After finishing the season with a loss Friday at Colorado State, Wyoming coach Joe Glenn fired offensive coordinator Bill Cockhill today.
Cockhill was hired in 2003, and going into Friday’s game the Cowboys’ offense ranked No. 107 overall and 109th in points (18.6) in Division I-A. Wyoming’s best season under Cockhill was 2004 when it averaged 26.5 points per game and 369.8 total yards.
“I appreciate Bill’s past contributions to our program, but I feel that it is time to change the direction of our offensive staff,” Glenn said in a statement. “We of course wish Bill and his family all the best in the future.
Glenn said he would conduct a national search for a new coordinator. Cockhill had one year remaining on his contract at a base salary of $123,000 per year, the school said.
