COUGAR FOOTBALL UPDATED 4:20 P.M.

OK, I know it’s hard to believe but WSU spring football starts today.

And coach Bill Doba is adding responsibilities.

As Glenn Kasses’ story relates, Doba is taking over the defensive coordinator’s role now that Robb Akey is in Moscow. And Doba will be working with the linebackers, all roles he had when Mike Price was head coach.

Glenn will have more on the spring practices – and Doba’s multi-faceted roles – on his blog.

• The opening of spring drills brings a Craig Smith story from the Times (on the Cougs still dealing with injuries), a Todd Milles piece from the News Tribune (on Doba’s new jobs) and this wire story that ran in the P-I. UPDATE: The Vancouver Columbian has this on the spring practices.

• After reading Glenn’s story on Doba’s new roles, what do you think of his new roles? Do you believe it was the right thing to do? Will it be an improvement for the team overall? Click the comment bar and let us know.
