to be a tough road trip though. How many time zones is that? Then they play the game at night. I watched the entire UNI game and I think it ended at 2 am central time.

[bisonpride4ever]

They had a bye week before the Hawaii game. They could've prepared some for it. I remember in high school, we played Oak Grove two years in a row at like 7-8 am at the FargoDome. That whole week we had practice before school at 6am everyday to get used to playing at the time of the day. We destroyed them both games. Granted OG was horseshit.

It was coined at the University of Michigan.

It was coined at the University of Michigan.

And it was being used here before I stepped on campus in the mid-80's.

My favorite quote used by NDSU athletics is the one in the weightroom that states: "Your competition got stronger today. Did you?". That was a motivator for me for whatever reason.

The "lack thereof" of a killer instinct and horrible playcalling in OT, all you have to do is get 1 1st down then work on getting it to the endzone, but 4 straight runs. Our secondary playing 8-10 yards off the ball and playing the receivers from behind, also, turn and look for the ball when it's thrown, etc, etc I could go on and on and on, but we get the just!!!

Also, the QB's uncle posted on the board. Somebody said he got in a students face and swore at said student. Kinda entertaining.
