I've watched a lot of Wyoming games this last year. He did a pretty damn poor job. During his best years here, the Bison could typically gain 4-5 yards on 1st down. Vigen was able to do a variety of things in 2nd and 3rd. It worked really well for Vigen, culminated by the 2013 season.
Now Imagine the Cowboys only getting 1-2 yards running on every 1st down (not necessarily Vigen's fault), but Vigen calling plays the exact same way for entire games with no adjustments at all. That was pretty much all last season even though he had Josh Allen. It pretty much felt like all the games Wyoming won last year were Josh overcoming Vigen's stubbornness to get a running game going at all costs. And he stayed locked into giving a converted linebacker carries 50 percent of the time when another running back was clearly better. I was pretty surprised by it all.
I would love to see Hazelton back here at some point though.
Scottie H next move will be to the NFL IMO....

" Our strategy for winning against BISON was simple, we put our WRs and RBs in a 1 on 1 situation with their defense in the backfield.....everybody knows they have some freshman who cannot tackle in a 1 on 1 situation.....Joe Glen"
sorry but your wrong, we retained the marker in 14 and 15! lost it in 16 with a last second play at the end, then curb stomped them in the playoffs! They do still have it yes, but it took a 5 turnover game from us last year for them to keep it. Which was on us not the play calling. It will be back this year!!!
