I did not know Millard actually spent 17 weeks in jail while in Pullman. Pizza guy? And his recruitment - talk about under the radar...

"Walden brought immeasurable stability to the program, recorded three winning seasons and, in 1981, led the Cougars to their first bowl berth in five decades. But he struggled with what he saw as a lack of financial support and finally bid a tearful farewell after going 3-7-1 in 1986, saying he had accepted an offer from Iowa State. He clearly wasn't leaving for the money - in the personal sense.

In his 2013 memoir, "Tales from the Washington State Cougars Sideline," Walden wrote about Pullman, "I loved the place and I still do, that hasn't diminished a bit. But in my heart, I felt it was time for them have a new coach." "

No comment.
 
Those stories don’t play to the Walden is the devil narrative Pravda Tron tries to pass off.

Cue rambling diatribe. Keyboard cat google activate.

“. Walden has gone out of his way to explain why Wulff is the guy to hire, and it’s a good listen, even if it is a week or so old. Check it out. The recruiting angle in-state is a good point, as well as Wulff’s background. The other thing about this is to listen to his opinion of Mike Price. No, coach Price, Walden will not buy you a mug down at the Cottage, a pitcher at the Page, a pop at the Village (if it’s still there?), or even a calzone at Sella’s!”
https://thesportsdaily.com/2007/12/...jim-walden-loves-paul-wulff-hates-mike-price/

Walden hated Mike Price and Mike Leach (two winners)

And he loved Wulff (the biggest loser in our history)

The “narrative” is from Walden, and when you realize that everything is brutally clear.

The only way for a loser to be celebrated is to try and diminish the accomplishments of actually successful people (to make himself look better and more important the he really is/was)

He acts like a jealous woman that doesn’t like the other pretty girls and gossips about them to everybody and has his ugly bestie stand next to him (Wulff) so he thinks he is sooo great.

That’s Walden. It’s pathetic and he belongs in the trash heap of WSU mistakes never to be talked about again.

No. The Walden opinion articles for the last 20 years are the embarrassment of a tired schtick.

9-40 is an embarrassment
.400 win % over 9 years is an embarrassment
0-10-1 at Iowa State as an embarrassment

And to illustrate just how stupid YOU are for not realizing it.

In the 170 coaches who have coached in the Pac 12 Walden ranks about #125.

You know who is #126? Tyrone Willingham

That’s right. Ole Jim Walden is in the same league as the guy who took the Huskies to 0-12. And you worship him. You love him. You can’t get enough of his brain dead jibber jabber and folksy quips.

He is a disease and you’re one of way too many delusional that allow him to have a platform.

You sir are a Coug that expects excellence and I thank you for your support of WSU and our march towards being the success that the Palouse, the alumni, the students, the program deserve.

A toast to you and our 4th winning season and chance to set the record of 11 wins with our Johnny Unitas winning QB

No, you dumb mother****er. I worship no man. Not Jim Walden, not Mike Leach, not Bear Bryant, not not a single human on this earth is worshiped.

I live by a higher standard than obsessive hate and hoping for one's death and celebrating their passing. In your case, though, I'm willing to make an exception.
 
Well, congrats guys. You’re united in celebrating the future death of a man because he didn’t win enough games and comments he’s made about his former employer.

Here's the point - we've ALL heard tron's numbers. Some of us even have advanced degrees and certifications that involved much more complicated mathematics than a winning percentage. We've seen it literally HUNDREDS of times.

WE F'ING GET IT. WALDEN LOST MORE THAN HE WON.

Yet Tron hijacks every thread when Walden's name is mentioned, ties back every discussion to his obsessive hate and dismisses others opinions as 'stupid' (again, see the advanced degrees, math, etc.), let alone perhaps allowing the possibility that a person can have good and bad points to their being...as far as I'm aware there was only one perfect human being.

You and I have done BATTLE over many differing opinions, yet I don't ever recall name-calling or questioning the other's intelligence. We are simply differing in our point of view. And that's ok. Most of the time, its a good vent.

Tron believes its his god-given right to re-write history and encourages group-think and that is, well, damned near un-American.

And I won't sit here while someone badmouths the United States of America.

Gentlemen.

No I am not “re-writing” history. I’m telling you facts so people aren’t clouded by bullsh*t. facts.

What people “thoughts”, “feelings”, “emotions” are not facts. Facts are facts. Results are results.

I want WSU to win more than it loses. I like people who win more than they lose for coaches. I only want the advice/insight of people who win more than they lose about the program. That’s how you build a winning culture.

If people are constantly going back to the well to drink from the well of knowledge from losers....guess what you are going to lose more because that is what you have been taught.

