If the Cougs lose Saturday, they will have the same conference record as the women's team.

Pac-12 Women - 5 ranked teams
Pac-12 Men - 0 ranked teams

Kent - year 5, all his guys
Ethridge - year 1, devasted roster when she came in

 

[SaveFerris]

With Molina/Hristova (and Swedlund/Kostokourva) "devastated" is a bit hyperbolic but point taken. Kent was hired to babysit and not whine. Moos didn't (or listen) do enough in his due diligence putting Chun in a tougher spot than he would be otherwise.

Will be an interesting month or 3.

All will be the same despite the protestations of fans. If nothing else the economic situation calls for more time Also the corner has been turned on recruiting and the roster will be a changed roster next year.

Same thing you’ve said every year since Kent has got here. Maybe it’s time to cut bait.

 

[ElComanche]

Ok supply the bait ,money, and we will go from there A couple of million dollars in your back pocket?

If I was a shameless troll/stalker like some on this site (the Lair), and had even less of a life than I do, I would go back and search endless posts looking for confirmation or refutation of this. But I'm not, and I won't.

 

[ElComanche]

Yes i like to live in the present. Now what about the buried treasure?

The present, a disaster, pure and simple. Much worse a job than his predecessor.

 

[jourdand]

El you don’t say he’ll be back because of money! You say he’ll be back because he is doing a good job and just needs more time!

 

[ElComanche]

Yup perhaps disaster aid is necessary let all contributors of at least 100 K step forward. There you go again beating the drum for your favorite coach. : ) Yes the recruiting is definitely on the upturn.

 

[7ICoug]

Yes the recruiting is definitely on the upturn.

Really, I note only 2 Star players have been recruited. Even tho I like some of the players like Elleby, and others they are not high Pac12 type recruits. Easy enough go to Verbal Commits and contrast UW and WSU recruiting for 2019. I see no Stewart or Battle types on our list. Nor even a Tsohonis.

As a famour/infamous WSU coach once stated, Its all about the Johnny and the Joe's. Or sometimes the system. Bennett/Leach.
