I'm part joking, part serious, part re-acting to the apparent implosion of the football program but I'd like to see a new offensive approach. I'd like to revamp the offensive approach at WSU. Recruit qbs who can run but are mediocre passers and lineman who never step backwards in a pass set. Run some amalgamation of the Academies offenses or the wing T, single wing, wishbone anything that runs all the time. Make the players so one dimensional that it would scare off other teams from poaching them. I'm aware it a somewhat dumb idea but I think we are in an outside box situation.
 
Or stop caring if they leave. Acknowledge that you have a 1 year team. Make decisions accordingly. Move forward.

Even kids playing in a Power T offense will leave.

It's like dating a beautiful woman and insisting she make herself look ugly when in public.

Is that the concept?

This is the way.

Become best at cycling 50 new players every single year

Haha I said the same thing

Run the wishbone or triple option

That will have the same effect as Pig Pen from peanuts in keeping poachers away
 
Build the program, grow the fan base, keep up facilities. Pullman is a fun place to go to college. If kids transfer out, so be it. Others will want in.
