It’s hard not to be stoked about the hiring of Mike Leach to replace Paul Wulff at WSU. Who wouldn’t want a coach who had taken a second-tier football program to bowl games in 10 straight years with a very entertaining, high-scoring brand of football? WSU is in many ways just like Texas Tech – [...]

Leach the right fit for WSU
In: NCAA football|wsu
30 Nov 2011Let’s all agree that the Paul Wulff experiment was an unmitigated disaster for Washington State. Was it all Wulff’s fault? No, but when you win nine games in four seasons, it’s time to cut the cord. The Washington State job is not exactly a prime gig, given the Cougars’ obscurity in the college football landscape, [...]
Win or lose, it’s time to fire Wulff
In: NCAA football|wsu
26 Nov 2011At one point this season, probably in early October just before the Cougars blew a game at UCLA, it looked like the Apple Cup might carry some added intrigue for once. Heck, it still might have if the Cougars had been able to beat Utah in a Pullman snowstorm last Saturday. That would have made [...]

Desperate Wulff puts his future in hands of a freshman quarterback
In: NCAA football|wsu
14 Nov 2011The excuses were getting old, so it was nice to see Paul Wulff’s Washington State Cougars pull off what was probably their best win of the paltry nine victories they have since Wulff arrived in 2008. It would be nice to say it was a stroke of coaching genius on Wulff’s part to insert freshman [...]

Well, those Apple Cup decisions were resolved quickly, but not without a little consternation by both parties. Jake Locker got his bowl game – the Holiday – and Paul Wulff will get to coach another game. Locker needed to rally the Huskies to a fifth touchdown in the final minute to beat a WSU team [...]

Apple Cup: Decisions, decisions
In: NCAA football
3 Dec 2010Decisions, decisions. That’s what this Apple Cup is all about. Jake Locker’s decision to return for his senior year and the looming decision WSU athletic director Bill Moos will have to make regarding whether Paul Wulff remains the coach after the Apple Cup. Locker eschewed the NFL to return for his senior year in the [...]

You know it’s a strange week in the Pac-10 when downtrodden Washington State is actually the best-looking team in the conference. But that was indeed the case as the Cougars snapped a 16-game league losing streak with an impressive 31-14 win at Oregon State. It was easily the best game the Cougars have played in [...]

The Tennessee Volunteers and their 100,000 fans should be quaking (quacking?) in their boots as Kenjon Barner, LaMichael James and the Oregon Ducks bring their ugly duckling uniforms to town. Barner scored five touchdowns in Oregon’s 72-zip zinger over New Mexico last weekend, and now James is back from his one-game suspension. That four-footed backfield [...]
If Cougs don’t win early, they won’t win at all
In: NCAA football|wsu
3 Sep 2009Paul Wulff is in his third year as coach of the suddenly woeful Washington State Cougars, and it’s fair to wonder whether he has any chance of reversing the fortunes of a team that has embarrassingly become one of the worst in college football. The Cougars were 2-11 in 2008 and barely avoided the ignominy [...]
