To be clear, I'm not terribly confident in either of their abilities to get done what needs to be done. But that's also partially a side effect of how I'm still feeling. But it's also because ... they haven't shown they can in this case.

Schulz's statement yesterday really showed he put too much trust in everyone else. If he learns the lesson, that everyone is out for themselves right now, then good. Same goes for Chun. Plus, firing them now sets off a 6-9 month process to re-hire. That's bad!

Emotions are high, which is understandable. Mine are too! I just don't see a situation where nuking your leadership over this **right now** is the best solution for the university.

Yeah, we are not nor have we ever been in a position to make a demand. The default almost had to be to trust everyone but clearly more work needed to be done behind the scenes to prepare. Publicly anyway, it seems like you weren't ready.

Guys, I'm going to say something some of you need to hear: the school president is also president of the ... school. Firing the guy two weeks before the school year is unideal!

Things have no been going swimmingly academically for the last few years (I was genuinely unaware of this!) but you don't just yank the cord suddenly on decisions like this. The cycle to replace a university president is damn near a **calendar year**.

@RM_Preston Fire immediately and bring in Moos as interim. The relationships he has may help. If we fire this enept leadership, it will give the media and the rest of the college football world a queue that the Cougar fanbase means business. Fire Them Now!

@dotcoug My put would be it shows the exact opposite: Wazzu is flailing and bringing in a guy who has no insight on the current deal or realities of this as he's been out of college sports for 2 years.

@RM_Preston Schultz should definitely be fired. He has made a mistake at literally every single point in this process and was one of the key figures to get us into this mess. Continuing to trust he’ll somehow get this part right would be lunacy.

@CoachB_H Take 6-9 months to find a replacement so ... what do you do in the interim when you NEED a landing spot?

@RM_Preston Right now? Yes. Immediately after our fate is known? Had to happen… at least for Schulz.

@RM_Preston The entire PAC-12 was asleep at the switch for years! Who did Larry Scott and George Kliavkoff report to? Who apparently gave them carte blanche to reduce the "Conference of Champions" to rubble? Folks want Schulz and Chun to "say something" but what can they say???

@RM_Preston I am firmly in the we have to let the plane land camp ...but then heads almost certainly need to roll barring some sort of miraculous recovery, like a full share in the Big12

@RM_Preston How much of this falls on the AD? Everything I’ve read makes this whole process sound very pres/chancellor-centric. (Although, the recent revelation re lack of proper budget oversight in athletics warrants Chun’s dismissal…)

@RM_Preston That’s under the impression that they have a plan and sacking them would be to start over. They have no plan. We are already at start over.

@RM_Preston Additionally, no one is more incentivized right now to get WSU back on track than those two. Their career and reputation are on the line just as much. What we need to do is survive and advance, and learn from these grave tactical errors.

@RM_Preston I mean, how could it possibly get worse? Lmao. We are already massively in debt, getting dropped by every conference, and have embarrassed ourselves beyond belief.

@RM_Preston I'd like to ask those folks where they think it was possible for WSU & OSU to land. If no one is buying what you have, it deoesn't matter how good or attractive your product is. We know we have great programs, it just appears that others aren't enthused about joining with us.

@RM_Preston Unless I’ve missed it. I haven’t seen a single Coug Donor who moves the needle, suggest either should lose their jobs. @PapaThrow @GlennOsterhout @CougCon @wade_hogg have all publically backed our admin.

@RM_Preston I don't think they will be fired... they will simply leave and follow the $$$ to a Power 4 institution they helped to create through consolidation.
