People drive eight to ten hours just to watch Wyoming football. Matsakis resigned as the ESU head coach to become the offensive coordinator at Wyoming. Wyoming is the first collegiate program he will enter with a winning program. They've only lost eight games in the past two years. Matsakis hopes he can bring his winning plays utilized at ESU to the Western Athletic Conference and have continued success.
Every coach has a position they aim for.
For the past two years at ESU, Matsakis has worked on his high powered offense to sell tickets. Since 1995 his team has led the MIAA in total offense and in 1997 he led the nation in total offense. Next year at Wyoming, Matsakis will have two games on ESPN giving his offense national exposure. Their first game will be against this year's national champions, Tennessee. We were competing with Bethany and Ottawa to sell a dream for interstate recruits.
