When it came to filling a full-time hole, Wyoming and Craig Bohl didn’t have to look far. In either the football building or the family dinner table.
Thursday, the Cowboys announced that Aaron Bohl will become the team’s full-time linebacker’s coach. Bohl had been serving in that position since Willie Mack Garza resigned in late October after being arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
Bohl, the son of Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl, had been a defensive graduate assistant for his father’s program prior to his in-season elevation. The younger Bohl had been in his grad assistant position since joining the Cowboys in January of 2017.
In addition to Bohl’s permanent promotion, the program also announced a title adjustment for Bart Miller. Moving forward, Miller will serve as the Cowboys’ run-game coordinator. Miller will continue on as offensive line coach as well.
In his first season as line coach, Miller’s unit helped pave the way for 214.8 yards rushing per game. That number was 23rd nationally and second in the Mountain West Conference. Miller came to Wyoming in February of this year from Ohio.
The twin announcements came days after Wyoming’s Arizona Bowl win over Georgia State. The Cowboys finished the 2019 season 8-5.
