It's official. Paul Wulff will no longer be the head coach of the WSU Cougar football team. News on the topic was plastered across the cover of the Daily Evergreen today.
“I think winning football games generates fans,” Wulff said.
Wulff, who finished his fourth season at WSU with a record of 9-40, was rumored to have been dismissed from his position following the 38-21 defeat to the University of Washington in Saturday’s Apple Cup. Earlier on Tuesday during his press conference, Moos said his decision was not made before the Apple Cup, but said that the lack of excitement and game attendance played a major role in his decision.
“We have a heck of a program, and we were an injury or two away from being in a bowl game this year, which to me would have been an incredible feat to me based on how far we’ve come in such a short time,” Wulff said.
“Hopefully when people look back and know the ins and outs of what happened in the four years we were here and what we started with and what we’ve changed, and they look back and see all the wins we’re going to have in the next couple of years, they’re going to say those kids were coached and groomed by the coaching staff that was in place,” Wulff said.
“The great thing about Washington State University and being a Coug is that we don’t do it like everyone else,” Wulff said. “We stick together, and we don’t eat our own. I believe the innocence of Wazzu has been lost today. I leave with a heavy heart, but I’m excited to see the fruits of our labor ripen over the next few years.”
