He'd make an excellent choice. He'd do really, really well there.
Damn. That sucks for us. The bar is about to be raised in this conference. I really hope JE is up to the challenge.

I don't know. Most of these guys whose names are being tossed out there, Leach, June Jones, Sumlin, all run fairly prolific, wide-open offenses. However, none of them are really known for having great defenses that I can recall, and their teams always seemed to be more finesse teams as opposed to physical teams. Now, we will definitely compete for some of the same athletes at the skill positions, but none of these guys are keeping me up at night.

"I was told that we need to move the needle and if the needle moved that we would be fine and I'd get to continue along my five years of my five-year contract," Neuheisel said. "We have won five conference games as opposed to three last year. We have won the right to represent the South in the conference championship. We've certainly had some unfortunate evenings where things haven't gone our way, but I think the program is headed in the right direction."
It's awful how they lied to Rick. He moved the goddamn needle!
Wasn't there a bunch of talk about Bellotti waiting for the ASU job last year when there was talk about CU being interested in him? To me that is the only hire that would make real noise in the P12. Leech, RichRod, Sumlin, Jones and Peterson are all interesting but I think Bellotti would instantly get the attention of other programs/coaches.

The local sports guy last night on tv mentioned Mark Helfrich as on the list.

Looks like the Wazzu Pres. wants him gone, but AD Bill Moos wants to keep Wulff on board. Imo, they should give Wulff another year.

We'll see, maybe he'll hire D II as his equipment manager or chief jock washer....

Their poor defenses may be a liability in the long run but they'll outscore the Buffs with ease unless we work a miracle overnight with our personnel.

Touche. My line of thought though, is that these schools are not going to be immediate offensive juggernauts. Thus, by the time their offenses are installed and their players are in place, we will have had the chance to upgrade our personnel as well. Don't think UCLA or ASU are going to beat us any worse with Sumlin/Jones at the helm than what they already did this year.
4 mil in la is not that much. well, yes but when you take into account the cost of living in la say vs a city in alabama, ohio or other cities with high profile coaches making 3 to 5 million a year... a lot of that budget gets eaten up in just buying a house.
not that he will be in the poor house on the block but....
quite frankly wulff earned another year
Sumlin to ASU... hmmmm. Norton huh?

just my prediction
Has never worked at the college level, but they may have done him a favor here indeed by firing him now instead of early January, when most college positions will have been filled.

Bad move by WSU. Good move for CU.
Wazzu AD Moos (yes, that is his real name, not a commentary on his public speaking), specifically said Pirate Mike is on his short list...that would be great. ML would beat up on a weak OOC and go 4-5 or 3-6 every year in the P12. CU beat his teams pretty regularly, go ahead Wazzu, hire Mike, we've seen his gig...it isn't anything special.
Pirate and recruiting California should be interesting. He would compete with us for texas guys, but I think he will be rudely surprised at the difficulty in getting them up to WSU.
^^^Recruiting to Wazzu is not easy, all the good players in the NW want to go to Oregon, UW, OSU and WSU in that order of preference. When they had success, Price was pulling guys from Cali that had academic, legal problems that made them less desirable for the other P10 schools. Given the fact the P12 is two schools larger now, that will be even harder as UU and CU are more attractive than Pullman...I mean have you ever been to Pullman? The place makes Ames IA look like a garden spot. Wazzu under Price was sort of the KjSU of the P12, Leach is, oddly enough, very interested in his guys getting degrees and graduating, he will have a tough time in the Palouse.
