New Washington State football coach Paul Wulff is forming his staff. We're all for starting anew and bringing in guys who are "your" guys, but Wulff would be making a mistake to let Mike Lenvenseller go. Not only has he been an assistant with the team since 1992, but he played WR for WSU and held many WR records at the school. He is known as one of the best WR coaches in the country, evidenced by the strong group of receivers WSU perennially puts out there.
The only real question was if Levenseller would accept a "demotion" from OC to WR coach. That question was clearly answered by George Yarno in the PI article:
"He (Levenseller) wants to stay more than all of us," Yarno said. "He's the real Cougar of the group."
Wulff should do the smart thing, keep Levenseller and use the other 8 positions for "his" guys. What can it hurt, you have a WR coach who is loyal, hard-working, smart, and knows how to recruit kids to Pullman. That sounds like the kind of guy we'd want on our staff.
