Coaches Hot Seat Analysis
What we know about Paul Wulff we
could probably write on a cocktail napkin, but from the
game tapes we have seen from his time at Eastern
Washington, and the stories we have read in the media (like
this one by ESPN.com's Ted Miller on Paul Wulff),
lead us to believe that he was a very good hire by
Washington State. Wulff is taking over a football
program at WSU that has been in many ways reeling since
Mike Price left for Alabama five years ago, and is
certainly a much different football team than when Wulff
played at WSU in the late 1980s. There have been a
whole host of off-field problems that have impacted an
outsider's view of the WSU program, and although Bill
Doba did a decent job keeping Washington State
competitive in the Pac-10, there is still a lot of work
to be done by Wulff if he wants to return WSU to the top
of their conference. Paul Wulff seems to be the
right guy in the right spot for Washington State, but he
has huge challenges ahead of him, and it will be
interesting to see what he can do in a Pac-10 conference
that is dominated by USC, with several teams now just
behind hoping to dethrone the Trojans. Just
getting out of the bottom of the Pac-10 will be tough
for Wulff and WSU, and moving up to challenge for the
conference title in the coming years, may be damn
impossible.
Coaches Hot Seat
Bottom Line
We predict that
Paul Wulff and Washington State will have a 1-11 record
in 2008.
Needless to say, Washington State plays a tough schedule
in 2008 with Oklahoma State, and trips to Baylor and
Hawaii out-of-conference, and a very tough Pac-10
schedule as well. This is a transition year for
WSU, and if Paul Wulff can win more than 2 or 3 games he
will be doing well, and we just don't see many wins for
Washington State in 2008.

Will Paul Wulff be back for the
2009 season? YES
