The destination of departing Coug coaches since the 80s is super wild btw a mix of only depressing lateral moves: Iowa State, Mississippi State, Wake Forest and bluest of blue blood: Miami and Alabama.
Shoutout Jackie Sherrill for getting the Pitt job after one awful year in Pullman though.
More UW superiority as Husky coaches who have left for other jobs have only left for the best of the best: Texas, USC, and Alabama.
I wonder if they’ll have fewer of those as their sports programs die. It used to be that if you were a Washington state resident who didn’t get into UW but still wanted the “big school with a football team” college experience then WSU was the default. Western is a better school and Central and Eastern are in places that are slightly less shitty, At least they’re near an interstate.
Yep that's the problem. Without the windfall of cash from the PAC 12 they rate well below some of those places. Even Fresno isn't a ton worse than Pullman since it's at least a short drive to somewhere else.
Kansas State was always the closest comp in terms of type of school and remote location. But instead of one mid-sized American city 2 hours away, KSU has two, with KC being much bigger than Spokane.
You inspired me to search this out online and what I discovered is that their upper campus is somehow worse than UW's. Sounds like Schultz is basically steering them into the Big Sky ditch. Enrollment there is down 6k in recent years, too.

Ewe knew hear?
Daddy issue coeds, of course.
Jackie Sherrill called up the James' residence when Don wasn't there and verbally abused Carol, according to the James'.

Yeah the Mountain West has some much better markets and destinations then Pullman and Corvallis and Eugene, which unfortunately got propped up.
Cuog gonna cuog.
Serious question, why don’t they give up football? Can they afford to keep athletics around?
in time, WSU and Idaho will be on the same level in athletics.
Big Sky dreamers.

HHope Rolovich gets a 40 million dollar settlement 💉 ☠
Goddamned right - enough to buy a place in Hayden and taunt Chinslee daily.
Sounds like Wazzu is decreasing football scholarships to 79… they should go hat in hand and ask the Big Sky for membership.

Whoa……why the disrespect for America’s Team?
