Jeff Schmedding Relieved of Duties
Jake Dickert has made a change, relieving Defensive Coordinator and Linebackers coach Jeff Schmedding of his duties.
After a streak of three losses to end the season, each as double digit favorites, Dickert announced this morning that “After evaluating our program, we have not met the standard defensively”.
While the Cougar defense only gave up 15 points in the season finale, Wyoming took the lead late in the game, converting a 4th and 14 for a TD. This followed up games where the defense allowed a struggling Oregron State offense to to score 41 points and a 5-6 New Mexico to score 38.
