If he bolts after helping put the university through this shit show and before solving the problems, he’ll move pretty high up on the F U list.
 
I wouldn't blame him for moving on. He was never gonna be a lifer. All this drama going on Im not surprised at all.
 
I don't begrudge Chun for exploring other options, but this isn't going to help us attract any so-called "splash hires."

Pending lawsuit with previous head coach. AD exploring other job vacancies. Seems like we're going to be garnering interest from only the most desperate candidates.

Catholics are known to be quite vocal as well.
As a Spokane native, I'm fluent in Irish-Catholic. Semi-fluent in Italian-Catholic.

It's those damned Presbyterians you have to watch out for. They are into that synod organizational structure and debating and stuff like that. Always about gathering the votes.

Ridiculous. There is no coach chasing a job that pays millions that gives a shit about the last HC suing the school. Desperate to get a check that big? Yes. Tons of them.

It's not ridiculous to be concerned when the AD who hired you leaves for another job.

You have plenty of coaches that you don't want to hire who would be thrilled to collect a 3 million dollar paycheck. Someone who can collect 3 million elsewhere? They will stay away.

It is ridiculous to think that the last coach suing the school impacts the new coach. It is ridiculous to think that WSU will be hiring a coach smelling if desperation. AD that hires you leaves? Still going to the bank with millions. I dont feel bad for that coach. He doesnt feel bad for himself either.

There are what, 65 P5 jobs? Not everyone gets one. Low supply of jobs, high demand from coaches.

Texas Tech wasn't a plum job when Leach was suing them.
 
You want a coach who can succeed at this level. There are a lot less than 65 coaches who can succeed in Pullman.

I did not put a number on it. Actually, I think there are more than 65 coaches that could be successful at WSU. The issue isn’t the coaches. The issue is the admin identifying them. Actually, that is an issue for most administrations. They do not have a clear, distinct vision for what fits, what works, what their school requires.
 
Chun isn't staying here forever. I personally think most big programs are going to want to see how the hoops hire works (big fix) and how the football hire goes. Other sports are doing well.

WSU is largely succeeding based on the culture and the abilty to find talent. Moos did a great job in improving the facilities and eliminating that "poor us " attitude (victim mentality) that has plagued us in the past.

Biggs is spot on when he says we should have a line quality coaches that want to work here. The next Pac-12 media deal and what our new commish is going to do is going to raise the bar for us more than any school in the nation.

The poor us mentality is a cancer that still plagues WSU.

We are going to get an Ernie Kent type.

Someone who wore out his welcome at a prior spot but had some pretty nice success. Doesn't have the necessary hunger but wants to collect a fat check. Understands his job is to keep his mouth shut and not make waves. Someone like Tommy Tuberville in 2010.

Tuberville at TT was 20-17 & 9-17 in Big 12 Conference games.
And he left for Cincinnati by pulling an Irish exit on a recruit while having dinner at their house. He excused himself to use the bathroom and just bounced. That guy is a coward.

14 seasons as an SEC coach, only 3 losing seasons.

21 seasons as a HC over 4 different schools, 5 losing seasons.

15 bowl games.

Im not commenting about him being a good guy or bad guy. Im saying he is a good coach. To make him out to be a bad coach is crap.

He was burnt out by the time he reached Texas Tech. There is a reason no one hired him for a year.
 
Well that and he tanked both Texas Tech and Cincinnati by coasting.

No he did not.

Texas Tech:
8-5
5-7
7-5

2 bowl games in 3 seasons.

Cincinnati:
9-4
9-4 League title
7-6
4-8

3 bowls in 4 seasons. That’s not tanking. What Paul Wulff did to WSU was tanking.

WSU has been to 16 bowl games in 102 years of football. Maybe 17 this year.

Tommy Tuberville has been to 15 bowl games in 21 seasons as a head coach over 4 different programs.

He has 3 national championships as an assistant at Miami and his 13-0 Auburn team was denied a title game birth in 2004.

But please continue with more of your uninformed drivel about how he is a bad coach.

9-17 in conference games is not good.