Walden some 80 year old man saying hello to people on the street. Fine.

Walden some revered pedestal authority on all things Coug and what we should be doing with the program. Bad.

You don’t need advanced degrees in mathematics to know that if you want to learn how to be successful you seek the insight from SUCCESSFUL people.

Not people that lowered our win% during his tenure, not people that couldn’t win 1 game his last year coaching at the level.

You say don't egg it on, then in the next sentence you egg it on. Nice.


Aside from being a good read, the Walden article points out that CJW left WSU (was not fired), and that he did it because he felt it was the best thing for the program. 100% different story from the nauseating narrative of some a-holes.

The Millard story in part tells how he was basically and unfairly kicked off the team his Senior year (and only 2nd year playing FB), and how a teacher grabbed a WSU recruiter, there to look at another player, and got him to look at Millard. Pretty lucky all the way around.

You and Walden have the same problem- you need a lot of attention. When you don’t get it you have tantrums.

Oh you like numbers. Here's some numbers for you.

Walden's career .430 win % at WSU from a program perspective is that of Idaho. #117 out of 130 schools.
Walden's career .335 win % at Iowa State from a program perspective is that of FIU #128 out of 130 schools.
Walden's career total win % of .386 at the FBS level is that of #126 Kent State.

That is the reality of Walden.

Now by Comparison Leach's record at WSU .545 is UCF is he wins the Alamo bowl he will be closer to Cal's .552 overall win% #62
At Texas Tech he was .661 which is about #13... Georgia.
Overall Leach is currently .614 which is #22.... Clemson

Mike Price at WSU was .516 which is #79 South Carolina
Mike Price at UTEP was .414 which is #122 Wake Forest (UTEP currently is #125)

And that should succinctly illustrate why I don't want to hear from Jim Walden anymore. I don't care about FIU/Kent State caliber coaching telling us what to think or feel about our program.

This is why I like Leach. I want a Win% on par with Georgia and Clemson.

You are such a dick. What tantrums? I post two Coug articles. You have since made multiple disparaging comments in the thread to others. I redirect to the "other" article. That's a tantrum? What are your shitty posts called? Wisdom? More like Whizzdumb.

And I need a lot of attention? As you side with the freak that wishes people dead and has post after post of the same old hate?

Here is a question, since 1931 how many bowl games did WSU attend? How many winning seasons did they have? How many times did they play for the rose Bowl? and more important how many Apple Cups were played in Pullman, how many times did USC and UCLA come to town?

Nobody cares Ed. Go to California and ask that question. The answer. Nobody cares. Go to the Midwest, the South, SEC country nobody cares.

Walden convinces people that it “was the whole world”. Classic tactic for a snake oil salesman or used car salesman to make things seem bigger or more important than they seem. Which Walden always did. He was a bullsh*tter take false credit for everything create a fantasy of accomplishments.

What people care about is National exposure and program consistency. That’s what people really care about.

We went to the Rose Bowl long before Walden. He also was given a 6-5 WSU team that had just beat #15 Nebraska and #14 Cal with Jack Thompson and Dan Doornick two players he didn’t recruit.

That’s right the year before Walden WSU beat not 1 but 2 top 15 teams.... and somehow “he was the “savior” of WSU”

HE FU.CKING LIED TO YOU ALL. He’s a liar and a bullsh*tter.

He was full of sh*t. Like Wulff saying “doing it the right way”

I swear we have the dumbest fans to believe anything that moron Walden says. Are you all honesty that naive and stupid?

He (like Wulff) screwed around created a narrative of blah blah blah didn’t do wel and then made everything about the Apple Cup if only we can win that game we won’t be losers.

Newsflash WSU was winners the year before he got there. We beat two top 15 teams. And all of a sudden...well are losers golly shucks guys....play us in Pullman! Blah blah blah... see here i’m the savior of WSU. They were going to burn down WSU make us go join the Sunbelt but don’t you Cougs worry I told them Hell no! It’s me Walden and boy they were scared. They were so nervous they knew better and they are playing us now in Pullman. You can thank me later by keeping me around for 30 years later when it’s clear I have no idea what the hell i’m doing. That’ll be payment enough... unless of course you guys want to pay me for “color commentary” i’ll take that money too. Now what was I saying... oh yeah as pappy likes to say sometimes a Bruin craps in the woods but make no mistake we will be cramping on a Bruin in Pullman! See yeah!!! Am I right!?!? Don’t pay attention to all my losses. I am bullsh*tting here and they are loving it. Wow we have some gullible stupid people here. .. I think i’ll Run back here after I get run out of Aimes because I am a sh*tty coach who couldn’t win a game.
