ESPN does not like west coast time for TV scheduling or travel. Now they all the “important” west coast teams playing on eastern or central time.

Good points! I also think Cantwell wants someone younger.

This is not an X & O question. This is what does our 6 month old president want since we don’t have an AD.

Also, how she feels about what happened with having a new “upcoming” coach the past 2 years

💯 agree. Since WSU has been burned on the last 2 upcoming coaches, not sure they want to take a chance again.

My guess is they want an experienced HC on the younger side based on Cantwells use of “contemporary”.

That limits options but are a lot of coaches out there that get overlooked.

From a pure X & O’s standpoint, is probably one of the best options.

Not opposed to that approach.

He’s a good coach & he could win in Pullman.

But… he left college football because he hated NIL.

What’s changed? Is he committed?

Kelly said he hates NIL.

So the question is can he recruit on a budget without NIke money?

You may already know this but he’s from Prosser, WA. He definitely knows the 509 in terms of culture and recruiting so that’s a plus.

Has a good resume but still lacks HC experience. Not sure if that fits with Cantwell’s criteria but a likely upcoming HC at some point.

That you read Ricks wiki? He committed recruiting violations at both UW and CO. He covered up a player rape at UW. Also, signed a 6 year contract and then secretly signed with SF.

Chip hates NIL & fundraising so there’s that issue.

He can’t fund raise and quit because he hated NIL. Core job requirement at WSU.

Nevada basketball team jet.

WSU and OSU have stuck together through the collapse of the PAC.

Hard for WSU fans to see OSU as a rivals. It would take a while if at all to dislike Beavs like both schools do for Oregon and UW.

Fun rivalry at best.

Dang! Next time! #gocougs

Take a couple of days off. No one is doing much work before Christmas. Will be fun. Come to the game.

Agree but we gotta get used to it.

Come to the game, with luck snow will cover it up. Lots of Cougs ready to go and Boise is a fun town.
