October 20, 20214 yr That would suck. He is probably our best assistant coach. I enjoy our special teams play for the most part.
October 20, 20214 yr He's been a head coach for one game in his entire career. He was interim coach for ATM's bowl game after Sumlin was fired. I's not very likely. The only other example of a FBS school doing something like this is Clemson and it was a very different situation. Dabo had been there for 5 years as an assistant and coached for half the season as interim head coach before they officially hired him.

They can afford to take these type of chances. Hopefully we force him to take Kwiatkowski with him.
October 20, 20214 yr Just saw that Rolovich is suing. That is going to be a complete mess, I wouldn't worry about Banks at this point.

His entire coaching tenure has been in Washington, Idaho, Utah, and Montana prior to coming to Texas, along with 4 years as a head coach at Montana. Not to mention his team at Montana got better every year 4-7 -> 5-6 -> 8-5 (second round of FCS playoffs) -> 11-4 (FCS semifinals)

Something like that.

October 20, 20214 yr Maybe we could interest them in a gently used Pete Kwiatkowski instead Edited October 20, 20214 yr by GTX Horn
October 20, 20214 yr I mean as @closetojumpingsaid the likeliest reason it happens is because we can't have nice things or whatever, but when has Washington State ever been a destination school for a hot name? There's only one I can think of and he almost doesn't count because he's so weird. Going back in time here is the list of schools where Washington State hires have come from: Washington State Hawaii Unemployed Eastern Washington The Citadel Weber State Wyoming I don't see them hiring Banks or Grinch.

If they want him he's taking it..Not to mention the gf and monkey have expensive tastes, cant live on assitants salary.

October 20, 20214 yr Take this shit to the fucking Cloak Room, you fucking….wait, my bad. Wrong Wazzu thread.
October 20, 20214 yr I thought they might go after the HC of San Jose State, Brent Brennan, or if they miss Leach, and the air raid, Graham Harrell current OC out of USC.

October 20, 20214 yr The only coach that could make that shitty program relevant would be Nick Saban. Good luck to any coach that takes that job.
