Craig Bohl, Wyoming Football
LARAMIE, WYO. – A former Nebraska Football alum, Craig Bohl, has announced that he is going to retire after his current team’s bowl appearance.
Bohl, the Wyoming Football coach who also led North Dakota State to three FCS National Titles while keeping that success with the Cowboys, announced Wednesday that he plans to step away at the conclusion of the Arizona Bowl.
The school promoted defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel to replace Bohl after the bowl game. Sawvel is finishing his fourth year as Wyoming’s defensive coordinator after similar posts at Minnesota and Wake Forest.
Bohl, 65, is completing his 10th season at Wyoming, which has reached a bowl game in six of the past eight seasons and will face Toledo on Dec. 30 in Tucson, Arizona. Wyoming has won three bowl games under Bohl, the most under any coach in team history.
Bohl, a Nebraska assistant under Tom Osborne and Frank Solich, and a Nebraska defensive back under Osborne, came to Wyoming after going 104-32 at North Dakota State and capturing FCS national titles in each of his final three seasons there (2011, 2012, 2013).
