While I think it's inevitable that WSU falls back to struggling to reach bowl eligibility this year with the events of the past week......I'm a bit disappointed with our fans lack of faith. Last month, Leach was one of the great minds in college football and we would be stupid not to pay him $4 million per year. This month, our OL is hopeless, our receivers are terrible and we have no QB's that we trust to play.
If Leach is truly worth $4 million per year, we should have some young players in the system that are ready to step in and make some noise. Again, regression is likely inevitable this year, but I'd like to think that our coach is good enough to keep our team competitive for the most part. That said, even though I think Leach should put out a team that has some fight in it, a 5-7 or 6-6 season might be the healthiest thing for our fan base so they appreciate 9-4 a bit more.
So, Coopers been on campus roughly 3 weeks and presumably working out with the team. Anyone with a word on how he looks and how it's going with him?
Ok, first of all CML does not make $4 million (yet). His salary this year is $3.5 million.
That said, I agree completely. We have great young talent on campus, including two 4 star QB's. It would be sort of an indictment of them if we ran out in a panic and brought someone else in, who would already be a year behind Neville and a Spring practice behind Cooper. Not discounting all the other QB's on the roster (including Bledsoe), but these two will be front and center this Spring. If the "system" works, we will be just fine.
One thing I can't find is how old these two are. Doesn't matter much, but a little age maturity never hurts.

Off season conditioning. Not football practice. Spring ball should start in mid-March.
I guess what I'm getting at is Cooper must be throwing the ball around with somebody in the course of getting to know everyone. Was wondering with whom that might be. Some of the returning receivers? The other QBs?Off season conditioning. Not football practice. Spring ball should start in mid-March.
Not necessarily the same situation, but the Ducks brought in the transfer from Montana State (Dakota Prukop?) after Vernon Adams graduated assuming they needed someone with lots of game experience. It wasn't long before Justin Herbert emerged, as a true freshman, and became a very good QB. If my memory is correct, Herbert actually came into fall ball either #3 or #4 on the depth chart. Maybe one of the young Cougs becomes WSU's Justin Herbert?
