REPORT: Paul Wulff Likely To Be Fired, Mike Leach A Candidate

He did the hard work of resuscitating this program and it is sad to see him go.

But with that said, my pants are still—solemnly—coming off.

But you want to be known nationally for more than just waving flags on gameday at some point. If this move is possible, and I’m far from convinced it is but I’ll go with it, than that makes us a national story for awhile.

I don’t know about replacing Wulff with another FCS coach or a coordinator with little to no head coach experience. But it’s hard to argue against a move like this (if it’s a real possibility, I’ll reserve judgement).

Could I qualify my statements anymore, geez.

told me this was a done deal no matter how the rest of the season went. Wulff is a good person and I hope he lands on his feet. I am sure he can find another gig at a lower level. Maybe the rebuild was just too big?

They need to open up the pool to more than just Leach/Bellotti and I’m sure they will do just that in the “search”. If it was a done deal before ASU then Moos has had feelers out for some time. This is a good job for the right guy and Moos will come through with a good hire. Too much is at stake with the new facility project.

Leach sounds like a homerun even if he were only around for 2-3 years. Need to get this thing going and the Pac 12 is up for grabs after Oregon/Stanford/SC. Not many really good teams after those 3.

I think if it comes out Monday wulff is retained for a year a lot of people will feel silly

and I’m okay with it.

You do not want a gotcha moment.

If he is gone I definitely wish him the best. If someone comes in next year and is succesful with his recruits I wouldn’t doubt CPW getting another rebuild job at the FBS level.

Also some people are worried about being a “stepping stone”, did we forget that we will almost double our athletic budget next year? If we have a coach that is succesful we will actually be able to compensate them now unlike in years past. And even if he moves on who gives a crap, that means we were good for a few years and Moos will just make another good hire.

I loved the lobster’s effort tonight and throughout the season. It is players like that that make me proud to be a coug even though we have sucked for a while.

Rough night tonight but go cougs.

It will be fascinating to see what happens here. If someone like Leach is hired, he might be wise to retain some of the staff. He’s been out of coaching for 2 years and most of his former staff is established elsewhere. He might want to consider keeping Chris Ball. The guy has proven to be one of our top recruiters, especially in Northern California, and the improvement of the defense this year has been one of the most promising delelopments.

And for those of you worried that Leach might use us as a “stepping stone” job, look at his coaching tree. His hands are all over the current success of programs like Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and West Virginia. He’s proven adept at developing young offensive coordinators, and the program could have a successor in place should he choose to bolt after a few years.

I would LOVE to see him hire Gesser as a QB coach. JG has been outspoken about his desire to someday be the head coach at Wazzu, and I thought it was a mistake on Wulff’s part to not give him some sort of full-time position. Let him work his way up on our staff and I think you could have a great young coach in the making.

WSU will have paid paul w $3 million for the 5 years – that is $333,000 per win.
The end of the day – this is a big time business .

We’ve longed for a team worthy of Coach Leach for 2 yrs. now. With the exception of the burden of having to loose your Coach Wulff ( Coach Leach would respect that ), ya’ll would be a win- win. We yelled for Miami ( what a mistake that would have been ) - then Maryland (what a mistake they made ) because I think coach Leach would have enjoyed that challenge. Ole Miss. — we are from there — tho eons ago. You guys would enjoy watching the SEC if that happened ! But, no, my vote is here ! Good people for a good guy who happens to be a great coach !!

Longevity … Coach Leach’s oldest daughter just hooded from Tech’s Med. School this past May. Youngest daughter finishes the Law School this coming May. His and his family’s lives were there. He still grieves for the place and just sold his home there.

Read “Swing Your Sword” - the back has some of the e-mails and depos. in there. (only some) -— Read “Double T Double Cross” by retired Lt. Col. Michael Lee Lanning (Aggie). His book out lines James’ Spaeth Communications political PR firm conspiring with the Universities’ PR Dept., Brooke Robbins (AP reporter) and Joe Scadd (ESPN) to fill the blogs and media with pseudonyms and stories to promote the lies and the Spaeth produced “Closet” video ! Both books are FAST – EASY reads … worth your while what-ever the out come.

His pay …. Coach Leach has NEVER been paid ONE dime on his new ’09 contract ~ or for the last whole season he coached !! THUS his lawsuit with TTU.

Read the “Double T Nation” Blogs. Read the face-book Team Leach. There is still an open revolt among the Alumni, students, and fans. (and, players (?), as Tuberville has highlighted Nancy James and made him Capt.!!) We’ve had 7 players quit or transfer this year. Coach Leach was loved for a reason - of course, his Team - but, because he loved us too !!

Double your fan base instantly …. and we will be supporting by wearing your colors and watching your teams !

from University of Texas. He was behind the program’s conditioning and few injuries regime. That’s why Coach Leach’s teams could play for the FULL 60 minutes. They just set back and watched the other teams players start to rest their hands on their hips - and BAM - TD !!

I’m so glad it’s not being made by me or by Sterk.

It already feels like if it’s not Leach, it’s a massive failure.

and apparently they returned the favor. If I were them I probably would’ve thrown the game. 9-40. Only the 70s Beavs produced a worse record over a 4 yr period.
Good luck PW and I expect that you will land on your feet. Leach, there are some great assistants, such as Morton, Tormey and Levy. I hope they make your short list.
Thanks to the Huskies for making this decision so much easier. I believe PW would have been kept with a win.
