I would probably rank it less of a failure than not bringing in a kicker that won't miss an extra point to win the game or bring players and a special team coach that gave up the same TD run on a kickoff. I think if he got slower it was because of what he did and didn't do.
And the olineman banging on the dlineman isn't exhausting ? And no, if you put Chima in a stance and the olinman that caught him in a stance, Chima is beating him every time. If Chima had Davids wheels, or Trufant's wheels or even Coleman's wheels he doesn't get chased down, angled or whatever someone wants to call it by a Olineman. I simply said it happened, that is when I noticed the decline in overall speed. That is what sprouted this whole discussion. When I was told it didn't happen or I am making stuff up that is how this thing mushroomed. Clearly it did happen. Doesn't mean Chima wasn't a Pac 10 football player. It was just my observation we were slowing down as a team.
That is your opinion. Since the entire team got worse under Wulff's watch, it is likely he just was not good. It is why when Harbaugh was putting together a staff at Michigan, he could have called up Wulff. That he did not speaks volumes.
There is one HUGE difference you are missing. Wulff went from one coach to an outstanding coach at the time in Dennis Erickson. That is like hitting the lottery. The 2008 team went from one coach to Paul Wulff, That is like losing your home in a fire.
Its funny you call my comeback moronic because I was using your very same argument against you...so your insult must have been moronic to begin with.Really? You have to show me where I called your brother a liar. You do make me laugh. Your comeback to me telling you hadn't played sports is to tell me DGibs, myself and a few others never played football. Wow! What an awesome comeback. You must have spent hours thinking of that moronic comeback.
You are paranoid if you think there is a herd mentality.
It speaks volumes to you. You get when he had an opening he hired Wulff. He kept him around for two years. He recommended him to another coach. It easily could be Wulff didn't fit because he had zero midwest ties in recruiting, or there was someone Harbaugh new longer to coach his oline.
1990...Yes, tell me how much much WU improved from 1986 to 1987. This great coach put Broussard in the slot. This great coach had his qb lead the country in picks and the QB went to him in the off seasons and requested Dennis move him to defense. The same coach with other coaches players won two national championships and with his own players was dead last in rushing. But to the point Waldens players regressed in 1987
If you are trying to say Walden was better than Erickson as coaches, then we have nothing to discuss. It is just plain stupid. So are all your points. They are incredibly stupid. All of them.
Yeah, and Walden was such a hypocrite regarding Leach who never physically abused a player.
Michigan also recruits nationwide. Michigan also recruits Florida. And you keep on telling me that I make excuses. A great coach is a great coach. Wulff was fired after one year. He is not good.
You're not qualified to make that judgement 90...especially since you've never played a down of football
Please tell me which D1 QB threw more picks in 87? He had 24. He led the Pac 10 by a fairly wide margin with Wilhelm second with 20.
Wait...first, not sure anyone has said Wulff is a great coach. Yes, he certainly was respected by Harbaugh who hired him and then got him a job at S Florida. Maybe you know more than harbaugh,
Oh...now that is pretty funny. Versus your remarks and others about the pile of crap left, the miracle run of 2013, no players expect two defensive players the last two years picked in the top three rounds, and how all of Wulffs recruits sucked and the coaches sucked, and Chima lost a step due to the syrebgth and conditioning. It sounds like you have given reasons why Leach hasn't had nearly the same success as he had in Lubbock.
Walden achieved more as a coach while at WSU than Erickson did while he was there. That is undeniable.
Yes, we have a good coach now, players will get drafted. The zero tutelage he got from Wulff after signing late was probably the difference, though. Not the work of Cooper, or the coaching of Leach's staff. Wulff left draft picks.
Didn't the DB coach and DC just get canned for having a defense that rivaled 2009?
Could be a lot of things. It does seem odd to me that HArbaugh let him bring him coffee, then when a former staff member needed an OC he contacted Wulff. Maybe he just didn't have the guts to fire him and pawned him off on someone.
