I have said this many times, Wulff should have been fired because of the cloud clearly over his head. Aside from mistakes that were made, Cory MacKay neck injury. Non football related. Leandre McDaniel being put in a halo and ending his career. Pellum gets booted, Frietag and Ayers have career ending injuries. Dan Rowlands quit after going to fall practice and before the first game. Roxas has weird blood disorder that put him on the shelf for the year. Air Justin gets booted for PED's and he is a buck 60. Pencer gets booted for academic fraud. Roof gets booted for drinking. Ivory gets booted because of legal problems. He seemed to have at least stopped the revolving door at LT with David Gonzales and he breaks a leg. It was unreal.
He took an unnecessary hit. He should have been out of bounds at the 12.
Must not have been coached into him. Wulff must have been a "turn it upfield" guy- would explain the unprecedented number of QB injuries during his tenure.
It has zip to do with "HEALTHY. It has to do with risk. Riley Cooper played for Urban Meyer against Charleston S. Cooper was getting worse as the game went on. He puked on the field. Yet Meyers kept him out there even when it was 14-0. Both "played sick". WSU chose to give Tuel fluids via an IV. Cooper caught 8 passes, and one TD after he puked.
Yep, sure that is exactly what was coached. And Leach teaches stay in the pocket while your center is being bull rushed and snap a leg.
Oh, WSU CHOSE to give him the IV. Tuel was healthy as a horse, but the staff thought the IV would be fun!
Gotta make your defense about the current coach. It's like oxygen to you. Probably stupid by Halliday, right?
If you had to honestly guess, which philosophy is closer to Paul Wulff's coaching:
Nope not at all. It was stupid not to coach Sam Flor up better to protect Halliday.
So, when Leach does it, it should have been coached better. But when it happens to Wulff, well, the player should have better understood his coaching. Never mind that Flor's lapse was against one of the two or three most athletically gifted players in all of college football on the best overall collection of defensive talent, and an impaired Tuel's lapse was against Idaho STATE. One coach is at fault, the other is blameless. The blameless one is the one who always lost.
The Flu doesn't exist! He took on a LB! No, not "took on" in the universally accepted definition of the words, but totally by a different, made up definition! He was cleared by the medical staff! If Wulff had held him out, he'd look so mean, and how can he recruit if people think he's mean!
He was cleared to play. It isn't that hard to understand. They have 10 trainers and the doctor on the field. He was evaluated and cleared. He should have stepped out of bounds, it really is that simple. Talk to a coach. Any coach, and see how "crazy" it is. .
Nope, bum knee. It hurt. Had a fever and chose not to get out of the pocket. Again, players play sick all the time. Just type in puking on Google, it is your friend.
Your "when we've been saying "taking on", we actually meant the kind of taking on where you don't take anyone on" was pretty impressive.
The doctors cleared him.
If it were, you'd have found an example to match Wulff's choice. Players play sick all the time- they also ALL start, apparently. Just not Tuel.
To be fair, it only ranks so low because of all the bad decisions. And let's consider this- after five wins in three years, if you've got a kid who's too sick to start the game, and you come out with huge momentum on the back of a different QB- why make the change?
A coach would never tell a player to go a little extra at a competitor who wasn't 100%, either. Just impossible.
With all due respect, I showed you numerous cases where peopel were sick with the flu and puking on the field and performed and their coaches didn't sit them. Clearly they didn't think it was that big a deal.
Yeah and if he goes out at the 12 like they are suppose to then none of that is in play, is it?
With equally due respect, you showed me ONE scenario where a player who couldn't START wasn't sat by coaches, and that's probably, one of the ten most durable NFL players ever. That's NOT Jeff Tuel. So, you don't need to behave like Wulff made a choice that happens all the time- it's rare, but he made it, and it went bad.
It's also not in play if the coach just leaves the hot QB out there, rather than replacing him with a guy who was less than 100%.
Me and my brother call posting on here arguing with idiots. There are many that grace this board.
YOU kept hammering that he took on a linebacker, you moron. Nobody else.
You're an idiot Wulffui. Anyone who names himself after the worst coach in our history...and then bashes him all day every day is a F'ing idiot. But you already knew that.
I was right. You were wrong, mainly because you made stuff up. Lacking facts, you say dumb shit about people's usernames and football experience, that have nothing to do with the discussion. And you'll defend Wulff at any cost, to the point that you have to ignore centuries old medical science.
