So tell me this .. if he won five games with the most experienced QBS maybe ever to wear a wsu uni , and with two senior defensive tackles with tons of experienced , and started to give up 50 plus points a game, how was he going to reverse that trend and win games ? You would have seen the same results u see Doba, as he had some of the basic tools in 07 to be representable . When your two best offensive players by far are your center and a wr without a qb to consistently get him the ball you are screwed.
Wsu was for the most part starting from scratch in the three most important positions . Even smu in their conference could find the bodies to rebuild quicker .
Again, Doba took a good thing and ran it into the ground .
I'm not saying that Doba was going to right the ship. The program was going downhill, that's why Doba was fired. I do think Doba would have won more than three games the next two seasons, and would not have posted four shutouts during that time, and might have even had the lead in regulation during just one game during the 2009 season.
What happened to Wulff's magic eye for talent that was going to lead WSU out of the abyss?
