Blanchette: WSU Shouldn’t Bring Mike Price Back

The funniest variation had Price becoming head coach and Doba agreeing to serve again as defensive coordinator, as he did for nine years before his big break. Because, you know, orchestra conductors who get fired always want to hang around to play second violin. The Internet traffics in almost everything, except dignity. And speaking of dignity, it was certainly thoughtful of WSU athletic director Jim Sterk to acknowledge to a Seattle newspaper that Price "would be somebody on a list of coaches that I would obviously consider but by no means is he the guy" – before the Apple Cup and thus purportedly before Doba's fate had been decided. You'd think Sterk could have found something on which to scribble his shopping list besides the back of Doba's pink slip/John Blanchette, Spokesman-Review. Full column here.

Question: How much do you HBOers care about Washington State athletics?
