There have been candidates in the pipeline for a while. One in particular that wants the job and is well connected to the business community in the PNW. They’ve been prepared to replace Chun since OSU was open. Doesn’t sound like we’ll be disappointed with his replacement and will probably be a significant upgrade.Looks good to me. We need to get some Coug Alums back in these positions for the slog ahead
Hopefully we can move quick. Need to get the right basketball hire moving.There have been candidates in the pipeline for a while.

A significant upgrade has been needed for a long while, good to hear there's been any type of proactive approach.There have been candidates in the pipeline for a while.

I could see them reaching out to Bill Moos and see if he would serve as a consultant until we get on our feet .Hopefully we can move quick. Need to get the right basketball hire moving.
Yeah, Bill can make another recommendation to rival the time he recommended Paul Wulff as head coach.I could see them reaching out to Bill Moos and see if he would serve as a consultant until we get on our feet .

You mean the Bill Moos who did an Irish goodbye to Schulz when he slinked off to Nebraska? Not quite as bad as the uw AD but pretty obvious no love between those two. Plus we need to hire a basketball coach and I don’t want to see Ernie Kent in Pullman for round 2.I could see them reaching out to Bill Moos and see if he would serve as a consultant until we get on our feet .

As usual? When was the last time Ed had a good call?Good call as usual Ed.
One thing about Mr. Moos: He understands the importance of building first-class facilities
John Johnson’s name is mentioned in the newspapers.There have been candidates in the pipeline for a while.

Would provide stability and in the final few years of his career, wouldn’t have one foot out the door.
I got to know John at WSU. Great, great guy. Should have hired him instead of Chun (good job Schulz). He had a better resume, and was a Coug through and through. He must be about 65 now, maybe too late. But we could pay a lot more than PSU, and I would take him on a 5-year contract if he was available.I met Johnson in Las Vegas about 15 years ago at the Mandalay Bay. We were eating at the breakfast buffet and there was a guy there dressed from head to toe in WSU gear. Pullover, pants and shoes. The gear looked like it was university issued. Introduced myself and he said he was John and that he worked for WSU in the athletic department. Never gave any indication that he was the Assistant AD at the time. Super polite and friendly and zero arrogance.
YOUR WSU ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTWe now have an AD.
Leave the assistant AD seat vacant and save money.
I think he is referring to when I called a fellow poster an arrogant douche bag and many posters agreed. I think that is the post he was referring to.As usual? When was the last time Ed had a good call?
Does he have experience managing $250,000,000 in debt in the face of falling revenue, contracting enrollment, high inflation, restricted capital markets, higher rates and getting booted from Power 5?What about the AD from Boise State. He has been doing good things over there.
Not the ones that made leach turn out okMike Leach turned out OK (and CPW recruited some of those players) 🤷♂️
This is a good point. Off the top of my head, I couldn't think of a single standout during the Wulff era. But pulling the rosters, we had NFL talent. Travis Long, Jeff Tuel, John Fullington, .... Not a total loss.Not the ones that made leach turn out ok

Wulff had some guys that ended up being solid contributors for the 2013 New Mexico Bowl team. It's important to remember that the New Mexico Bowl was probably Wulff's ceiling...if he was lucky.
Flat, do you think CPW eventually would've turned WSU into a consistent middle-tier/mid-December bowl team if given another 2-3 years? Nothing earth-shaking, but the 1-11 and 2-10 seasons would be a thing of the past.
As @Suudy mentioned, there were some unheralded recruits that Coach Leach would develop for the next level.
It kinda seemed that CPW's plan was to proceed slowly but surely as if he had 7-10 years to build a foundation (and maybe that's what Coach Walden was telling him).
Agree. For all of the many things that made him a poor choice as a P5 HC, he did have some good points. I think your numbers are probably pretty realistic.I don't think that we would have had a bunch of 1 or 2 win seasons in the future under Wulff, but I see him as kind of coach that goes 4-8, 6-6, 3-9, 5-7, 7-5, 4-8, 6-6. Maybe go to a bowl every other year or so but have an overall losing record. Not the guy that any program is actually looking for.
For starters he busted his ass as a player and LOVED WSU. You can clown on him for his coaching record and still appreciate that he gave blood sweat and tears to be a Coug. I’ll always respect him for that.Agree. For all of the many things that made him a poor choice as a P5 HC, he did have some good points. I think your numbers are probably pretty realistic.
His wife was kind of a hotty.......Agree. For all of the many things that made him a poor choice as a P5 HC, he did have some good points. I think your numbers are probably pretty realistic.

I think when he could make a senior-heavy team align with a favorable schedule, we’d be able to hit as high as 8-4. Call it once per decade. More often, we’d be 4-8.I don't think that we would have had a bunch of 1 or 2 win seasons in the future under Wulff, but I see him as kind of coach that goes 4-8, 6-6, 3-9, 5-7, 7-5, 4-8, 6-6.

In the NIL era, we may never see .500.
