The Laramie Football Ledger

Off Season 2024

In a surprising twist that has sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, the Wyoming Cowboys have made a bold move by hiring David Andrews, the highly successful head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, to lead their program. Andrews, who orchestrated three consecutive Grey Cup championships in the CFL, takes the reins from Craig Bohl, who recently retired. The decision to bypass defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel, the presumed heir apparent, in favor of Andrews marks a dramatic shift for the Cowboys. Andrews brings a no-nonsense approach to Laramie, emphasizing hard-nosed football, local recruiting, and smart play. Known for his philosophy of building from the trenches, Andrews believes in winning the line of scrimmage and leveraging that foundation to control the game. “We aren't going to be running a lot of trick plays or complicated RPOs,” Andrews explained. “Line up against your man, beat him one-on-one, and do it for 60 minutes.” Wyoming fans have every reason to be excited. Andrews' track record speaks for itself, and his commitment to old-school football values aligns perfectly with the Cowboys' ethos. He sees the Mountain West region as an underappreciated talent pipeline and aims to make Wyoming the top choice for local recruits. "Every kid from Bosman to Roswell should have our program in mind when they think college," Andrews said. As the Cowboys prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on how quickly Andrews can implement his system and elevate Wyoming football to new heights. His promise to maintain the gritty, tough brand of football that fans have come to love is a reassurance that the program is in good hands. "Our expectation is no less than being at the championship game for the Mountain West Conference," Andrews declared. The anticipation in Laramie is palpable, with the fanbase eagerly awaiting the dawn of a new, gritty era under Coach Andrews' leadership.
