Re: Logan High Sargent to WYO!

He is a good receiver with good size and good speed. He stated that he did not want to go to college in Logan, also our program is in a state of flux. Bohl has been at Wyoming for 6 or 7 years now he makes $600,000 more than what we pay our coach so he most likely will be there for some time. Wyomin...

Re: Coaching Candidates

Keep in mind that Johnny did not really want coach A to begin so when this year started to go south he had some folks in mind and had contacts with. If he does not strike out on the top few candidates we could have a coach by seasons end.

We always get up in arms about coaching hires, especially for football and basketball. I now realize that the most important hire is probably the AD.
IMHO at USU it is the president that is most important.
