A story on Paul Wulff.

This from Ted Miller?

Ted Miller: The latest to advocate for Paul Wulff's fourth year.

Ted Miller giving some love for WSU and a history lesson. Although he picked WSU to finish last, he thinks the Cougs will take a step up and surprise some people. He also draws some parallels to Price and the late 1990's teams. Miller's got some high praise. I hope he's right.

So I completely forgot about the chat with Wulff this morning on the official site. Since I whiffed on reminding all of you it was going on, I present you with the transcript of the chat you likely missed.

We might as well get this one out of the way now. Grippi took on the task of examining Wulff on the hot seat by talking to the players and Bill Moos. Not surprisingly, those Grippi talked to were in full support of Wulff and optimistic about the Cougs' chances. From the sounds of it, Wulff will be allowed to do his work and continue what he started to do: rebuild the program from the ground up. He also includes a look around the Pac-10, link style. I hope Grippi auto-posted this because a 5:00 AM story on a Sunday takes some serious dedication. Another reminder of why he's the best.

Back during Spring practices, I said we were thin on the D Line. Paul Wulff heard me, adding yet another DT to the 2010 class. Al Lapuaho is a DT from Hawaii. He should contribute right away and has 4 years to play 3. Since Wulff can read my mind: Go sign a 5 star running back and WR. Let's see if this works.

Jake Miller is joining the Cougs as a preferred walk-on this fall and the SR has a nice piece on him. He's a Spokane native and graduate of Central Valley high. Hopefully Jake will pick up where Reid Forrest leaves off after graduation and perhaps bring some stability to the place-kicking game. Thanks to Jake's father for passing along the link.

I think this a fair take on the Wulff situation, which even has a little input from our friends over at WSUFB. The only thing that I think is a little misrepresented is the actual hotness of the seat -- a lot of outsiders don't know that Moos was on the committee that recommended Wulff, and that Moos was reportedly one of his strongest proponents. Unless they totally embarrass themselves this year, I think Wulff gets one more after this one.
