WSU football fans seem to be divided on unconfirmed rumors that TV analyst and former college football coach, Rick Neuheisel is being considered to run the program.
Neuheisel is known for his charisma and telegenic appearance, points that could win over recruits and donors.
In addition, his son Jerry is an offensive play caller at UCLA. It is thought that he could arrive with Rick as a package deal, with the proposition of Jerry becoming offensive coordinator and possibly take over eventually as head coach when the senior Neuheisel retires. The Cougars were successful doing this with the basketball program when Dick Bennett was hired as head basketball coach, son Tony, was his assistant, eventually taking over and starting a stellar college coaching career.
Not every Coug fan is on board with a possible Neuheisel hire as many remember him as the brash Husky football coach. If that wasn't enough, Neuheisel is not known for having a spotless record at this coaching stops.
However, the rules to the college game have changed and many think that Neuheisel is the man to navigate the waters. -
