9 hours ago9 hr Administrator No. As reported by John Canzano...both have feelers taking place with the WSU Athletic Department for coaching. At what point do coaches pass the "retread" label? Sometimes reality is....Too Unbelievable. Mr. FishDuck
9 hours ago9 hr No. Ooof... Chip it's a sign that you should just retire when you're looking at WSU. Or go do TV for a few years.
9 hours ago9 hr Moderator No. Well, if either get hired by WSU it's a guaranteed low pressure job with a few million a year salary and not a lot of press spotlight. I bet that's what Chip would prefer right now.

1 hour ago1 hr No. I was always a bit surprised Neuheisel never found another coaching stop somewhere after UCLA but, at this point, he has now been gone 14 years and I think turns 65 in February. Jerry is now 33, so maybe he is thinking coach 3-5 years and hope to hand it off to his son?Chip is 62 and must not be ready to get out of the game. I took a look at available sources and it looks like since coming to Oregon, Chip has earned about $82 million. I would hope he only jumps back into college head coaching if he is over whatever that exit at UCLA was. Has that happened? It would be a concern I think in hiring him.6 colleges had head coaches 64+ this year: Belichick (73), Ferentz (70), Keeler (66), Whittingham (66), Fritz (65), Cignetti (64), and Mora (64); and, 2/6 have been their schools 27 and 22 years. Overall only 11 coaches were 60+.Given those ages and all the recent changes to the college game, as an AD, I don't think I could pull the trigger on either; but, I think both could probably fill some seats. Last year, WSU only averaged about 24,300 in attendance, behind several of its new conference foes (Fresno State 41k, Boise State 37k, Oregon State 36k, Colorado State 33k, San Diego State 25k). I guess after good numbers to start the year, attendance tailed off and ended up lower (about 23,200). I think FCS Montana averaged over 26k a game (so it almost has to be a bit of a concern).
