And this is Dick’s Bill Doba moment. Either fire the assistants that suck and be a HC or don’t. And watch the program slide and then everyone gets fired. When it’s time to be the boss and CEO you have to be willing to make tough decisions. If he can’t fire his OC and OL coach after this, what is the bottom? What is the least he is willing to accept?
My concern is this…. Dick doesn’t know what he’s looking at. He doesn’t know a good OC or OL coach when he sees one. These are the 2 most important hires on his offense. He f’ed up both of them.
He has zero clue what a P5 qb is. All this talk about Ward and how great he was and he is the real deal… He sucks. Bad decision after bad decision. Led the team to 10 points today. This is 7 games in. When does he get better???? Ward got cash and a truck. What did WSU get? He is out of his league. Truly. He is a Big Sky qb.
As much as I want to see Eric Morris the OC, fired, replaced with a competent one, you don't fire mid season, and wait until after the season, and there is a argument to be made that Dickert might replace Eric, with a worse OC.
.
Also next year WSU will have a pretty good O Line, with a good WR corp, with a good Jenkins, RB Corp, with a good defense, etc, to where WSU SHOULD WIN 8,9,10,11 games , next season, assuming either Eric does at least a ok job, or the replacement OC, does a ok job.
If Eric can't get 8,9,10,11, wins out of next season, then for sure he should be fired then, if not fired after this season, and he probably should be fired after this season, but a argument could theoretically be made to give Eric the chance to get 8,9,10,11 wins out of next season, and if he doesn't then fire him either mid season, or after next season.
Clay on the other hand needs to go after the end of this season for sure.
