it's a good hire in Pullman.

Now the question is, who takes over in Cheyney?

They had a heckuva young team. I'd hate to see them bring in somebody who's going to change the course of the ship mid-stream.

Congratulations to a fine coach!

I hope EWU gets who they want as a replacement!

It's a sad day for all EWU fans. They are poised to do something no BSC team has done in about 10 years...win the outright BSC title from Montana. Hopefully they get a good coach and it doesn't derail the program. xcoolx xcoolx xcoolx

Hopefully, they don't hire a Glanville who will change things so drastically it completely goes counter to the personnel on hand.

No disrespect to PSU or its hire. But it takes time to shift philosophies and in EWU's case, Wulff's philosophy has them ready to make a championship-level run.

EWU fans would love to see them promote the OC but word is that he is going with Coach Wulff to Pullman. If that is the case then I am not sure who they could bring in to keep things status-quo (sp?). This team is poised to do some big things next year and it is imperative that they bring someone in to continue the momentum. Go Eagles!!!

How about Beau Baldwin, the head coach at Central Washington? Wasn't he on the EWU staff last year?

Got it. Jody Sears is the Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Ends coach at EWU. Played with Wulff at Washington State.

Who are the Eagle fans pulling for?

Congrats to Wulff, he seems like a stand up guy. I think he had EWU on the verge and I hate to see FCS lose good coaches to the FBS ranks. Still, hope he is able to turn around a bad WSU team.

That's a perfect hire for Washington State. He's going to get that team headed back in the right direction.

Wulff and EWU consistently have given the Griz tough games over his tenure as Head Coach. Whoever takes over the helm should be wise enough to not mess up what is going on their too much. Work with what you got and change over time as the players you sign start to out number the ones you didn't.
**disclaimer, this should only be done in a scenario like the one currently at EWU where they have the nucleus to contend for a NC over the next two years.

I think that the majority of EWU fans would love to see the OC Todd Sturdy appointed to Head Coach but I hear that Coach Wullff wants to take him to WSU. I hope our AD makes a strong run at him but it sounds like he is already going. I hope that we aren't serious about Rosenbach or DC Jody Sears. It is too bad that this great team may not have any stability left from the previous coaching staff. Go Eagles!!!

He is taking Jody Sears with him. What do you think of Beau Baldwin? He did a good job at CWU this year and has coached at EWU.

I think that Beau Baldwin would be awesome but he has already said that he wants to stay at CWU. Go Eagles!!!

Agree, Beau would be a great coach for the EWU program. However as a first year Head Coach and a team that will contend for a National title next year in DII...he might really stay.

Blaine Bennett would be another great young(er) coach - he was a finalist for the Idaho job last year, and is from the area.

here is a link to his Bio (http://msuspartans.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/bennett_blaine00.html)

Congrats to Paul Wulff.
