SEATTLE — Washington State coach Paul Wulff says he has the support of the administration and will be back in 2010 despite just three victories in his first two seasons.
In a conference call with reporters ahead of Saturday’s Apple Cup against Washington, Wulff says athletic director Jim Sterk has talked to his staff and been “very reassuring about what we’ve been doing.”
Wulff, a former offensive lineman for the Cougars, was hired to take over for Bill Doba after the 2007 season. He went 2-11 in his first year, but that included a victory over the Huskies.
Plagued by injuries and a lack of depth, the Cougars are 1-10 entering Saturday’s game, where they are 24›-point underdogs to the Huskies.
