Washington State athletic director Bill Moos was on Cougar Calls with Bud Nameck today and he says that a defensive coordinator hire could be expected by the end of the week. Again, don't take Moos' timelines too seriously.
"We have talked to a couple [candidates] with very impressive resumes," Moos said. "We have a couple more this week and I would say that probably by the end of this week we'll have one in place. I can't guarantee that but again, as we mentioned last week and weeks before, this is a huge hire.
"This has got to be the right person; we actually have two openings on defense. We want to have a coordinator in place to help make the choice on the other position. I think I said this last week is that my goal, and coach Leach knows it and feels the same way, is when the Cougar defense comes off the field, that's not time to go get a hot dog and a pop. We want to be as exciting defensively as it is offensively, and when that's in place, look out."
