We should all be grateful.
We need to savor this moment now, as we all know, a pickup truck full of cash is on its way, come late November./early December. Very sad. Unless....and I mean unless.....he is The Mark Few of Washington State.
He very well could be a semi Mark Few of WSU. Leach turned down money for 8 years, before he left to Miss St.
If WSU goes 10-3, 11-2, 11-1, 12-0, AND if Dickert is offered enough money, if ever there was a WSU coach that could temporarily turn it down, and stay for 3,4,5,6,7 more years, before finally taking the money, going elsewhere, it's Dickert.
And that's because Dickert was born and raised in a small country town in Wisconsin, and played College football, and coached at small country town colleges in Wisconsin, Wyoming.
He truly sincerely loves WSU, Pullman. His wife, family love WSU, Pullman, his kids are in the Pullman public school system, and love it.
And in a interview Dickert had with various credible sources, Dickert told them that he didn't want to have a lifelong career of being a College Football HC, NFL coach, and that there was more important things then money, and that he might probably retire semi early from WSU, and might probably retire semi early being a College Football HC, coaching etc, after enough time, and then choose to do something else, other things with his life. But that for a semi long time, he likes, is going to be a College HC, WSU HC, etc.
Now that could change, and maybe that does change. Maybe he stays for a while like a Semi Mark Few. Maybe he leaves after 2,3,4,5,6 years, etc.
So WSU could have Dickert for 2,3 years to 5 years to 7 years to 10 to 13 years, before losing Dickert to either more money as a HC at a BIG TIME College, or to Semi Early Retirement.
However long Dickert Stays at WSU, WSU will be lucky to have him.
