Branch/Wyoming

[GreenandGold]

Is it time for Branch to hang up his spurs and ride off into the hills? The guy hasn't had a winning season in 6 years and still keeps the coaching demeanor of a John Smith smugness. His guys just work the edge yet don't really shoot even then. From watching last night's dual, it looks like he has more interest in trying to manipulate a ref and fight with fans, which if I was an AD, I'd be pretty annoyed with having that lack of class running around wearing my school's logo.

 

Wanted to get others feel as not that long ago, this guy's name was being thrown around as a potential to be the next OSU coach, now it seems he can't coach his way out of his own ego.

He's a good coach and person

Branch is doing pretty well considering what he's got to work with. Imagine his pitch to hot HS wrestlers: "yeah, we're within a thousand miles of an RTC and it's colder here than a witch's titty 90% of the time.  Going outside is a pretty bad idea for 5 months of the year, so get used to some pasty-albino chubby chicks around the university swimming pool. There is nothing to do in the state of Wyoming if you don't plan on joining a white supremacist militia or herd cattle. We do have lots and lots of cold, open space".

They used to field tougher teams than they have in recent years. They may not have had a high volume of AAs but they had consistent respectable lineups. With Volk out, I couldn't name a wrestler in their lineup.

Or he could just tell them about the fly fishing and hunting.  

I bet those Wyoming kids spend at least twice as much time outside as the east coast boys.

Hmmm, Green and Gold. This sounds like a topic started by an NDSU fan whose team just got beaten soundly last night by this horrible Wyoming team.

My bad, I meant RTCs with world class wrestlers, not a bunch of R24 types. Buchanon left Wyoming a couple years back and he's still listed, btw

Not an easy place to coach or recruit, while he's down a bit recently overall you have to say he's done a good job.

I think the emergence of both SDSU and NDSU (pre Kish leaving) hurt them quite a bit, as they are likely fighting for the same limited pool of recruits.

I had Branch near the top of the list of guys to replace John Smith, along with Coleman Scott. I was stunned when OSU hired David Taylor (but pleased).
